What movies traumatized you for life?

[VersesBatman]

He this weird robot voice. That's why I hate the Teletubbies. They remind me of that.

[RedPhoenix23]

I don't remember what The Nothing is about, but the wolf in The Neverending Story scared me senseless.

[VersesBatman]

The nothing destroyed everything.

[RedPhoenix23]

Oh I'm dumb, I read the post wrong I thought 'The Nothing' was a different movie, my bad!

[VersesBatman]

The giant tortoise scared my little brother.

[smallvillefanforlife]

those movies are just weird how they look and the creatures

[VersesBatman]

I liked the luck dragon. He was cool.

[DarkseidX]

I watched Thirteen Ghosts when it came out on DVD. There's this scene where this oversized baby and his small mom are like standing together. The oversized baby was huge and had weird gooey green stuff hanging out of his mouth. For some reason, whenever I eat specifically Honey Bunches of Oats, I always think of that scene and I almost vomit the HBoO.

Yeah I know that's pretty weird. But I used to love that cereal.:\

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah i used to have that movie its alright but there were some scary moments in it

[RedPhoenix23]

I thought the scariest part was when all the bad ghosts got released in the end! That was messed up. Couldn't they have stayed locked up?

[DarkseidX]

The movie wasn't scary, it's just that gross image of his small mom and him wearing a diaper....ewww it just grossed me out.

[Shadowknight]

When i was 4 i saw Pet Cemetary man that kid creeped me out nightmares all year cause of that movie

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah i like the second one better though it just had a better plot than the first

[SoulCystic]

how in the world can we fill up dozens of pages about traumatic movies!! We are gluttons for punishment!!:D

[VersesBatman]

I guess the same reason why people like scary rides.

[Summers]

Its like we want to turn away from the screen, but we are drawn to it.

I read an essay by Stephen King, and his theory is that as humans we need to be scared.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i agree sometimes its like i just want to watch or read something scary i think thats what draws ua to scary rides too

[LexPlex]

Passion of Christ Scarred me for life in a way horror films never could!!!! lol

[VersesBatman]

Sometimes a person died before getting crucified.

[smallvillefanforlife]

see i wont watch this movie cause i feel as if it will really tramitize me

[VersesBatman]

I can't handle that kind of thing.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i know when i used to go to sunday school we watched this movie about the end of the world and it has never left me i just wish i could get it out of my head

[VersesBatman]

At church I watched this film about Jesus getting crucified and it made me cry. When I heard Passion was more graphic, i couldn't go see it.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i refuse to watch that movie for some reason why do we want to see that happen to him

[VersesBatman]

I've had people tell me it's to drive home what Christ did for us. I can get that message without the flying flesh and rivers of blood.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i mean i know what he did but its just so sad and its like it will stay in my head stuff like that does

[SoulCystic]

I don't know. it was pretty bad. And even though i "knew" it gave it a whole lot more seeing it.

-cs™

I know...

Leatherface, Norman Bates, and Buffalo Bill were all based on Gein.. I'm sure this has been said before

[VersesBatman]

Yep.

It's so unbelievable.

What's ironic, is at the mental hospital, Ed Gein made furniture.

[sstray72]

Wow, I just read this whole thread, and you guys are hilarious with some of the stuff you come up with!

I don't remember being scared of many movies as a child. I remember being scared of Ghostbusters, especially the part when the ghosts are released and that weird song came on. Also, a funny one that scared me was in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure," when he was riding in the truck with Large Marge and she was telling her story and she said "it looked like THIS" and she turned and her face opened up and her eyeballs popped out and screamed, it scared the crap out of me.

Nowadays, movies make me laugh more than scare me. One movie that I was highly impressed with in it's creepy suspense is "Frailty." Has anyone seen that movie?

[VersesBatman]

No, but i read something funny about Leather Face. This guy said he actually did the world a favor by killing stupid teens so that they won't make more of their kind.

I had to laugh at that.

[smallvillefanforlife]

he really sad that

[VersesBatman]

Yes! He said it's kind of like the circle of life.

[smallvillefanforlife]

eww thats kind of creepy its like he doesnt care that people die

[VersesBatman]

I don't think he was serious. He just had this weird way of looking at things.

[smallvillefanforlife]

oh ok i was thinking of this guy that was happy people were dead

[VersesBatman]

If you think about it, the teens in these slasher movies usually are stupid. Someone tells them "This place is evil!" and they still go in.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i know "oh lets go there its not going to happen to us that happened years ago" 20 minutes later into the movie they're funning and they die they not ever going to learn

[VersesBatman]

"Oh look, this house has a creepy guy in it. Oh well, let's ask if we can use his phone."

[smallvillefanforlife]

:lol: " hey lets go swimming in a lake where people have died hundreds of times theres nothing in there"

[VersesBatman]

:lol: "Let's go skinny dipping at night alone in the ocean"

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah " come on lets go upstairs even though we just heard a noise it was probably just the wind or the cat"

Ghostbusters?

First time I saw it, the terror dogs freaked me out, especially when they get Louis in Central park...but then the movie became a favorite and the scare was over...YAY!

Frailty huh?

Good...didnt do it for me that much tho...

[VersesBatman]

He was very cute! That's why it looked scary when he caught on fire.

[The Satyr Icon]

I saw a movie when I was younger...about a sea turtle with initials carved into its shell and glowy eyes....for like 25 + years I had that haunting memory...but I forgot the name of the flick...
then after dinner, My special friend mentioned she saw the same movie....I never met anyone that had seen it...so the next day she found it....The Bermuda Depths!

That movie traumatized me...by making Me think about it for over 25 years!

The Satyr Icon

[sstray72]

One of my female friends said that she was scared to death of a movie where giant bunnies were killing people. I thought she was out of her mind until I found out that the movie was real. It's called "Night of the Lepus." I saw it, and it's hilariously aweful.

[VersesBatman]

Who made it?

[sstray72]

I have no idea who made it, I just know that DeForest "Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor" Kelly is in it, and it's B-movie aweful-tastic. Hard to find too.

Here's a synopsis I googled...
http://www.geocities.com/tyrannorabbit/nightlepus.html

[VersesBatman]

That looks bad! I saw this one movie where these giant grasshoppers invaded the city.

:eek: Ooooh..for some reason my mom let me and my sister watch "killer clowns from outer space" like every day! And I used to watch "It" all the time too because I had a crush on Jonathan Brandis..AND I remember that 'Clown Doll' scene from Poltergeist.

Needless to say i'm horrified of clowns. I remember having this Clown doll on a swing hanging above my bed when I was like 8 and I was always terrified it was going to swing. :eek:

[VersesBatman]

Ew, scary!

[Dolly]

There was a movie when I was little about this mental hospital and there were these evil dolls that attacked people and stuff. I dont know the name of the movie or anything, but I remember this scene when this chopped arm crawled all the way to where this guy was at and killed him with the help of the 'evil' toys.
It was 20 years ago or so...never heard anyone mention the movie and haven't been able to find it....
But that scared the crap out of me.....

[VersesBatman]

Was it The Puppet master?

[smallvillefanforlife]

is that that movie with the house and all the puppets

[VersesBatman]

I think so.

[smallvillefanforlife]

cause i remember this movie where someones car broke down and they had to go to this houde and they had like hundreds of puppets all over

[Dolly]

Originally posted by VersesBatman

If it were Puppet Master....*sighs*....YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY VB!!!!

Any idea if there was such a scene?

*waits patiently*

[VersesBatman]

Try looking it up on amazon.com. It give a discription of the movie.

[Dolly]

I think it might be it....thanks! :D

[VersesBatman]

I want to see the movies Rosemary's baby and The Omen. Those sound good.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i dont think ive seen those but rosemary's baby sounds good

[Dolly]

Rosemary's baby is actually a very good movie. Looking back some of the 'special effects' weren't that special but the whole idea behind the movie is haunting and very well done. The score is fantastic, truly terrifying, making this one a wonderful classic to enjoy.

Scariest thing in the movie: the neighbors....*screams*

[VersesBatman]

Originally posted by smallvillefanforlife

RoseMary's baby is about a women who gives birth to the child of Satan and The Omen is about a couple who adopt a boy who is the child of satan.

Stephen King's The Stand

Randal Flagg scared the ... out of me

[Himerley]

When I was like 6 or 7 I watched Mrs.DoubtFire...After that I had nightmares about it and was scared of that movie till I was like 12. :confused: I guess it was the part when they were getting him a new face and it was all waxy :(

[VersesBatman]

It did look kind of creepy.

[Spiked]

The Exorcist. Will never watch that movie again. Can't even look at the cover of the movie.

And I Know What You Did Last Summer. That was my first scary movie. I was like 10? Had nightmares for months.

[VersesBatman]

I heard the rereleased version of Exorcist has a scary scene put back in.

Have you ever read the book? It's far more creepy and terrifying.

[Shadowknight]

Anything with little children/toys/dolls who kill people used to scare me when I was little. Now i watch those movies and I laugh so incredibly hard at the lousy speacial effects one word "Childs Play" Scared the crap out of me when i was little. Now i just laugh my head off.

No movies really scare me anymore. "It" is by far, the funniest horror ever I have ever seen "Dont you want a baloon?" priceless:rotfl:

[VersesBatman]

Some lines are kind of funny. Like when carrie's mom yells "They're gonna laugh at you Carrie!" or, "I can see your dirty pillows."

[UDStyle]

After watching the Ring I couldn't stand to see a TV with static on it, I'd flip out everytime

[yeshuamyking7]

I don't know about traumatized for life, but I had a little trouble getting the image out of my mind after I watched the scene in Hannibal where Anthony Hopkins is cutting up Ray Liotta's brain while he's still alive, and then he fries up a piece and serves it to him. Oouughhhh ... gross.

[enamored]

For me it was "Carrie"--the original version with Sissy Spacek, and it was not really because of the movie. I went with someone who had already seen the movie and (SPOILER ALERT for anyone who hasn't seen it) when the girl is at the burnt out hole in the ground where Carrie's house used to be and is placing the flowers down, that person I went with grabbed my arm at the same time Carrie's hand comes out of the ground to grab the girls. I think I must have jumped 3 feet out of my seat screaming. It's no wonder I don't like scary movies--although I've read pretty much all of Stephen King's books.

[amberdawn]

"The Exorcist" *shivers*

[Lexgirl33]

The blob :lol: was that a movie?

[NdN_aPoLLo]

I used to be scared of Nuclear Man when I was a kid... :( for the longest time, I woudln't watch that Quest for Peace because of that...

oh and Children of the Corn... traumatized me as a child.

[angelfire east]

E.T It scared me when I was young and I'm still creepied out him

[suave_man]

The Wizard of Oz scared the crap out of me. That witch was scary and green! Man, I had nightmares about that witch!

My mom told me that happened to me but I was to young to remember.

Ahem. Anywho, I saw one of the Superman films when I was really little, the one with the huge robot computer thingo. It made that woman into a robot and that completely petrified me, I've had an irrational fear of robots ever since. Last month I watched War of the Worlds but couldn't finish it because of the horrible robotic thumping noises the aliens made. *Shivers*

(I know, bad joke lol)

I have a few movies that scared me to death. Jaws was the first. I couldn't go near any water. I was on the swim team at the time. And everytime we'd have practice at some point one of my goofy friends would grab my leg and pull me under:( (I know, what nice friends I had!) But on the bright side I won lots of races that year because I couldn't wait to get out of the water!

I was also really freaked out by Children of the Corn and Halloween.

[Happy Random]

The Tuskan Raiders on Star Wars used to scare me. Also Darth Vader. I mean who breathes like that???? :confused:

But the scariest movie that I ever saw was this one that was on like HBO or something called 'The Triangle'. It's about these people who get stuck in the Bermuda Triangle. I was only like 8 at the time, and it scared the freakin' bejeebas out of me. I seriously was up until 1:00 a.m. I was so freakin' scared....

My mom says that when I was little (like 2 or 3), we went to this RC Willey and they had Jurassic Park showing. So I sat and watched it and it was at the part where the T-Rex chases them in the car. So of course, it scared me and I refused to leave the store because I thought a giant dinosaur was waiting outside and was gonna eat us. It doesn't scare me at all now, but back then I was traumatized. :D

UD, you're crazy! LOL. I change my answer to Hostel. I don't know why that movie freaked me out so much. I guess any scene where kids are trying to kill you (and are successful) spooks me.

[atrufan14]

probably Red Dragon, I didn't actually know what it was about before I watched it (don't ask why :confused: )so when it turned out to be hannibal, I was kinda freaked out lol. That thing about the eyes eww ...

[redraven]

Hostel. I keep thinking my achillies (sp?) tendon will tear like Josh's did in the movie. Ack!

[chlex_44]

When i was a child and my dad was watching this horror movie, and this guy got roasted alive in a sauna. From this day I am terrified to go near one!

And of course after watching the remake of TCM. I couldn't sleep for a couple weeks fearful that Leatherface was lurking in the shadows.

[FallenStar]

You're gonna laugh, but "Independence day" scared the hell out of me. OK, I was like 6 when i saw it, but I was crazy for weeks!

(again, your gonna laugh)"Cube Zero" movies also scared the hell out of me. I was a lot younger when I saw it (emotionally if not physically) and i freaked out when the people die and stuff, and the lobotomy on the dude and him losing his mind still creeps me out like hell.

[zanos]

As a child I was traumatized by the scene in the Excorcist where Linda Blair is bouncing back and forward on the bed. I watched it as I was flipping thru the channels. Of course I later watched the Excorcist as a teen and thought the film was a joke in terms of it's scare factor.

[muffinpeddler]

One of my Best friends, Grace, saw E.T. when she was 5. She literally had nightmares for a week! She screams at the sight of the little guy! It's the strangest thing. When we point out he's a good guy, she claims he's just tricking everyone!

[Tomsgurl88]

The whole concept of When a Stranger Calls scares me, i mean i don't know what i would do if i was babysitting and someone asked me if i checked the children. And if you think about it to unlike alot of other horror movies, this could very well happen.

[Lightning Flash]

The Exorcist. Perhaps the scariest movie of all time.

[rae19780625]

Poltergeist used to scare me... the part where he's looking for the clown underneath the bed... *shudders* I think that beats out my Dukes Of Hazzard and Hostel movies I listed before as scaring the heck out of me-- one was due to the acting the other for the creepy things they showed in that movie...ugh...

I remember the clowns shoot popcorn at people or something like that, and they also keep people in cotton candy cocoons.

Very wierd movie.

[sweetnemisis]

There are a few things in this world I don't really care for and clowns are one of them! I saw part of that "CLowns from outer space" movie, it sorta creeped me out, maybe because of how cheesy it was. Don't know the ending of it tho!

[Manuela]

Talking about clowns...I loved IT when I was a child...I think it even made me laugh...but I watched it once when i was eleven after years when i haven't watched it and I was terrified!!!!!

[sari_chem]

An American Werewolf in London (1981).

I watched this when I was a kid. Back then, I was pretty tough when it came to scary movies. I practically grew up on the Friday 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

...but this werewolf movie...totally creeped me out. I don't know why.

[Backward Galaxy]

Star Wars: Episode III... because it took something sacred from my childhood and twisted it into something vile, revolting, awful, hideous, stupid, ridiculous......... etc... etc... etc...

It is, to this day, the only film that has ever hurt me to watch. So disappointing. Why, George? WHY?!

[Yuui]

Well, after a certain age, I became desensitized (eef yuo wheel) to graphic images.

However, as a kid, "Child's Play" haunted me, as did...

..."Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory" (the original, if you're skimming posts).

Frightening little buggers, those Oompa Loompas were, and it didn't help that Gene Wilder portrayed Wonka very "serial killer"-esque.

Uuuuh, currently? I suppose I'll revert to the graphic violence route, and say, "Audition."

If you haven't seen Audition...

Well, let's just say it's for the better.

omeomi

[I_love_kent]

I watched independance day when I was little.I had many nightmares of it.I watched it again recently,but it isn't scary now.I don't know it was probably cause I was little.

That's about the only film I've seen that's really scared the crap outa me.

[LusciousLois]

"Land of the Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead". Both creep me out everytime I watch them, but I can't stop.

[ClLaLeChFAN01]

Childs play movies. I honestly hate those kind of dolls after seeing the first movie.

[CB2006]

After I saw "Jurassic Park" for the first time, I dreamt there were dinosaurs in my garden and a big T-Rex poked his head in my bedroom window. "Jeepers Creepers" gross, actually more stupid than groos. My sister saw the movie "The Day After" a long time ago and said it was freaky.

[RedDwarfette]

I'll have to go with 'It', which I saw when I was eight. Now I'm older obviously it's laughable, 'cause I love Tim Curry. But his voice in that movie... :: shudders :: Plus, the clown factor :D

[boywithbluehanger]

ok dont laugh but i was terrified at the big white dog-like thing in Neverending Story

[SwedishSuperhero]

Hey don´t worry, I saw the trailer for the sequel and got scared of the stone man and that bubbling clay creature. If think there was one, but I haven´t seen it for a long time.

[Rosa76]

When I was little I was scared of alot of scary movies . :eek: One movie I couldn't watch all of it (since it was real )was "Faces of Death". Now I can watch some movies and not get scared or grossed out (Hostel,SawII) and get scared of others(The Ring,The Grudge). :o I guess certain things just freak me out . :rolleyes:

[LusciousLois]

Yes. Faces of Death was hella gross! I saw that when I was little (without my parents knowing, of course)and that is not the kinda movie a kid should see. The part with the monkey brains is just plain AWFUL. Poor monkey. :(

[Dark Knight23]

I'm going to get laughed at when I say this movie, but ET scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.

[Rosa76]

" ET " scared me too when I was little .:o I was most frightened when ET popped out of the bushes . (when Elliot met ET for the first time )I was also terrified of "Dolls","Poltergiest ", &"Raiders Of The Lost Ark ". I was even scared of Large Marge from "PeeWee's Big Adventure " .:o

[CLOISFAN101]

the rape scene...freaked me out soooo bad!

and Ghost Ship

[Dyanara]

Candyman-saw it when i was 7 and ran out of the theatre. Couldnt look in a mirror in the dark for a decade
6th Sense-ran out of that one when the boy turned and his head was blown off
The made for TV movie about Anne Frank that came out a few years ago. I dont remember its title, but that movie affected me for days and even today I can remember the dying Anne Frank holding her dead sister and looking up into the sky then the screen going white and the movie jumps to her father a few months later getting off a train and you know she's dead. That and the epilogue at the end where they tell you where/how the others who were hiding with Anne died was so sad. I want to throw up now just thinking about it and I havent seen it like in 6years.

Okay, question, who the hell wasn't freaked out by that thing? Or the turtle that talked in third person, kinda... does it count because he kept saying "we"?

And damn, I was going to sing Jeepers Creepers for Gloria, but krpto beat me to it :rotfl:

Hmmm... I don't know... I think I've answered here before... or somewhere about this... sometimes people get mad thinking that some aren't being honest about what movies scare them/traumatize them because people will put E.T., The Care Bears Movie, Dukes Of Hazzard (raises hand at this one) ... but I think that bad acting or movies about talking bears and big headed aliens could be scary... terrifying even..... especially the first thing I mentioned... some were even afraid of Gigli... I was too chicken to even attempt to watch it :eek:

It was the early Twilight Zone & Outer Limits that made me uneasy around clowns, and dolls that move.

I have avoided the Chucky movies cause just the comercials make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Sounds wierd that a 49 year old man would confess that. :p

Labyrinth freaked me out as a child.

So did parts of The Never-ending Story.

But I still loved those movies even though to this day they creep me out.

The only movie to scar me now that I'm in my 20's is HOSTEL. I didn't like the movie in the way I did after seeing SAW. I just felt dirty and disturbed after watching it.

PET CEMETARY..... I STILL cant touch a gray cat whose fur looks velvety. Cant even be comfortable in the same room as one.

I never thought about that. *chuckles*

Umm...let's see. Hostel all the way. I usually can take scary movies but, that one was just too much.

[pierreismylove]

Dumbo.I mean,he had so much very bad luck.Dead mom,big ears,getting drunk with a mouse.So sad.

A Christmas Story.

When I saw Ralphie get pushed/kicked down the slide by Santa Claus, I was freaked out. I was just a kid, but I never recovered. :lol:

[kidkarmina]

i hate to say this but when i saw 'salem's lot', that scared the hell out of me.

of course, i was only 11 yrs old and i wasn't supposed to watch those kind of movies. i guess that's what i get for not listening to my parents.

i've never watched that movie again until recently. it's still scares me but not as much as it did before.

[STFanatic]

I went to see this movie when it first came to our small town:
Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058694/
I was only seven years old.
Note that I grew up on a farm and the scariest things I had seen before were things like "The Blob", TV's Dark Shadows.
It freaked the holy snot outta me.

Alot of people have said that about Hostel, personally I don't see that.
I have never been "effected" by slasher/gore type movies.
I guess serving in the front lines will do that to you, but even before that, not so much.
My wife says its because of all my years in the Martial Arts, I think its because of the human element, doesn't "intimidate" me at all.
Personally, at this stage, it seems that most horror movies are just gore movies, haven't had a "cold sweat" watching since I can remember.

[STFanatic]

Well, no movie has effected me "for life".
I was thinking along the lines of "really scared me".

There have been events that have effected me for life, but that is another story.

Okay, question, who the hell wasn't freaked out by that thing? Or the turtle that talked in third person, kinda... does it count because he kept saying "we"?


:rotfl: I wasn't freaked out by Falcor! Maybe because its one of my favorite movies :lol: hes just a uhhh big white friendly drangon :lol: Okay I admit just listening to him and not watching will freak you out.

[Muse25]

The movie that traumized me for life was the Exorcist. I'm shuddering now even thinking about it.

[Rachel B]

The sixth sense freaked me out. I still can't watch that movie.

[Acejournalist82]

I would have to say the Exorcist. Even though it was made in the seveties, I to this day cannot stand the scene where the girl goes down the stairs or when she carves "Help Me" Backwards in her stomach.

Poltergeist did it for me, too, but in a different way. To this day I can't sit in front of a TV that plays that loud fuzzy picture and sound. Luckily most modern TV's don't do that anymore.

[Rosa76]

Poltergeist scared me when I was a kid ( I would have nightmares that giant skulls was busting out of the ground .)
Every time I watched Arachnaphobia I used to have nightmares that my house was full of tranchalas while there was a tornado outside !(What do I do ?)
Another movie that freaked me out was Dolls .
Sorry for any misspellings :\

My mother was traumatized for life by that. :lol: She and her cousin decided to watch it when their family wasn't home, but they got really scared, and then my mom's brother tapped on the window and she was never the same. She still can't watch that movie. :lol:

[STFanatic]

When The Excorcist first came out, I went to see it in the theater, I had a blast and laughed through some of the "scarey" parts, in one rather icky scene I turned to a friend and said "I wonder if they sell Chilidogs here?" and the person in front of me tossed her cookies :lol:

Well... there was the film of my wedding, my Monst... err.. Mother-in-law was in it, and that is pretty darn scarey!! :p

Lol yeah me too, i remember seeing that movie when i was a kid. I still sometimes think taranchula's are gonna be in my basement and attack me..

Scarred for life i tell you! :rotfl:

[Chlarkerlover]

I don't think I've seen anything that's scarred me for "life" but the ring really creepied me out, I can hardly stand to look at my tv at night now.

And there's this movie coming out. I can barely write it's name. It's......It's.........*yelps* Nancy Drew!!! *hides*

(when I was little a bunch of Nancy Drewbooks fell on me, and I can't go near the part of the library ever sence)

When Arachnophobia came out, my we went to drive in (anyone remember those?), my wife did a spider walk across her son's (my stepson) sholder and he screamed and jumped out of the car :lol:
(He was around 11 years old at the time)

Way back in the early sixties, I was somewhere around 5 years old or so, there was an episode of "Outer Limits" or maybe "Twilight Zone".
In one episode there were some dolls that come to life and start killing folks.
The dolls had gnashing teeth and had knives doing a stabbing motion, some were biting in a ala "Night Of The Living Dead" and had blood all over them. (Black & White of course) To this day when I see a moving doll (like Chucky), I get all creeped out.
There was another one around the same time about a clown, those creep me out too.

[Austin 3:16]

Arachnophobia scared the bejeezus outta me. I hate spiders and I could sit through it the first time but the second time, nightmares galore.

Never really was scared of Freddy but Jason scared the living daylights out of me. I just remember the scene in Jason Takes Manhattan where he kicks the gang's boombox then lifts his mask up at them and they run away. As a kid, I was like "Uh what?!?" Nowadays I think the scene is hilarious and laugh everytime.

[Ankhara]

:lol: For me it was more like 'scared me to death' than 'traumatized me for life'. The exorcist. The scene with the crucifix, the way the girl walks down the stairs and when there are a series of 'blackouts' inside the house and you can see the face of a demon in the darkness. Pretty creepy!! :eek:

[Austin 3:16]

Yup that part definitely scared the living tar outta me too. Especially right after the scene where Regan spiderwalks down the stairs. I think some liquid runs down her face and I felt my heart beating REAL fast lol!

The first time I saw the original Friday The 13th the ending made me jump. I was like "Oh nice calm lake and WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?"

I do have to admit the trailer for A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors scares me every time. It's so nice with the "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You" music playing as a camera goes around the house. When it gets to the very end, all of a sudden Freddy's glove smashes through the roof of the house with a huge boom noise. Gets me every. Single. Time!

[LuthorKent90]

Interview with a vampire. I just don't get the love for that movie or Lestat. The whole thing was creepy o_0

[Austin 3:16]

The Evil Dead kinda made me do a doubletake. I was shocked at what exactly happened in that flick.

[Backward Galaxy]

Sex and the City. I try not to dwell on it, but the fact that a movie like that is entertaining to a significant segment of the American population put a big dent in my faith in humanity.

[smallvilleloislane]

Immortal. It was pretty brutal and bloody

[Degobunny]

Interview with the Vampire, I was scared there was a vampire in closet for weeks.
Paranormal Activity...I think I watched it a day or 2 before I saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose​ and well it kinda just slowly got to me after that.

as far as just plain awful movies...I was not a fan of the Red Riding Hood movie with Amanda Seyfried.

[Austin 3:16]

I can't remember if I posted it, but The Devil's Advocate messed me up for life lol! That movie was nasty in some places!
