What Are Movies That Scared You As A Kid?

For me, it's:

James and the Giant Peach: His parents dying and his cruel aunts just terrified me.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: I remember almost dying of fear once I saw the ending.

Well, I saw Child's Play as a small child, so I'll go with that.

high school musical..

The Brave Little Toaster. The window AC unit was terrifying to me as a child. Anyone who has seen the movie knows what I'm talking about *hopefully*mohfrontline

Yep, I remember...

The Exorcist.ReaperPlaya

The Exorcist has never, at any point in time, scared me, I've always thought it was lame.

nightmare on elm street was pretty scary when i was 7

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.

Salo, or 120 days of Sodom. Still pretty disturbing to this day. :PJazz_Fan

Only one movie ever scared me when I was a kid.

No one will probably have heard of it, its called The Cellar

Heres the imdb for it The Cellar

It was about a kid who goes to live with his father and his step mom in the Nevada desert. The house they move into has a monster that lives in the cellar that was brought about by an indian curse. The main part that scared me was when the father is sick of the boy crying about a monster and acting like a baby so he locks the kid in the kitchen with the cellar door forced open. Kids screaming for help and the father is telling the kid off through the door, step mom is crying. Step mom busts the father over the head with a shotgun and runs into the room just as the monster is trying to attack the boy. Its a pretty freaky movie, least it was when I was 8.

I don't even know what the hell movie it was; I just know I shouldn't have been watching it. There was some satanic pretty boy who was murdering people in some of the most gruesome ways I've ever seen; I remember one scene where a guy is mowing his lawn and the pretty boy makes the ground swallow the guy up to his head and hands, then the lawn mower ran over him. Uhgugh. I was only four.

Childs Play, i had a My Buddy toy and i threw him in the closet after i saw the movie.

The Dark Crystal, when the skeksis used the crystal to drain the life energy out of a cute podling and turn him into a slave zombie, that scared me! :cry:

jeepers creepers scared me when i was 5 :x

It, Child's Play and Halloween freaked me out as a little kid.

This is pretty lame, but those old movies they made based off the "Goosebumps" books. I still remember one where they were like, trapped in this museum, and this evil knight was chasing after them....ah, that scarred my childhood.

I saw The Butterfly Effect when I was in 6th grade, some time around then, and years after that the scene where they burn the dog gave me nightmares. I thought it was like a horror movie back then. Many scenes frightened me, but I watched it when I got older and realized it's not scary at all. It's just a good movie. One of my favorites now.

Oddly enough I remember being haunted by the scene in Sophie's Choice where she gives up her daughter, some made for TV movie where a girl's legs are run over when the brake on a train car is released and a scene in that Chuck Norris POW flick where a soldier gets his brains blown out.

These things stuck with me through what retrospectively seem like long periods of my childhood, and even recollecting them now is kind of sickening.

Definitely a good movie (not horror), but for me it was horror movies like the Exorcist, and all those Jason/Freddy/Michael movies. I also remember this weird movie where there's a kid who has an eye on the palm of his hand that he stabs with a pen, and there are these little creatures that come at you and if you shoot them, they split into two smaller versions of themselves. Also I remember this scary series of movies with trolls who turn you into a green jelly and eat you.

Candyman use to give me nightmares.

When I was little I saw The Warriors at my aunt's house with the rest of the "big kids". I didn't understand most of it, and I don't remember necessarily being scared, but I do remember getting quite a thrill out of it. I didn't watch many adult-themed movies as a child, so that movie probably have been the scariest I had seen in my youth.

Ghostbusters, when I was like 5 mabye 6. The theme song (plus the ghosts) haunted my dreams for months. Now I twitch whenever I hear it on TV or someone says Ghostbusters and/or the theme song, my friends constantly make fun of me :cry:.

Also I was an impresionable kid so when I was 6 Isaw a documentry on the connecticut haunting thing, my older sisters told me this is where it happened. I had to sleep in my parent's room for about a year before I was given a lecture on that it didnt happen here and it never will.

i forgot about the creepy Arachnophobia

JERMINITIS

Indeed that one also,i totally forgot about it.

I was scared to even think about anyone even NAMED Chucky after this.

James and the Giant Peach was pretty disturbing, the robotic-like stop motion effects really disturbed me with the cruel story and odd looking figurines. Jumanji always scared me, and any slasher film scarred me for life. For some reason all of those slasher films left a permanent mental scar and now whenever I'm passing through the horror section at a movie store, I always have to turn away.

I loved that movie as a kid... likewise not sure if I want to watch it now... memories are great, but don't know if I'd still enjoy it...

The Poltergeist :P

It, The Sixth Sense, and Signs were quite scary back then.

When I was three I think.. I saw some sesame street movie where bigbird gets painted blue.. scared the hell out of me. Also the mary kate and ashley "you're invited" sleepover party scared me LOL.XilePrincess

OMG you mean "Follow That Bird"??? I think that's what it's called. I own that crazy movie! The bad guys chase after Big Bird when he runs away from his new family, after he runs away from Sesame Street. Oh jeez I'm lame.

The Wizard of Oz terrified me.

Child's Play 1, 2 and 3. I think there's a third... Anyway, that's why I don't own ant action figures.

It, I can never look at clowns the same way

Evil Dead and Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors. I was in 2nd grade when I saw those movies and they haunted my dreams for a long time
