The only film i really dont like watching and that scares me is Steven King's IT, i get the creeps from it really bad

i'll definatly have nightmares just from that google image search, (having 3 mini baby bells probably wont help much! lol)

besides that, the only other thing to freak me out was watching The Grudge in the cinema, man that was spooky

if anyone's got some other super spookers, let me know, i enjoy watching them, and get amazed how images and sound can effect you so much!
 
My uncle made me watch Critters when I was about six.

I literally stayed up all night in fear for almost a year...I would sleep when my mum or dad was in the room with me in the evening.

Robocop did me in when I was a kid. The bit when the guy falls in acid then gets splattered across the car.

Only other time I remember being scared was Alien.

There's been no scary films in the last decade IMO.

Agree with you 100% on IT.

I was quite young when I first saw it and that was the most scared I have been watching any film. The only film that comes close would be Nightmare on Elm Street, tho again I was pretty young when I first watched it.

Nothing really scares me in the same way it did when I was younger, tho I assume that is the same for most people.
 
I saw Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, The toymaker, Children of the Corn, Poltergeist all when I was a youngun but they didn't come close to scaring me as much as Jurassic Park did :o
 
Jaws. Not so much the film itself, but the effect it had on me afterwards.

Since watching that film I simply cannot go swimming in the sea. No way, not a chance. Even in swimming pools I often get scared and paranoid about there being sharks in the water. Also to this very day I regularly have nightmares in which I am being attacked by sharks.

Gonna go with Jaws as well, to this day, underwater scenes in any movie just make me uncomfortable.
 
Saw the Candyman selection on tv during the wee hours of the morning severla years back during half term, didn't scare me then, but now whenever I walk down the road at night or anything, even through the house at night and have random thoughts on it i get really paranoid.

Seems weird, like someone is behind me.
 
The Legend Of Boggy Creek , I watched it when I was around eleven and it scared the hell out of me at night literally for a couple of years solid.

It's a documentary-film that's supposedly real about a Yeti -style beastie terrorising a small town in Arkansas, the bit that REALLY got to me was when it got in to a mobile home when there were a couple of girls in it already.. it proper gave me nightmares :(

I might have to try to get a copy of it again and confront my childhood fears..

I watched Poltergeist when I was younger and im one of those people that while alone I think of scary stuff for some reason, flashbacks of that film :(

But my opinion of horror's these days, you should really watch them in the cinema the scary bit is like x100worse, I watched The Ring in the cinema and it was like jump-a-minute, but on film its nothing special, or maybe im just sad :p
 
i refuse to watch poltergeist or the grudge, just because of the sounds

the voice coming from the TV in poltergeist and that groany/croaky noise the stupid little girl makes in the grudge

the actual films dont bother me just the sounds :(

Jaws for me as well. When I was young I had a bunk bed. Waking up every morning felt like waking up on a boat. I would climb down the ladder and run out of the room petrified that the shark would come out of the water and get me. Still to this day cannot cope with underwater scenes whether it be sharks, whales in some kind of nature program or submarines.:o
 
I remember the first film that gave me nightmares when I was a kid was Terminator. Me and my mate nicked it off his stepdad when we were kids and watched it whene we were supposed to be watching some disney film or something. Ended up giving me some weird nightmares about buring shoes or something,lol.

I have to agree with Randall Munroe on this one:

Only one film has ever given me nightmares and that was The Exorcist when it first came out but I was a born again at that time. No other film as come close and watching it now makes me laugh.

Same here. The bit you mention, the bit where he's getting shot up at the beginning, and the bit where the guy gets gunned down in the board room were all a bit much when I saw it aged 9. :(
 
Salem's Lot is the scariest film ever.

The floating kid scratching at the window is responsible for my phobia of uncurtained windows at night.

And the main vampire (Mr Barlow) had the scariest face of any film baddie.

The only other film that terrifies me is "Threads", but only when I start to think too much about the aftermath.
