What film scared you the most as a kid?

[monkai666]

I just saw a review of Return to Oz (http://cinemassacre.com/Home_page/frameset.html) and I forgot how many things scared me in that film, especially the bit where Dorothy had to get the potion from the cupboard with the head in it. And the wheelers! Gives me chills to this day. As a kid I also never liked the ghost in the library from Ghostbusters.

Did any films make you scared as a kid?

I watched The Shining when i was about 9, and it scared the hell out of me. It was the twins that did it. It's actually my favourite movie of all time now, probably because no other film iv'e seen has had the same shock value. Apart from Visitor Q.....

Same here, I don't think any other film has caught the atmosphere of it. The silence was creepy and the scene in the maze was weird. You never knew if he was catching up to them or not and when he froze clutching the axe his eyes terrified me. The closest film I've seen to living up to the book.

I remember being freaked out by the bit in the Evil Dead where the main guy starts laughing with everything in the room, I can't remember which one it's from though. Throughout the whole film he's fighting back and then suddenly goes a bit nuts. Something about his face too, that smile sticks with me to this day.
