oh jeez saw Event Horizon in the theater, at night, and then had to drive home afterwards. was really jumpy for a few weeks.

Candyman, thought of a dark bathroom still scares me.

Not movie, but a show. The X-files. I've literally turned around in our dark corridor inside our flat after watching an episode.

Witness - I was about the same age as the kid in the movie. I'm still sketched out in Airport/train/bus station bathrooms.

But really just the commercials on TV.

Really showing my age here.

I used to watch old B-movie horror on Saturdays in the 70's.

This one, which is completely ridiculous, scared the hell out of me because of the disembodied alien hand crawling around attacking people.

I was too young to realize how stupid it was, and it just absolutely terrified me. The hand became the monster under the bed for the rest of my life.

I can't really remember why but I never wanted to watch Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer again after seeing it once. I just googled it and it could be the Ice-Queen that's in there that I didn't like but I'm not sure.

Jurassic Park (original) on the big screen.

Jeepers Creepers

I can still the remember the little jingle

I remember being scared during the Ewok movie (Caravan of courage) in particular the dog things chasing them and having them hide out inside a tree, and the giant really freaked me out as a kid

I remember fainting of the movie "Cats and dogs" 😅

Embarassingly, Tremors. I was too young to realize it was supposed to be a comedy, and spent most of the Summer I watched it worried about stepping off the pavement.

ET. I was way too young when I first watched it.

I watched my fair share of horror films - nightmare on elm street, child’s play, Halloween, Friday 13th. The film that really got under my skin was Flatliners. The idea of your past mistakes haunting you scared me stiff for some reason

When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don't love them.

The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max's dream...those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.

The Ring was a big one because my "friend" called and did the whole "seven days..." thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.

Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.

Hiroshima - 1995

Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland scared the shit out of me when I was young. Seeing mangled humans turned into cyborgs on that ship lost at sea was terrifying.

The Stephen King movie Silver Bullet. I have always really liked but been freaked out by werewolf movies and something about Everett McGills performance as the priest mixed with the usual stalking of the wolf really spooked me.

Haunting in Connecticut. I’m from Connecticut.

Body Snatchers (1993)

Came here to also say third scene of Trilogy Of Terror

Night of the living dead. My brother and I rented it when I was about 7 I think. Didn't make it more than 10 minutes into that movie and I was begging him to turn it off.

Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.

Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U
