Movies that scared me as a kid...
Phantasm scared the **** out of me!! I had nightmares for WEEKS the first time I saw it. That creepy azz Tall Man still spooks me lol.
Ghost Story also scared the crap out of me. I know, I know, a bunch of really, really old men sitting around telling ghost stories...woman seeking vengeance haunting them in different forms...probably shouldn't be scary. I was young when I watched it though and it terrified me.
And let's not forget It and that oh-so-scary Pennywise the clown. It was years before I could watch it all the way through. I think I read the book and then decided to brave the movie. I remember watching the first hour when I was a kid and that was all I could handle.

yeah i think you will like it pyro. Its got a decent story as well with twist at the end. Its nothing like saw or halloween or anything like those. Its in french, subtitled english. Its one of those movies that will mess up your brain just for a while until you remind yourself its not real and only a movie...you said your not easily shocked anymore but this movie isnt shocking its just really well done and i think you definately should get it.
Also try a zombie slashing, decapitating, leg flying no hold bar movie called dead snow - its about a group of norweigian medical students who go up the mountains to a cabin for a gettaway and encounter some neo natzi zombies who have one thing in mind - ripping them apart and eating them - its the gorriest, funniest zombie film ive ever seen apart from Brain dead which is another must see for you. im looking forward to hearing how you like them. Just trust my judgement. Ill put up some covers for you pyro. I think you will absolutely love brain dead by peter jackson which is filmed in new zealand - that is absolutely hilarious and i would be really surprised if youve seen anything like it coz i hadnt seen anything close to it at all.

Oneyed.. that dvd cover to "Martyrs" is wicked. But the description is "Hostel" like and the torture flick genre is kind of played out for me. Though this one sounds like revenge which kind of intriguing.
Pryo.. I haven't seen "Dolls" in years, but remember it being a great movie.
pettyfan.. the backstory on "Magic".. my parents were out of town and I talked my older brother into renting it for us to watch that night. I definitely slept with the light on that night. I need to watch it again.. looking back.. wild that Anthony Hopkins starred in it.
Bamersy.. I really want to watch "Kolobos" again now that you mentioned it. This movie would definitely make you think twice before signing up for a reality show. ha
Since we are discussing newer movies.. what about the unrated version of "The Descent"?

Yes! I forgot about this one.... scared the crap out of me as a kid. Another one I just remembered too - Foul Play. I laugh at it now and can't believe that these scared me.

I thought Foul Play was great. "And I'm Ready To Take A Chance Again, Ready to put my love on the line with you."

I have seen Brain Dead Willy...and being that I agree with you about that film being very good..I will add the other 2 you mentioned on my "to watch" list. because I haven't seen those other 2 yet. I'm a little put off by the cover art to "Dead Snow". It looks to be one of those trite and overdone Blood & Guts "Hostel" type movies that have been done to death at this point. And quite frankly, they bore me. But I'll probably go ahead and check it out anyway just for curiosity sake.
That Martyrs movie looks to be something a little more up my alley though. I will definetly be giving that one a viewing. And of course I'll report back my reviews on both films after watching them.

plus I can't handle watching people move in unnatural ways-bent backwards etc. Totally freaks me out!
Avoid Flashdance then.
I certainly didn't enjoy Mr Barlow or the wandering undead turning up at your window in Salem's Lot.
In the 80s I wanted to join The Ghostbusters (as you do) so was into the occult from an academic viewpoint. Even asked the librarian to order me a copy of Tobin's Spirit Guide.
Rosemary's Baby is quite out there, not just because its directed by that corrupt little deviant Roman Polanski. But primarily because it shatters the myth that old people can't be evil in movies. Poor Mia Farrow, so hard to find an apartment in the first place and when she does its infested by Satanists!

There's nothing else that comes close.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face=""Century Gothic", Verdana, Arial">Have to agree 100% on that, it was the first scary movie I ever saw, I didn't sleep properly for weeks afterwards.
Despite making me s**t scared it got me into scary movies, used to stay up at night watching films on a little 12" black/white tv as a kid, even Amityville was scary on a black/white tv...
As an adult the only films that have given me a taste of what Poltergeist did to me as a kid was Ring and Ring 2. Saw "Ring" (original) on tv late at night and I was so creeped out I had to stay awake all night until it got light outside before I felt safe enough to get some sleep! a week later and "Ring 2" creeped me out almost as much.
Have to say though that the remakes of horror movies, like Amityville and the Japanese ones into Hollywood ones just don't have the impact of the originals, even when they used the same director for the Hollywood version.
Anyone on the hunt for some recent decent horror (ie the past 10 years or so) should check out "[Rec]", the original Spanish 2007 version because the 2008 "Quarrantine" is rubbish in comparison. And on the foreign horror streak; Ring, Ring 2, The Grudge, Dark Water, The Eye, Audition.

Wizard .. if you thought "The Ring" was scary.. I highly recommend that you trackdown the original "Ringu" that inspired it.
I enjoyed "The Ring" .. when the girl climbed out of that tv .. Awesome!! One of those Bamersy "when people move in unnatural ways" moments!

yeah i have this one - done like the blair witch POV camera stuff - it was well done and its ok.

It has elements of revenge, elements of hostel but has just that-elements. It wont bore you and is unpredictable to a degree. It frightened the hell out of me and caused me a lot of uneasiness afterwards. I watched it on my own one night not knowing a thing about it other than the title and i think thats often the best way - no expectations, no predictions. I think the fact you need to follow subtitles adds to the overall effect. i saw the decent and didnt really find it that scary, just a little unique and new.

This is another one I can add to the list of movies that freaked me out as a kid. Infamous for being the first movie Brooke Shields was in, this movie ranks up there with such films as "The Shining" and "The Omen" on the creepy meter.

80'sRocked.. "Foul Play" was hilarious! Guess not for little 80'sRocked though. I do see how it could seem scary especially for a kid.
My fav teaming of Chevy Chase & Goldie Hawn will actuallt always be "Seems Like Old Times".
btw, Dudley Moore stole scenes with is wicked funny stuff in "Foul Play"..

Totally! Didn't help that we have a huge TV in the bedroom-was almost as bad as when I had my Bloody Mary/mirror fears! Ringu was just as good if not better.
The Ring had some scary moments-like getting the fly off the screen, and the warped faces of the scared to death people. The hokey part was who exactly was making those phone calls? Did creepy well girl have a cell and a GPS on the video tape??

"Dolls" was pretty scary to me as a kid also. My good friend's mom used to collect old china dolls and actually had a whole bedroom filled to the brim with them. The first time I saw the movie was at that girl's house and we were too afraid to go upstairs because of her Mom's doll collection. Whenever I went to her house after that, her older brother would tease us by putting the dolls next to us when we were sleeping and leave us scary notes that were supposedly written by the the dolls just to freak us out....The movie doesn't scare me anymore, but the music in it still kinda creeps me out.

It might sound stupid but for me it was the peanut butter solution. I like the fact that most people me included thought this movie may have just been a dream. If you have never seen this movie google it.
