An arguement between the Hubby and myself...he wanted to buy the Wizard Of Oz for the LoudOne but i recall, as a child, being scared to death when i saw the flying monkey scene (apologies to GreedyTop).

So i am wondering what movie(s) had you shaking in your boots?

None of them scare me any more, but I have to admit that Poltergeist and the Omen movies did the trick for me as a teenager (who shouldnt have been watching such films tut tut). Nowadays I just think horror movies are silly.

The flying monkeys are brilliant btw - the whole film is. 1938/9 it was made - its quite simply an amazing piece of work for its time and remains amazing today I think. But not scary!

Hmmm. If there were supernatural bogies in it, it scared me then. It probably still does. ~smiles and blushes~ i also really disliked Dumbo, but that was because of the whole pink elephant scene. It was a major turn off to me as a child.

I don't remember being scared of any of the kid's movies.....I have to agree with Lady E, the Wizard of Oz was way ahead of it's time, and I still love it today.

I always watched the scary B movies on Saturday mornings.....I can still remember being terrified after watching the movie called the Beast with 5 Fingers.....it was about this guy that was murdered, and his hand was amputated at the time of his death, and it crawled around getting revenge on all the people that wronged it's owner.

The one that really traumatized me though for hte longest time was Old Yeller........either reading the story, or seeing the movie......when the inevitable ending came around, I'd just sob and sob.......if I was reading the book, I'd just stop reading right before the ending.....but then go back to it, and sit there bawling like a baby.

Anything on Chiller Theater. Many from western Pennsylvania can probably relate to this as a right-of-passage. I'm sure that by today's standards it was nothing scary. But when you are young and allowed to stay up late to watch scary movies, it is a wonderful thing and it provided some great entertainment.

My parents were wise about not exposing the sensibilities of young children to horror movies. So perhaps this is why I never had a traumatic experience over them; I was already a bit more developed, psychologically, by the time I watched some.

However, there is still plenty to find disturbing and grotesque. And I do agree with you, those flying monkeys are very disturbing. Somehow, I wasn't actually scared by the Wizard of Oz, I just found it very grotesque, in general. Not nearly as horrifying as, say, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which I caught on television when I was in about first grade. It was not some poor guy's horrible birth defects, but to discover that people actually act that way, - this was disturbing material.

They are the horrors that smack of real life that give me nightmares. Mommie Dearest gave me nightmares, actually.

A movie about a young woman going insane, which moves in and out of her point of view, I watched Roman Polanski's Repulsion, late at night at a rather difficult point in my life, and maybe that is why I was so susceptible to it. Not "scared," but again, deeply disturbing. For a very long time, I couldn't hear flies buzzing without the realm of that movie flushing to mind.

There is a scene in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (anybody else see that? Anybody?), in which the main character, freaked out already, rushes home in the middle of the day, up to her nice sunny bedroom, and suddenly a man appears in her room. That moment makes my heart clench, as if I'd discovered someone suddenly like that, myself.

Our "Chiller Theater" was called "Saturday Monster Movie Matinee", and I LOVED it! All those B-grade movies were so campy and terrifying at the same time......I still love to watch them on late night TV! My mom used to wait til we were engrossed in them and walk thru the living room and then yell "BAAAAHHHH!!!!" and watch us jump and yell.....of course, sometimes, she'd get watching them and we could return the favor....wasn't so funny, then!

Bambi (when Bambi's mum gets killed: it traumatised the hell out of me and gave me an abandonment complex), Snow White (the scene with the apple and the witch: my dad had to rush me out of the cinema, I was screaming so much) and a scene in Black Beauty where the ghost of a monk appears at the window of the little girl. To this day, I still have to sleep with the duvet over my face because of that fucking ghost.

greetings to all,

I don't remember being scared by a single movie as a child, though, as an adult, the third Saw movie scared the life out of me. I had nightmares about it for almost a month!.

I think the Saw movies have turned into a phobia (if that is what you would call it) for me. Every October, Master tells me that I will go and see the next one, and I respond with silent panic, before trying to beg my way out of it. I even panic when he suggests watching them at home.

well wishes,

(in reply to soul2share)

hmmm - i have to come back later with an answer.

From seeing Food of the Gods (a campy 70s horror flick featuring giant rats, chickens and bugs) when i was 4 to the current stuff like Saw or The Devil's Rejects, i find horror movies quite entertaining to downright funny.

i'm going to see Saw V today.

As a child, Nightmare on Elm Street(the first - third). After that it just got stupid. Now, as an adult.....28 days/weeks later and Dawn of the Dead. 28 days/weeks later is soooooo fuckin scary I think because those fuckers can RUN!!! Dawn of the Dead, I dunno, but its still scares the hell outta Me. I will NOT watch those three movies alone or at night!!!!

But Greedy...the Blob was so much fun!!!! All pretty and sparkly, if I recall.....but then again...I'm slightly sleep deprived.....maybe it wasn't. Remember Slime? Came in a green garbage can...reminded me of the Blob big time!
