Didn't you know that the setting for Jaws was off the coast of Long Island?

Thanks Sunshine! Yup, Fire in the Sky. Freaky. I'm getting cold chills just thinking about it...



Well-made picture. Bonus: Name the actor that appeared in this feature and was in a series that often dealt with aliens.

I don't know if anyone ever saw "the watcher in the woods"

It's a cheesy disney movie but it totally whacked me out. A few monthes ago it was on cable and I was like, "I can handle it, I'm 23 years old".

I can't handle it. That movie scares the piss out of me.

Exorcist.

Taking a 6th grade altar boy to see the Exorcist is the reason my older sister will surely go to hell.

Getting under my bed and shaking it while I was all freaked out is a reason she'll get a special corner>:(

Attack of the Killer Bees (or something like that...I was like 8 and scared of bees for years after)

Great White (a Jaws ripoff that was pulled from theaters after like a week because the Jaws folks sued)

The Exorcist

Amityville 2

Edited to add Invasion of the Body Snatchers after reading it in someone else's list. Man that movie freaked me out. I can still vividly see the final scene in my mind, despite not having seen that movie in 20 years or more.

The Shining. When I was 5 my baby-sitter let us watch it with her. I remember that for a long time I wouldn't use the bathroom unless I could keep an eye on the tub.

CHILDREN OF THE CORN!

Funny story: A fellow skydiver had a cutaway and another teammate followed the main down. He had to go into the cornfield to find it. Naturally it fell all the way to the ground so he couldn't just look for the bright colors on top of the corn. When he came back, I simply said "They want you to Malacai" He freaked out and said that that is what he thought about the whole time looking for the main.

The Wizard of Oz.
Something about those freaky flying monkeys would just get me every year. ..... actually met some flying monkeys, it's all good, but still...as a child...geesh!



Hands down Wizard of Oz- after that I never watched another horror movie. If that was a kids deal. Then I am a monkeys uncle. Never saw any of the horror movies listed here because of those monkeys.

About meeting flying moneys and it being all good, NOPE. Oz monkeys or skymonkeys both scare the hell outta me.

Probably Wizard of Oz. The witch was scary. That coffee lady's performance was so intense!:o
A lot of those other movies like the Shining, exorcist, etc. I didn't see until I was 12 or over, so it wasn't quite as scary.

The first horror movie I saw was on TV when I was 5. The Tarantula. Basic early 60s movie about a tarantula that is fed radioactive food & gets REALLY big & goes on a rampage.

My twin brother and I watched it, but we didn't understand the concept of horror movies. So we weren't scared, because we were on the Tarantula's side. My brother cried at the end of the movie when the people finally killed the giant Tarantula.

It was very sad.
:(;)

I'm surprised this one has not yet been mentioned; absolute great film, but scared the shit out of me...Silence of the Lambs.

Edited to add: I'm sure it scared Clay too, but for different reasons.;)

AND
It's "Amityville Horror". The setting was Amityville, Long Island.

Chris
With that said, Long Island is scary on land and water. (I never thought of it that way, the Hamptons always felt safe....no, after JAWS, I was scared in open water for 2 years./"First Neck" wasn't a rough neighborhood though:ph34r:)

Man, I never realized how many kids thought the Wizard of Oz was scary! I watched that every year as a kid and couldn't wait until I was old enough to get my own freakin' flying monkeys... Oh wait, does that make me the wicked witch??? :o>:( (And of course now I have it on video so I can watch it with Dark Side of the Moon ;-)

Ok, well now I have to admit I got a little bit scared in "Bambi" of all things... but I was really young... :(
