Easily the OG exorcist with Linda Blair. That was scary AF.
Oh yeah. Good call. Those weird scenes that showed the devil coming out of the church. Creepy.John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness scared the out of me when I was a kidAlso Critters made me scared to go outside because we lived in the country and I thought they were everywhere!
Yah I member those.
What made them extra terrifying was serious adults telling kids that it was seriously going to happen
My boys got scared by Jaws - will not go into the water at the beach - such a pity since we live in Miami.
I didn't like The Omen - scared the living daylights out of me.
Fine citation. Billie Whitelaw as the nanny brings the film into sharp focus. It lags a bit till she comes aboard. Her scene in the hospital room with Remick. Christ-a-mighty.
Brings another scary scene to the fore:::When Karen Black [turns] & throws Oliver Reed out the upstairs window in "Burnt Offerings."
Leprechaun. Not even gonna lie, that lil er still terrifies me.
Coulda been all time---but, they tinged it with comedy to appease/appeal. Like "Chucky."
The Gate
Burnt Offerings scared me for some reason.
^^^Damn, that is scary...and there Reed's remembrance as a child of the chauffeur in "Burnt" as well...
Trilogy of Terror. The zuni doll was scary enough but Karen Black's face at the end of that movie is one of the scariest images I've seen.
I was barely a teenager when "Slither" came out. That one was kind of freaky. And I got to see the hot girl's nipple for a split second.
Omg I was just posting this:
Another childhood trauma courtesy of my dad lol
Lol, I remember that one.
That's a great shot @ 2:17The Gate
Burnt Offerings scared me for some reason.
I ran behind the couch and peeked out for this one, not a film per se:
That movie was so scary - add that to The Omens.
Being I was a kid in the 50's...
No love for The Fog yet?
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, how'd I forget that?...gonna have to marathon all the submissions in this thread--except for Avante's.No love for The Fog yet?
He
yeah. We've talked about this one before Cub. I mention this movie to people in real life and I don't think I've ever come across anyone who remembers it. My bed faced the door and I don't know how many nights I'd lie there and see that chauffeur push the coffin through it.
But I don't think I'd call this movie cheesy. Maybe a bit dated. But it's one of the superior takes on the haunted house genre. Great final scene with the photos.
Definitely not "cheesy." The kids reaction in the dream sequence is correct and fuels the scene. The production told him how to play it and the child nailed it there.
So, do think she throws him out that window, or, does he dive thru it as a like a suicide?
I think one problem with the film is that it has a television feel to it. It did back in '76 when the wife and I went.
