    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (becuz they said it was based on a true story) & A Nightmare On Elm Street. Too this day I still can't see that red & black stripe sweater and not cringe.

    I hated Chuckie till I was about 12...

    And The Faculty, the scene where the boy looks out his window and see the teachers just standing there staring at him freaked me out as a kid cuz I had the same exact view when I looked out my window.

    growing up idk why but they used to always show Hellraiser II on TV like in the middle of the day on Saturdays.. like every damn Saturday. i don't even remember that it was edited much either. anyway for a movie on public TV on a Saturday that ? was disturbing as hell for a little dude.

    Child PLay- a Killer toy/Doll ...scared the ? outta me

    IT- that clown was scary..he is laughable now though

    @ bolded: Yo I didn't even know that was the name of the film...that's how scared I was! I always referred to it as Chucky and it's been almost 20 years since watching it.

    Co-sign on IT; looking back now makes you think why that ? was even scary.

    Italian Horror films in particular Lamberto Bava and Dario Argento's "Demons (1985)."

    I first saw this when I was 6, didn't fully get over it until I was 17, and I haven't wore a Halloween mask since. SMH.
    I hated this ? movie.

    The entire movie is on youtube, this is part one

    I saw parts of it when I was younger, but Demons 1 and the sequel Demons 2 ? up my childhood.
    My parents used that movie to keep me on the straight and narrow, and it worked to.

    The Exorcist scared the hell outta me when i was young. Till this day i still wont watch that movie

    Nightmare on Elm street scared me too. Not so much while i was watching the movie but afterwards i used to be scared to go to sleep.

    Pet Cemetary was scary i always remember the lil boy Gage (i think was his name) walking backwards constantly saying "No fair, no fair"


    Honorable Mention: Even tho it wasnt a movie this video game used to be creepy as hell playing it at night in the house with all the lights off..

    Puppet Master - dolls coming to life always creeped me out
    Pet Semetary 2 - when the dad comes back to life and starts terrorizing everyone
    There was a film that scared me, but I don't remember the name. I just remember the man's hair growing fast and he had worms coming out, I just always remembered that part.

    The movie is real cheesy but the very ending makes up for it...whatever u do stay away from any spoilers(youtube,IC,IMDB) cause if u so much as have the smallest inkling of how it ends it will ruin it trust me.....and watch it at night by yourself......i dare u.

    Yep... the ending of Sleepaway Camp had us like... "Man... what in the ? is going on!!!".

    94SleepawayCampposter.jpg

    That ? had us turning every light on in the muthafucking house. The ending of that ? just took the movie to a whole other realm of "What the fuckness". LOL


    This next one is weird because I don't know why out of all the crazy ? in this movie this little part stands out... in the 1st Hell Raiser movie when the female Cenobite comes up the stairs after Kirsty and says "Not leaving us so soon, are you? You see her from a distance walking round the corner on the stairs and she's growling. Something about the scene is creepy as ? .

    TV8tumblrlfcuBuT.gif

    It's like you could picture that ? walking up your basement steps talking about "where you going ? ...come here". LOL
