I guess it’s your age and the setting.
 

For this teenager it was going on to the movies and then going to park in the park afterwards. Sure as hell it was a foggy night, and even with all the doors carefully locked before we started to make-out :whiteghos, she just didn’t seem to be in the mood. She only had to tell me once that she wanted to go home that night.:o I shouldn’t have taken her to see Alfred Hitchcock’s movie "Physco".
:eek:

The Birds was great but it never really affected me until I was in my late 20's and my cat brought home a bird.........
Outside the door all along the fence, in the tree and along the wires were crows, just sitting there watching and waiting. It really unnerved me, not to mention my cat lol........I remember thinking
Holy Shit...It could happen!!! lol

I think when kids are the focus of the terror, we empathise more, and so get freaked out even greater.

It brings to my mind 'Sixth Sense', which was my earlier quote, and the original 'The Shining'. But then I'm a sucker for anything King-ly.

King is the master when it comes to telling the story but with a few exceptions (one being rose red as previously stated) all of his movies suck pond water. The Shining was a great movie, but besides the names it was Kubrik's movie.

John Carpenters ~The Thing~ With Kurt Russel...the aliens taking the shapes of other living things....the dog's face peeling apart like a flower...Ewwwwwwwwww, So damn creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and the first ~Alien~ movie was pretty scary. I've seen all the Hitchcock movies everyone has mentioned. Maybe I'm not old enough or just too de-sensitized, but they are not very scary to me.

Hitchcock did not make scary movies as they are made today. His were thinking movies, movies about how real people or things could be the scariest things of all.

I'm such a big coward with scary films, so I tend to avoid them if I can.

Like dannyk said I have an absolute terror of anything supernatural which involves children. It's out of control.

I nearly peed myself just seeing the trailer for 'The Sixth Sense' and *blush blush* I HATED 'The Exorcist'. Everyone told me I wouldn't be scared, but I was petrified!!!!! Apparently it gets silly at the end, but by the time it started getting scary I stopped watching (I was clinging to my then fiance, hiding my face and blocking my ears so that I literally didn't see ANY of the rest of the film. Not even a peep at the screen from time to time! I would have left the cinema but we were with a big group of friends and I was driving so I couldn't have left them stranded and I was too scared to stand alone outside and wait for them!)

The worse bit was knowing that it was going to get scary but having to wait for what seemed like an eternity for anything scary to actually happen! Just like with sex, sometimes the anticipation is as powerful as the experience.

I can't believe I just admitted to everyone what a wimp I am!

A.K.'s Sex-Pot~ I am worse......Children of the Corn...got to me

Yikes...children of the corn was horrid covered in barf!!!!

for all you new movie lovers just think

Clickkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Stop it damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skipthisone, just can't argue with good taste ...

House of Wax - Vincent Price

Wine...good movies...and dicksbro ----> things that get better with age

I am sorry, but i do believe that the scariest film ever has to be SPICE WORLD!!!
Have you seen the acting on that film, it is enough to scar you for life!! I still have nightmares about posh spice trying to drive a double decker bus.

Maybe i should start taking my tablets again!!

When I was a little boy I had a lot of fear for "The Time Machine".
Today I like it very much and almost laugh about the oldfashioned way to create film monsters.

Scary movie more recent....would have to say Event Horizon, just Sam Neil was a great obsessed bad-guy
