a nightmare on elm street 1 was very scary when i was 9 :) had to watch it with my mum and 4 some reason i found friday the 13th part 2 quite freaky i think it was the pillow case on jason that freaked me out,the gate was also scary in a good way the same with house

The beast with five fingers was THE first horror i ever watched,at the tender age of 4,and boy did it scare me,that disembodied hand playing the piano gave me the old crawling hand syndrome for many years after(remember watching blood from the mummys tomb on one of those bbc2 horror double bills and those opening scenes with the hand crawling over the sand dunes also left a lasting impression.)

Madman also had its moments,black christmas,watched alone with the lights out at the age of 12,boy did that scare me,and of course the pant shitting terror of the woman in black.:cool:

The Woman In Black is a masterpiece.

Poltergeist,
Killer Klowns,
IT,
The middle Freddies (3, 4, etc),
Aliens

Do you mean Steven King's IT?

If so that was the only film my dad wouldn't let me watch as a kid.

Agreed,though the first horror film I watched that genuinely creeped me out when I was very young was THE GORGON,the first horror film I ever remember watching.But that paled into insignificance when I watched THE OMEN for the first time when it appeared on ITV around 1980-81.THAT MUSIC !:ack:

The Lady in White scared me as a kid.

The first horror film I ever saw (aged 6) was Fiend Without A Face. As a result I wailed all night due to an unerring belief that there was a killer brain under my bed. :o

Yip, IT made me have nightmares for days. Even watching it today gives me goosebumps.
Poltergeist and Aliens were the bad ones for me!! Don't scare me now though.

yeah, IT has some damn scary moments. Pennywise is one hell of a scary clown.
