First film that made you quake in your pants
 

Children of Ravensback scared me witless as a Kid.

When I first saw the Fly age 7 I had nightmares for weeks.

Hellgate made me throw up when I was 6 laughable now but the scene with that fish ewwww.

I was about 10 when I first saw AAWIL, As much as I love the film to this day, I can honestly say it never scared me at all.

What scared you then mate? Jeffrey,Bungle and Zippy? Rod,Jane and Freddy?:jest:
Now those ****ing haircuts were scary!

You must've seen the BBC-friendly-cert 10 version of AAWIL mate.....:D

You cheeky Shit :jest:

"Jaws" scared the cack out of me when I saw it at the pictures when I was 9 years old.Christ, I sound really old using the term "Pictures"!

"Salem's Lot"-the vampire kid at the window put the frights on me for weeks,if truth be told it still does now!

No films scared me as a kid but when i was 12 i watched Poultergeist on my own and literally shit my pants!!:D

Also John Carpenters underrated Prince of Darkness is a scary film.

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.

IT is in my top 20 favs of all time and top 3 of stephen King,The film is chilling and not many films get pushed through with a child killer storyline as untouched as this did, were any cuts ever applied from the original master??, even if they were there are some dicey taboo moments.

Years ago my mum and I were talking about the book "It" when we noticed through the window a bunch of balloons in the branches of a tree opposite our house!Spooked us both out for weeks.

I agree Loops, Prince of Darkness is very underrated mate.

Films with a surivial against all odds from violent gangs, crazy dudes, zombies etc scare me.
The scene in The Warriors were the Warriors break cover and run for the train, but the Turnbull AC's chase 'em in a bus , then on foot with melee weapons (b'ball bats, iron bars etc) along side the waiting train , scare's the s**t outta me still.
Realistic stuff like that frightens me.

The earliest memory of a movie/TV programme scaring me nearly to death in my childhood is from around '79/'80.
There was some strange 3 (?) part series running in the childrens' (!!!) programme in Germany, from which I only remember as much as a nuclear plant about to explode. The sounds of the alarm signals and sight of smoke and explosions simply drove me nuts!:p:D
The other bit is from '81/'82- I think, as my parents were watching a film(?)/TV series(?) set in the middle ages, with people fleeing from the "black death". The scenes I saw were spooky enough, but laying in my bed and still hearing the sounds from the living room didn't do my sleep any good either.;)

Watching the first 15 mins of "Jaws" on TV around '81, as I was about to learn swimming, wasn't probably the smartest idea too....:eek:

Holy crap!!
The book is a lot better/detailed than the film. There's a really evil character in it who tortures animals, yuck!! And he also "introduces" the head "bad kid" to the world of same-sex love....ahem! King really knows how to disturb huh?!!

the people under the stairs was the one that scarred me as a kid and hellraiser i was about 8 when i sneaked them from my mums room and sneaked downstairs to watch them when everyone was asleep.

I first saw it (aged 8) on the cinema in summer 1975, a few months after my family and I moved to Newquay. The water didn't exactly tempt me that year. :eek:

I must be a bit wierd r strange cant remember any film scaring me
I watched evil dead exorcist tcm all those type of films when they where banned etc in the hey days of the 80s and i was only 12 13 always been a horror fan since
Sorry but i realy just didnt rate stephen king it

The first part of It is good but the second part is crap.

Newquay was on GMTV yesterday morning Vince.Don't think it was because of a great whith shark though.:D
Looks like a nice place to chill out.:cool:

One film that made me shit meself was THE GRUDGE (JU-ON)
Best watched with the lights out and the sound turned way up.......:eek::makelikeatree:

At the moment it's a mecca for underrage drinking, corrupt town councillors, a tourist officer with his head up his anus, and a police force that hides behind lamp-posts when there's trouble. :ack:

It's great between September & May though. :cool:

Sounds like most places these days.. police who want to prosecute some 1 who accidently dropped a crisp but cant be arsed to follow up a burglary and give a constant reoffender another chance instead of sending them to prison

It's fine once the emmets (holiday-makers) have gone home. :cool:

It's been mentioned a couple of times on this thread but I'll mention it again. Prince of Darkness is one of the only films that scares me now, it's hughley underrated. When I was younger it was all about Halloween and Psycho I remember staying up and bein scard to death by them.

prince of darkness is an awesome film but i never saw it as a kid :mad:

I saw Prince of Darkness as a kid and it never bothered me, then last year i watched it and it scared the shit out of me!

A hugely underrated film.

With you guys on this one.When i first saw pod back in the late 80's didnt think much of it,but on watching it again on dvd,really enjoyed it and quite creepy,and that music score..;)

Having said that,theres quite a few movies i've been revisiting of late that i aint seen in yonks and have enjoyed them all. Watched superman 2 last night with my daughter..bloody brilliant,although some of the effects are a bit cheesy now.:D

nvr seen p o d yet :(
I have to get round to watching it
I think superman 1 2 3 r quality films
Quite a few films i realy enjoy watching time to time that arent in the horror genre..

The warriors
Scum
Labyrinth even tho might get shot for admitting to this :rofl: sorry guys
tron

Just a handfull of films seen quite a few times but nvr get bored of

Scum and the warriors are both classics,never tire of watching them myself.:)

Havent seen labyrinth and tron in years ,though i was quite fond of tron in my youth,labyrinth,less so.

I remember seeing Grizzly on the cinema in 1976 (I was 9). Even though the film had been quite heavily cut it was still extremely bloody and creeped quite a few of my year out.
