Scenes from scary movies you remember in childhood that freaked you out.

[wiegeabo]

I saw The Dentist when I was about 5 years old. I wasn't right for a week.

That reminds me of the "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man. I think I've only ever been able to watch it once.

 

[The Joker]

That reminds me of the "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man. I think I've only ever been able to watch it once.

 

[Brother Jack]

This freaked me out too. It didn't help with his screaming.

"GEAAAAAAHHHH NYYAAA NAAAAA NYAAAAAA!"

I was scared of that as well. But now it's just funny.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Fright Night scared me as a kid, as did the scene in Jaws where Hooper recovers the shark tooth and Ben Gardener's body pops out of the boat.

I still remember sleeping with the lights on after watching The Exorcist for the first time.

The seat-jumper ending of the original Friday the 13th, with young Jason popping out of the water. I'd never watched it before, and all the other scares prior to it didn't get to me, but that one actually made my heart skip a beat seeing it for the first time.

people burstin out of water like that is quite creepy, **** Jason for that

 

[Michellemabelle]

Ha, I think it was Harry Manfredini's music that helped the scare as well.

I'm pretty sure that somewhere on youtube lies a compilation of that bastard bursting out of water snatching people

Ouch!

 

[Doctor Jones]

I can't believe I forgot but I used to watch the original Planet of the Apes when I was four or five constantly. And the scene that always freaked me out was the scene where Taylor discovers Dodge's stuffed dead body. It was the eyes. Those blue lifeless eyes.

[ALP]

[wiegeabo]

Oh, it's an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

Fixed it, yeah that first movie was some good scary stuff.

 

[Daredevil]

Poltergeist Clown Scene is extremely memorable to me. Scared me

 

[danoyse]

It wasn't a horror movie, but there was a movie back in the 80s called The Earthling, where William Holden (in one of his last movies) ends up having to take care of this little kid (played by Ricky Schroeder) who was orphaned when his parents' camper went over a cliff.

That movie used to be on HBO all the time, and the scene where the parents are killed scared the crap out of me as a kid.

 

[Kane52630]

I know this doenst count as a full length movie but its enough to count it as a short film / musical
but yeah I know many were scared as a child when they saw this as so was I.

[Heffer Wolf]

I don't remember exactly what movie it was, but this one guy was walking down these stairs that were had the open gap between each step, and someone stuck his arm through the gap and cut his achiles heel, and the guy fell down the stairs.

Ever since then, I will not walk down stairs that have an open back unless someone else goes right before me.

 

[mongoose-mania]

Child's Play always scarred me. Always. I always hated dolls, and that movie didn't help whatsoever. And Jaws and Jurassic Park always creeped me out, but I can tolerate them now.
I also remember being fairly terrified of Mars Attacks! when I was a child; especially of the scene in which the Martian woman bites off Martin Short's finger. Now it's become one of my favorite movies.

 

[Mister H.]

Regan's head spinning in The Exorcist. Keep in mind, this was in the early 1980's, as I was very young, and that was still some pretty horrifying imagery at that time.

The Elephant Man scared the hell out of me when I was in preschool. Obviously, I didn't get that it was the tragic story of a very unfortunate man at that young age, I just walked in and saw his image on the TV and was seriously traumatized for a few years.

The scene in which Murphy is murdered in Robocop disturbed me a great deal as a kid too. It's not so much that the scene is filled with horror and suspense, but it was the first time I'd really been shown a hero or good guy being blown to pieces with that kind of realism. It was just a darker side of reality I had never really considered before up to that point in my life.

 

[Doctor Jones]

When I watched Robocop, that scene was disturbing, even now it is.

 

[Bim]

Everything the invisible demon does to the woman in The Entity. This is the only movie i cant watch as a grownup still, it just totally freaks me out . Why i saw this flick as a kid is beyond me

 

[Matt Mortem]

did anyone get scared watching this during Halloween nights on some local channel?

Those old horror films are ALWAYS the best. Frankensteins monsters reveal is still really creepy to this day. Nosferatu is a classic of course t:
