OMG I can remember going to visit my Dad on weekends and he was always watching that darn creature feature thing. scared the crap out of me. I
watched a few minutes of one with a scorpion in a shower with somebody and it terrified me for years. Still to this day I look all around the shower
before I get in. And I don't get in until all the doors are locked because of psycho.
guess I'm showing my age too.
still cannot watch texas chainsaw massacre movies to this day.
BUT I've read almost every Stephen King book and seen all his movies, they don't bother me one bit.
Go figure.
What horror movie impacted you the most as a child?, page 4

I guess movies that claim a hint of reality are more scary somehow.
I think that was the case at the time (1980) with poltergeist-type movies, or haunted house horrors.
Before the 1970's horror seemed very sci-fi, but it came increasingly closer to home.
I think another forgotten film was The Entity, where a woman is raped by a violent spirit.
This was also apparently based on a real case, and the people involved with the film certainly felt it was cursed.

What scared me as a kid was hearing from a woman how she had this problem, and she had to go to a sacred spot on Table Mountain to have it exorcised by a "Doekom" (a Muslim-type witchdoctor).

Yup, gotta echo that. It was really good. What about The People Under the Stairs? Good imo. The Hills Have Eyes(2006) that was pretty disturbing. I really enjoyed it.

2 movies from '75. I was 13. Trilogy of Terror. That doll scared the crap out of me. And Jaws. I lived on the west coast and I didn't swim in the ocean for years after that.
HOLY CRAP !! Trilogy of terror!
I was 10 and that little headhunter gave me nightmares for years......
Race with the devil (1975 also) was scary too but it taught me the usefulness of a good 12 gauge. Although it didn't help them in the end.

Interesting!! I hate scary movies, i can't watch them without turning my head during the slasher parts. (interesting to note: I have NO problem watching the walking dead, I guess I'm ok with slashing up zombies)
Appantly when I was little I liked them. I was born in 76. I remember watching Amityville Horror and liking it. I remember all the flies on the window, that was freaky.
My Mother took me to the movie theater once. I remember not wanting to go see the stupid movie her and her boyfriend were going to see and asking if I could go see my own movie, by my self. I wanted to see Nightmare on Elm St. She let me. I remember thinking I was the bravest kid ever and everyone was a bunch of sissies. I thought that happened when i was 10 but the movie was released in 84... So was I 8?
My Mum musta been nuts
