For me it was Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Not sure if it was the 70's version or the 50's version that did it, but I definatly had nightmares about it.
I found the concept of being trapped in a world where everyone is turning into aliens far more scary than being chased by a ghost or a killer.
i remember halloween f###ed me up. also my mum let me watch twin peaks the tv show when i was 7, i had nightmares for months and have not watched it since.

Hmmm, they made a two-part drama of dracula in the 80's. DID NOT like the bit where dracula offers the baby to his hungry brides - screwed up my sleep for weeks after - Evil Dead was one nasty F*****. It was the sound affects really, that scream in the forest - bloody horrible

I distinctly remember two incidents. Michael Myers, when I saw halloween 5 or something at a friends house. And the little girl from the exorcist, when her head spins.
This isn't counting episodes of the X files.

A werewolf movie.....remember peeking at it through the door cos I was meant to be in bed...so don't know what it was called but it gave me nightmares for weeks. And I couldn't tell my parents what it was about cos I would've got in trouble for watching through the door.
Funnily enough though werewolf movies are my fave horror films now.

Have you read the book? That is really scary.

gremlins although that's not very scary and poltergiest - the first time i watched it i stayed up all night with the light on until it was morning how sad.
Poltergiest, it was that tree branch scraping against the window at night and that fecking scary puppet clown that came to life. I did'nt allow any toys in my bedroom after watching that!
You've just made me remember......I had a clown woolen toy that got chucked after I saw that film.....it looked almost identical to the one that was in Poltergeist....had to go.

Ghostbusters 2 (I think), because of that creepy guy witht he pram that flies who kidnaps the baby. Also the night before christmas.
7 years ago I was recruited by a secret branch of the CIA called sd-6. I was sworn to secrecy, but I couldn't keep it from my fiance, and when the head of sd-6 found out, he had him killed. That's when I learned the truth, sd-6 is not part of the CIA, I'd been working for the very enemy I thought I was fighting against. Now I'm a double agent for the real CIA where my handler is a man named Michael Vaughn. Only one other person knows the truth about what I do, another double agent inside sd-6, someone I hardly know, my father. <o>

i had a clown toy like that too, but i was scared to throw it away as i thought it would get mad at me, lol
The Hound of the Baskervilles. The B+W version from 193?. Black and white is always scary.
Also a Dracula film from that time too, I think. Dracula appeared in the classic pose at the window - arms spread, showing his cape and those teeth and those eyes....and I had a flippin window that looked the same... bloody hell.
Most people will find this very amusing to find the one of the scariest things I remember as a kid was 'Happy Day's'. Yes, the Fonz and co. Why I used to run out the room terrified and never return when the theme tune came on I'll never know. Perhaps I was becoming very critical at a very young age? Or maybe I was venting my dislike of the certian parts of American culture at an early age? If anyone's got a answers for this please feel feel to post them!
Talking cakes? Sophina I think I can help you there. There was a Sherlock Holmes film in the 80's about his college years. There was a scene where the young watson had hallucinations about cakes coming after him!!! F'^*ing weird movie!

Call me mad but I was scared by the film The three stooges meet Frankenstein, Boris Karloff made a cameo as Dracula. It was only till The Lost Boys and the lovely Kiefer, I realised how mad my fear was.

how sad.
