ET and My Girl, when I was like 3-4. I loved ET as a kid, but the point where E.T. gets sick and the government agents raid Elliot's home is where I got freaked out in the theater. It pretty much crescendo'd with ET dying. I was sobbing inconsolably until he came back to life. My poor mom, having to deal with my breakdown... |

Might just be because I saw lots of Horror movies at a young age,like the original TCM when I was 3,but the only film to really scare me is Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer. I had to be 16 or so when I first saw it and even now the home invasion scene and the final scene of the film creep me out.

Alien scared the bejesus out of me when I first saw it as a young teen. Still creeps me out today.
I found Dog Soldiers incredibly unsettling too.

This may sound dumb, but the trailer for the movie "The Car" freaked me out as a child. The image of the headlights in the distance through the window before the Car drives through that house... as a kid, seeing any headlights like that made me think "is that The Car?" Haunted me for years.
As a teen, there was something about the ending of "Devil Times Five" that I found unsettling... how those characters could do something so disturbing and then just walk away really got under my skin.

The ending of Sleepaway Camp is still the biggest jolt a movie has given me. That it's a standard cheesy 80's slasher up until that point only makes it more effective. Yeah that weirds me out too, the second film is worse, the scene where Angela callously burns the two bimbos alive just for the fact she saw one of them in the act with a guy creeps me right out |

One I forgot to mention: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
I know that I am not the only one who was scared of the Large Marge sequence, whether it was the stop motion bit with the face, her telling the story, or just the whole sequence in general, especially when you go to the roadside diner.
Also, the nightmare sequence with the clown surgeons and the devil Francis.

It pretty much crescendo'd with ET dying. I was sobbing inconsolably until he came back to life. My poor mom, having to deal with my breakdown... Oh yeah, me too. Same comment in the film, too. I liked it right up to that point. It's a pretty intense part of the film if you're 6 or under. |

The severed head in Jaws keeps me from watching the movie to this day Probably my favorite jump scare of all time, right up there with the hospital corridor sequence in Exorcist III. It gets me every time. And that weird sting that John Williams does where it sounds almost like a scream underwater is genius. |

Haunted me for years. As a teen, there was something about the ending of "Devil Times Five" that I found unsettling... how those characters could do something so disturbing and then just walk away really got under my skin. If we're talking about trailers and commercials spots, I've had a few in my life. -When my parents took me to see Smokey And The Bandit in theaters when I was a toddler, they showed the trailer for this movie called Magic, an evil ventriloquist dummy film with Anthony Hopkins. The whole thing is based around the dummy, and the entire thing freaked me the f*** out. It's one of the most vivid memories from my childhood. -There were 2 TV spots that I remember seeing that I'm not all that convinced even existed the way I remember them. One was a teaser for Ghostbusters that just had the materializing ghost that then had the strike symbol form around him, kinda like how it happens in the titles for the movie, but what I remember was that that was the whole TV spot. Just the creepy coda that opens the Ghostbusters theme, the ghost, and that's it. Scared the hell out of me when I saw it. The other was a spot for the horror movie The Boogens, and what I remember of it was a waitress or someone walking in a parking lot, going up to their car, and suddenly getting snatched under the car while screaming bloody murder. The weird thing is, I'm not even sure this even happens in the movie. I've tried to find trailers for it, and the movie is online, but I haven't been able to sit down and watch it yet, so I don't know for sure that it's in there or not. It's just weird how I remember these things, but don't quite remember them the way they may have happened. |

It gets me every time. And that weird sting that John Williams does where it sounds almost like a scream underwater is genius. The use of sound is just brilliant in the whole movie. The Jaws theme always accompanying the shark until the one jump scare without it is the most obvious, but it is all very well thought out from beginning to end. I just love Jaws. |

Even after desensitizing myself to horror movies as a kid, it's still hard to watch the first Nightmare on Elm Street. Credit goes to Craven and Robert Englund. That scene with the girl in a body bad walking through the hallway is so effective. Thumbs up to the first Phantasm movie. The Tall Man was so damn perfect and those flying orbs were awesome too.

Paranormal Activity did, the second one too. Also the third one, although mainly because of jump scares.
Hereditary scared the shit out of me at points.

Hereditary. Everything about it. Especially the ending. You should probably avoid The Lords of Salem (2012) then. It might have the same effect. Actually, Lords of Salem didn’t really bother me. The overall darker tone of Hereditary sure did. |

Movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark and especially Temple of Doom (along with Gremlins) are why the PG-13 rating was created in 1984. The rating was even Spielberg's idea. But we don’t have a PG-13 rating here, we now have the 12(a) rating. And even so, It has been re-rated several times and is still rated as a PG. The Goonies went up to a 12a and never came back down. And Gremlins is a 15 here. On topic, the evil ghosts in Ghost at the end freaked me out for years. But then so did the picture of Ren and the laugh at the end of Stimpys invention... |

hand to Buddha, I'm serious, this movie scares me. WALL-E. Earth suffers an ecological collapse, it can no longer support life. And what does humanity do? does it learn from it's mistake? Nope, humanity gets fat, dumb and completely, 100% reliant on technology to the point the leader of humanity doesn't even know how to use a book. He's suppose to lead what's left of the human race, and he can't even open a book to read it. that's how dependent on the robots people were. the reason it scares me so much is this is a scenario that i can see happening. of all the dystopian future movies I've seen, this is the one i can believe will happen.

Dead Silence probably scared me the most. Dolls are my weakness basically.
