What say you?

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974)

The Birds. Hitchcock was a genius.

I was always partial to the "Hellraiser" franchise.

Movie that scared the **** out of me as a kid: The Evil Dead

Movie that scares me as an adult: The Thing (John Carpenter). That is one of the creepiest movies ever.

Night of the Living Dead (George A. Romero, 1969).

Phantasm scared me pretty bad when I came out in '79.

Gotta agree with Goat on this one. I still struggle to watch that movie even today.

Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978)

A Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven, 1984)

The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973)

Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)

The Hitcher (Robert Harmon, 1986)

I remember The Exorcist as being pretty scary when I was younger! That whole "turn your head around and spit pea soup" thing, along with masterbating with a crucifix was enough to scare the crap out of me......

Harem Skarem

My legs was so paralyzed I couldn't move a inch. I was scared.

Amityville horror. Those windows in that house creep me out.

^ The book was much scarier than the movie!!!

NO THANKS!

I lived in a house that looked just like the one from Amityville horror, scariest place I ever lived. But movie, Friday the 13th, that mask, machette, and the woods, yep gets me every time.

#16..... I would NEVER live in a house that looked like that!

The Exorcist

but silence of the lamb did a job on me too....

Best "in the theater" mass audience freakout was Jaws when Richard Dreyfuss was diving at night to investigate the capsized boat.

The other notable movie was The Thing, everyone was just shocked into numbness at the jaw dropping special effects, beginning with the dog scene and the freaky head popping off, turns into a freaky spider/crab thingy.

The Crying Game.

That chick was a DUDE!
