TV/Films That Scared You.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Salem's Lot without comparison!
An early scene with a disembodied hand in Blood From The Mummy's Tomb...actually all disembodied hands movies used to scare me.
Quiet As A Nun one of the Armchair Thriller episodes.
The end scene in The Man From The South (the first episode from Tales of the Unexpected) where the man from the title' wife shows her missing finger.
Barty's Party the episode from Beasts with the rats are scratching under the floorboards.
An episode of The New Avengers where there's a giant rat in it.
I remember being hysterical with terror seeing the phantom peeping through a keyhole in The Phantom of the Opera.
The bit in Asylum where the man chops his wife's body up in bits, wraps them in brown paper and dumps them in the freezer, then all the bits crawl around the place.
If anyone remembers the marvellous BBC adaptation of Dracula? Susan Penhaligon's performance as the vampiric Lucy was spine chilling and Louis Jourdan was a fantastic Dracula. I don't think I've seen any other actor to compare.

and its scary .
can see why it scared you.

The episode 'The House That Bled To Death' from Hammer House of Horror really sticks in my mind. I watched it when staying with my grandparents. I was only about 7 or 8 and I convinced my Granda that my parents would let me watch it! It scared the life out of me!! I'll never forget it!!

Seeing as we're on Hammer House of Horror. Anybody rmember the one where Vincent Price traps that couple in the cellar but ends up being trapped himself and the couple trapped in the house at the end and the one about the voodoo doll?

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

I remember a hammer house of horror episode...well the only one i remember actually that really scared me...all i can remember of it was I think there was a boy with like metal braces and he was a copy of another boy or something...all i remember is a fight in a barn or hay being involved.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

It wasn't actually a film but I HAD to stop what I was doing. A few years ago there was just me and the cat in the house for two weeks and I was up at midnight with the lights in my room off and listening to a band called Bal-sagoth (WWW.BAL-SAGOTH.COM) and writting a bit of DOOM/ALIENS style fantasy ficiton. It really freaked me out and made me totally paranoid.

Alot of people mention Whistle and I'll come (I think it's called).

Somebody else apart fro me who's heard of M.R. James. H.P. Lovecraft mentions him on an essay on horror fiction he wrote. As for V did you spot the pre-nightmare on Elm Street Robert Englund?

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

JAWS!!! When I hear that music i just wanna run and hide! I blame it for making me never want to go in any form of water! Except the bath and shower and pool! I'm even scared of rivers and lakes!

You'd love Misterjaw and Jabberjaw then.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Hammer House of Horror - The House That Dripped Blood. The scene at the children's party where the water pipes in the kitchen break, move, and spurt blood everywhere. Watching the scene again today still scared me.

Hey, I remember THAT sequence.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Rather ironically, I remember wathcing my first Hammer Horror Film (a Frankenstein one) and hiding under the blankets when somebody gets therir brain taken out but in some works of my own fiction, this is rathetr tame compareddc to having people's brains torn out of their head while they're still alive (and that's befomre my own take of the chest bursting sequence in ALIEN).

Re: What character frightened you the most as a child? TV/Film

Mine was definately the "Child Catcher" from Chiity Chitty Bang Bang! He still gives me the creeps now!

Now he'd be likened to a social worker/paedophile.
