Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

For me the scarriest TV had to be ITV's Thriller...I can remember my Nan babysitting on Saturday nights & she used to let me stay up and watch this with her.....They were all really scarey but especially the one with Diana Dores.......
I can also remember those public info programmes used to scare me s***less!!!!...

Kind regards

Re: TV that scared you.

Theres only one movie that really really scared me (so much so that ive never watched it since)....Nightmare On Elm Street. I swear i didnt sleep properly for over a week! Freddy Kreuger doesnt scare me as much now but i still cant bring myself to watch that movie again.

Nightmare on Elm Street is awesome, one of my favourite horrors Watch it again!!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

First film that made me feel bowel movements was, ...ok, not that scary, ...vbut I was only about eleven and 'House On Hauted Hill' the original version came on, my parents weren't in so our big sis let us watch the 'horror' I was trying to be brave and anticipate the fake ghosts etc, but when there was a scene when someone was tappping on a wall to see if there was anything behind it or something, ...this ghost was just there waiting on him looking up and, ....ohyafkr, I didna half jump!!!!

Not sure I've seen the original. Although I'm sure I've seen a few crappy re-makes.
Reminds me of one of my all time best Horrors "The Haunting"
The banging on the wall...

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

"Late Night Story" used to rattle me something awful. As if having Tom Baker read "The Emissary" or somesuch to you wasn't unnerving enough, they had to go and preface it with this...

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

I agree with Huggie about the likes of Saw: Torture Porn they call it. although it wasn't bad - it's the others in the genre I'm not keen on.
This stuff doesn't scare me in the slightest, so I wonder why people watch it. I always think of Horror as "Fairy Tales for Adults" and I want to be spooked (it's actually theraputic - I kid you not) but don't put me off me dinner! Scary, yeah, gross, no!
I couldn't eat pizzas for months after that scene in one of the Knightmare on Elm Street films.
Not to mention The Fly...
Actually, it probobly helped my waistline...

Child catcher for sure, infact i am now 43 and he still worries me a bit! lol

Diana dors playing a witch in an episode of ITV Thriller in the mid 70's fightened me half to death! so too did the murdering mannaquins in Jon Pertwee's Dr Who

I never have been easily scared, but the Diana Dors one certainly gave me the chills.

I nearly hit the cinema ceiling when the bodypart fell out of the hole in the boat in Jaws & when Jason sprang out of the water at the end of Friday the 13th.

Loved 'It' & The Omen. Didn't scare me though.

Ghost Watch was genius. Realised it was a drama way before the end & thought it was really well done.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Just had a vague memory of another scary film. It was one of those creepshow type compilations and all i can remember is a woman lay at the bottom of the stairs and the silhouette of her young son walking down the stairs saying in his normal voice "Bobby hates you Mummy" and as he gets to the window at the bottom of the stairs cue lighning illuminating a scary blue demonic face.

Could that be Dead of Night (1977) sequel to Trilogy of Terror Branny?

Thank you! I watched Trilogy of Terror on YouTube a couple of nights ago convinced that this was one of the stories and was disappointed to find it wasn't. I was only thinking this morning I'll have to start a thread asking if anyone remembers which film it was.

I love this site
