TV/Films That Scared You.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

A few have already mentioned my ultimate scarey movie from my childhood and that was David Soul in Salems Lot....there are at least 6 or 7 parts that me and my sister used to watch from behind the cushion plus 3 parts where we were behind the cushion with our fingers in our ears...the scratching of the window and the "let me in mark...he commands it".

Other ones that scared me were the scene of the fire in Mr Blunden and the song sung in sapphire and steel about walking up the stairs and seeing a man without a face..


and I still cant watch this bit in Bonnie Tylers Total eclipse of the heart where the choirboys have weird eyes and one flies towards the camera.

Hey RetroAEROSMITH, I've just realised that the childrens' TV programme I referred to was "Look and Read", the story was called "The Boy from Space", and your avatar is a still from it.

It was supposed to be educational but it scared the bejesus out of me.

Just found a montage of clips from The Changes. It's even scarier than I remember. Not for those with a nervous disposition!

The boy from space had nothing on the knight from 'dark towers' in the terror stakes!

That clip doesn't have either of them in it. Here's the Boy:

Here's the thin man:

One film that scared me was Salems Lot, especially when the boy vampire comes floating towards the window and starts scratching on the glass. I couldnt sleep with the lights out for yonks. ha ha

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Aye I know the clip doesnt have either of them in it....thought you would have preferred to watch it from the start instead of trawling through youtube clips...some other bits you may have forgotten could have reignited some deep dark hole in your subconsious.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

the second of the 3 window scenes, the first one is only available on the movie version where he is visited in hospital and the 3rd is when danny visits mark and the infamous "let me in".

Oh yeah, that one.

Also, Marley's Ghost and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in just about any version of A Christmas Carol, but the one that scared me was the Albert Finney 1970 version I think.

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.

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: 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.
