Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

thats clash of the titans mate.
one of my all time fave films.

one part that a long time ago scared is when perseus gave the person one god coin so the ferryman can bring him across the river styxx.

I was uneasy with michael jacksons thriller video when it first came out for obvious reasons. it didn't completely scare me to the point where I couldn't watch it though.

I didn't like clash of the titans ( or was it Jason and the argonauts?) when he slices off medusas head and all that stuff oozes out the neck.

For me, it was the Stephen King drama/movie 'It'. That bloody clown scared the **** out of me, and is the reason, to this day, that clowns freak me out a bit. OK, I have an adult mind now, I can tell the diff between that and a party clown, but they are freaky, they are abnormal weirdos! I saw 'It' when I was about 7.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

oh yes for sure that clown was super scary.

its actually a very good film even thinking of that clown sends shivers up my spine.

but it really scared me when i saw it when i was younger say between 8 and ten although thats a guess.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

Talking about clowns, the film 'Clownhouse' (1989) scared me when I watched it in the early '90s. It makes me even more uneasy now to think that the youngest character 'Casey' played by a young Nathan Forrest Winters was abused by the director Victor Salva. Salva was convicted of child abuse and served 15 months of a 3 year sentence!

One that spooked me as a kid was The Children of Green Knowe. Had to look it up for this thread, still gives me chills looking at the Green Noah tree. And the end credits with the wooden face. Brrrr!

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

I remember reading about how a character from Coronation Street died after being crushed under a van and when I saw it when the episode was repeated it actually did freak me out, probably because it was grainy black and white location footage and they showed his face after being pulled out from underneath it.

Re: TV/Films That Scared You.

when i was little i remember Channel 4 showing a series of films they referred to as "Chinese Ghost Stories" and there was one where a guy (i later discovered them to be Chinese Vampires), was hopping after this couple (Chinese Vampires hop on both feet with their arms out in front of them like a Frankenstein monster), and they hid in a closet and used a bamboo shoot to blow their breath away from the monster (they go after your breath), and back then this scared the sh*t out of me.

it wasn't til recently after some research that i found out the film was called Mr. Vampire and it was a comedy, i looked up the aforementioned scene on youtube and it isn't scary in the slightest lol, but it was scary as a kid.
