List your scariest childhood movies


http://paintedseahorse.hubpages.com/hub/The-Scariest-Movies-I-Saw-as-a -Kid

This made my list of movies that scared me when I was a kid. I love it anyway! What movies do you remember creeping you out as a child? Have you ever rewatched a movie and thought, wow, that's disturbing! I can't believe I saw that as a little kid! I'd love to hear your stories.

I feel cranky and pubescent today, and I don't know why. I'm going to take it out on people I like.

Pinocchio! Hands down, freakiest film I've ever seen and definitely scarred me for life! Lol! Needless to say, I never misbehaved after watching that movie!

"Watership Down," when I saw it at age 14. It didn't seem like a kiddie film at all. Now I know why.



Enter my contest! I need help for a new signature! Maybe I'll choose yours and you'll win a cash prize!

The Dark Crystal. To this day I still cannot watch it alone.

Hakuna Matata, bitches!

Also "Trilogy of Terror." I meant to add this one before also.

I'm with Frantastic - I completely freaked out in Pinocchio when the boys were kidnapped and turned into donkeys. Other than that, I don't remember any children's films upsetting me. I'm told that, when he was a child, my father was taken to see Bambi, and was so upset by the death of Bambi's mother that he couldn't stop crying, so they had to leave.

The only film that ever truly scarred the crap out of me was Night of the Living Dead, which I also saw as a child. I didn't sleep that night.

Labrinyth scared the hell out of me as a kid, and it still does.

My god I'm hallucinatin. I see little balls of sunshine in a bag

There was one film (or TV series I can't remember) I sort of recall when I was very young - there were 2 kids in a country house surrounded by huge stones - whenever they looked away to talk to each other & looked back at the stones, they had all moved closer ...

Creeped me out, they did!

Children of the Stones?

It wasnt me, it was the other three. Hang them!

reply

I'm with you, Children of the stones was very scary .....and another kids programme Escape into the night

In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant

Watership down, I saw this when I was a kid, and I cried my eyes out. They would not make a movie like that now-days, with rabbits killing each other very graphic :(

reply

Snow White did it for me! The Evil Queen was the scariest woman I had ever seen! Though The Wicked Witch of the West didn't bother me a bit! And they are still two of my favorite movies!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

NC (voiceover): Number 5--The Child Catcher, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Good GOD, was this guy creepy. When your parents said "stay away from strangers with candy," this was probably the person they were talking about.

Child Catcher: Lollipop!

NC (voiceover): He embodied everything that children imagined bad men looked like. In fact, to be honest, he's a little creepier now than he was back then. He looks like one of those guys you catch on MySpace trying to pick up 10-year-old boys.

Child Catcher: Come along, kiddie-winkies!

NC shivers in disgust

NC (voiceover): Whatever reason he creeps you out, he's one bad customer. And my guess is, he'll be ringing your doorbell reading a court-required notice sometime soon.

Wizard of Oz. Specifically, the scene in the castle where the Wicked Witch's face in the crystal ball gets zoomed in on. I dove behind the couch every time; wouldn't come out until the commercial break.

The tornado scared the bejeezus out of me too, even though my parents assured me that tornadoes were almost unheard of in our part of the world.
