Which Movie(s) Freaked You Out?

Post Reply New Topic

I am the same way. I can watch gory horror movies all day (other than the fact that they are so boring because they pretty much follow the same formula). However, movies like "In the Company of Men" and "The Secretary", which have some very raw (and unusual) human emotions and behavior, really disturb me.

As a child I was frightened by Freddy Kruger (Nightmare on Elm Street). However, the movie that has freaked me out the most and that I will NEVER watch again is Requium For a Dream...It is simply disturbing.

Cabin Fever. - Face scene, eyes staring.

Requiem for a Dream. - Wow.... depressing. But at least it taught me about why i stopped using amphetamines.

House on Haunted Hill. - Weird, some disturbing images.

I didn't like Cabin Fever. Too much sex.

Nightmare on Elm Street is a fave of mine. I saw all of them when I was 9 or 10. Didn't scare me much.

In your childhood? I didn't realize that book was so old. Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. He writes some good books. Sole Survivor is a pretty sick movie, also by Dean Koontz. Genetic experimenting creating gifted children, some of whom are extremely psychotic, encouraged to use their gifts to kill. A kid was kept in a body capsule for years, where they fed him coca cola through a tube when he was good, electrocuted/drugged/tortured him when he didn't do what they wanted. Horrible in the movie, even more so in writing.
Generally, movies about Satanic stuff scares the hell out of me.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned "Return to Oz" yet... Eeep!

That movie definitely freaked me out when I was about three.

Also "Something Wicked this way comes" is pretty scary for a disney film. Definitely the scariest disney one I've seen- I know if I'd seen it as a child I probably would have been scared, although I only saw it as an adult, so it holds no particular scare value for me.

When I was little, the classic animated Disney version of Pinocchio frightened me to no end. To this day, I'm STILL disturbed by certain parts, like the clock with the mother spanking her son, and anything involving donkeys.

Currently, it's The Blair Witch Project. To this day, I still have a severe phobia of Heather Donahue's infamous "up-the-nose" shot that was omnipresent throughout the film's marketing

I saw napoleon dynamite and the bullying scenes bothered me a bit. The one scene I can't look at is the one where rico tries to sell the herbal enchanhers to Deb. That just. . . . .is too much for me to think about. Poor girl.

Frankenstein Movies too.

I just saw War of the Worlds. It was scary in an awesome kind of way. I think you should all go see it

Yes...I saw that movie...and I kinda wish I hadn't. I loved the rest of it, but the bits about the perverted guy were just...ugh!

When I was little I used to be scared of the boy who kept breaking things in "Toy Story", well I wasn't actually scared of him or the film, I just used to (and still do to a certain extent) be highly disturbed by things getting broken (I was sometimes too scared to play with a toy in case it broke and I never wanted a helium balloon in case it floated away).
