I saw the Birds when I was 4.

I am almost 30 and I still run away whenever I see a group of birds.

As I sit here and ponder, I believe the movie which had the most effect on me was Grizzly. This was the first horror movie my dad took me to see on the bigscreen and I still remember that experience today. I have not seen that movie since, but am afraid to say I would probably laugh at that cheezzzze today.

Evil Dead when I was about 8

Salems lot, that scatching at the window got to me. Although my dh creeps up on me and whispers "brains" thanks to G Romero that gets to me.

I agree with halloween sucks in the UK.. evil dead was the one that scared me ..especally when the one person got stabbed in the ankle with the pencil...(shivers)...i havent watched it since i was little..i should watch it now to see how i would react now LOL

It would be a toss-up between three:

Rabid - A friend and I stayed up to the wee hours to watch it, and for some reason it really got to us. We sat on opposite ends of the room part way through it, because we were each concerned that the other was going to transform into a bloodthirsty ghoul.

Nightmare on Elm Street (the first one) - Normally I try to go to sleep to get away from frightful thoughts, but this movie kept me from wanting to sleep. When I went home the next day, my mother was gone for the day. I stayed up long into the night waiting for her to come home, listening to a Superman radio show to try to give me courage.

Return of the Living Dead - Whenever I went to my friend's house, I walked along a train track. At one point in the track, there was a deep hole with a few boards covering it. After watching this movie, I always had an unquiet feeling there were zombies hiding under there.

Labyrinth....David Bowie scarred the crap out of me when I was little lol.

Evil Dead scared me as an adult. I have the movie, and it doesn't bother me much now, but a basement door in the floor still creeps me out.

I haven't watched many horror movies when I was a kid. Probably the first horror movie I seen because it was on regular tv (not cable) was Leprechaun, and it's still today awesome. I just don't like 5 & 6 because they have to swear like 200 times in each of them, and I can't take that much.

The one horror thing that I really didn't like was that Alfred Hitchcock's thing that is closed down at Universal Studios when I was younger. The reason is because I wanted to go to the Fieval West play area, and I had to go into that stupid Hitchcock thing, and was annoyed as anything. When we got out of that Alfred Hitchcock thing, the Fieval West thing closed!! Since than, though I have seen Pyscho movie, and it's pretty good, but I'm not scared from that movie though.

Haunted creatures, and aliens aren't things that scare me. I'm a person that if I see a Jason in the costume would say, hey you look cool looking. What was funny just recently, I was in a Jewel (food store), and there was a guy that looked like the prankster from Friday the 13th: Part 3, and I was going to say something corny to him, but I didn't.

I think everyone is scared of the unknown, and the dark. The dark is the unknown. Even if you say you aren't scared of the dark, I really can't believe that. You put someone on a street in the middle of nowhere with no lights on at all and no car lights either, and they will be freaked out of their mind. Get up in the middle of the night, go in a very dark area, and you are afraid you might walk into a post or a wall, or any object. If you have a flashlight, that doesn't count as being in the dark either. When I say dark, I mean pitch black dark with no lights, blacklights, candles or anything.
