I was young, very young and it was on tv.. i guess my parents didnt know
One scene in particular, i will remember all my life. The guy was diving around a sinked boat and there was a hole in it... then suddenly a dead guy fell thru that hole, I almost mess my pants ! And still remember it after all this time, even thou, i think, i never watched JAWS again after that.
May not look scary if you watch it now but god, i really wasnt expecting this to happen and i didnt sleep for a week !

I have to agree about EXTRO. It is a fricken wierd one for sure.
The Mention of Clowns reminds me of one that was a pain in the a** to watch for me! Stephen King's "IT". You just wanted to reach in and kick that clowns a** for them. Gotta Love Tim Curry tho.....
Reading the posts here reminded me.. Event Horizon was pretty F#@*#@# scary. i remember wishing for the movie to end ASAP I just couldn't take it anymore. And yes I too saw it on the BIG screen..

IT in book was killer. had my old flame of mine, read me to sleep with that for a couple weeks.
JAWS the movie did keep me out of the water alittle. at least made me question what the hell just touch my leg while i am swimming. but JAWS 3-D in the theaters, just gave me a good reason to trip out...
I hate to admit it but the movie that freaked me out the most wasn't a big screen extravganza full of cool special effects. Nope, it was a cheesy made-for-T.V-movie that I saw when I was 10 or 11. It starred Carl Weathers, Burl Ives, Connie Selleca, & a Giant Sea Turtle.
I can only remember bits and pieces of the story line now. My most vivid memory is the ending scene where Carl weather's character is dragged into the depths of the ocean and his death by the Turtle who he's entangled in harpoon cables with.
Ya, I know it sounds like a lame remake of Moby D*ck but as an Eleven-year-old it really freaked me out.
What a bunch of wussies; nearly 2 pages in and nobody has yet to mention CBS broadcasting Salem's Lot in '79? i was thirteen and mentally scar'd for a few years. not to mention plenty of older kids were scared shitless. pet cemetary ain't got nuthin' on salem's lot.
honorable mention goes to Omega Man with Charles Heston.. needless to say i freak'd out everytime there was a powerfailure that summer.
Dude, a Giant Sea Turtle would kick a Vampire's a** no problem!
Are you making fun of gamera? Even Rocket boosted turtles would have crapped their pants at the ghosts scrapping the windows in salem's lot.
actually, i should purchase the salem's lot dvd to give it to my neice when she turns 10. "your mommy was your age when it was first on tv, the family tradition must continue. here's some popcorn as well"
