Film ► Scariest Movie from everyone’s childhoods?

[Sonofjafar]

What movies scared you as a kid? The only one that truly terrified me was a short film by Tim Burton called Vincent.

The movie that scared me the most as a kid was Stir of Echoes. Watched it as an adult and it really isn't that scary, but it haunted me and gave me nightmares for years as a kid.

The Dark Crystal and the Neverending Story.

I watched Jurassic Park when I was five-ish, so that.

"What's the matter, kid? You never had lamb chops?"

Showing my age here. The Last Unicorn, Neverending Story, and Ghostbusters terrified me so much as a kid. Those terror dogs invaded a lot of nightmares.

"Don't look under the Bed." Scared the bejesus out of my 10 year old self. That, and The Grudge.

I know this is gonna sound stupid but the witch from Snow White freaked me out so much I couldn’t watch her scenes as a kid. Anything else scary Disney had to offer I could take. It’s just that one character

1990's Arachnophobia! This is the movie that forever made me afraid of big spiders. I can watch it now with no issues, but back when I was a kid I couldn't sleep the night I saw it.

 

[Smithee]

One that comes to mind is Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom.

Jumanji. The scene of Alan getting sucked into the game still feels a little creepy to this day
Funny how it didn’t freak me out in the animated series though

It was the opposite for me, loved Snow White as a kid, was scared by Sleeping Beauty, I think it was the spinning wheel thing, looking back it's kind of ridiculous to be scared of that movie, then again, I was five or six when I saw it for the first time, also black cauldron, saw that also when I was five or six, I was expecting an action movie because of the sword, and was disappointed, it was only used for one good fight scene and that was it, rest of the movie scared me, I'm over that now.

Yeah, Sleeping Beauty scared me as a child as well. That's not weird at all.

Gremlins did some psychological scarring for me for a few decades.
