childcatcher from chitty chitty bang bang scared me to death too and still does! also,i musta been a wimpy child but hated the bit when the guy changed into the incredible hulk.
Hey Hull - I remember that film!!! - in fact it was on telly not so long ago!!!...gives me the judders just thinking about it!!...what about the Lost Boys - wasn't tooooo scary, but there were some scary scenes....when he was eating the chinese & it turned into maggots - can't look at rice in the same way now!!
lord of the rings when the skeletons riding horses and dressed in black hoods were looking for the hobbits! best scene of the film rest of the film an sequels were borin shite!!
Quatermass,the John Mills version,the part that freaked me out was when Timothy Dalton could hear his kids talking to him even though they were dead!!! Think I was about eight or nine years old when that was on & my brother almost convinced me it was real.Barsteward!!!
I've watched all kinds of stuff, from crappy horror to thrillers to the banned movies, where animals get killed for real and people really bleed.
Some stuff has left me tense or unsettled and I ALWAYS jump when I'm supposed to, but only while watching.
The only things that have ever properly got to me are scenes with a rape content.
Even the scene in The Pit And The Pendulum (Lance Henrikssen version), where the Inquistition inspect the woman for marks of witchcraft on her body..... THAT is far more disturbing to me than any kind of 'horror'.
Oh, the rest of the film was fine... even with a touch of 80s cheese. Plus, Tommy Torquemada is the dude of absoluteness.
Just that particular scene....
Wolf Creek got to me as well, purely because I could see that the girl he had tied up had been violated.
Rip her guts out, make a toothpick from her spine, whatever you want. Just don't violate them!!
Straw Dogs... now theres one worthy of gracing these pages, nice one oggy (i think!)
Must get round to watching that again sometime, think i'll wait till i've got company though, purely to have someone to discuss the merits of the plot etc... you understand *ahem*
