The Gate-
If you've ever seen this movie, then you know about the "workman scene". In the movie, they tell a story about a workman who was killed building the house, and subsequently walled up in the house. In the scene in question, his body busts out of the wall, wakes up, and attacks the kids in the movie. This scene made me pull my bed away from the wall for years after. For about a month after I wouldn't even lean on a wall.

This reminded me of of a scene that I'm sure is not really scary:

Does anyone recall the opening scene of The Gate 2? (Recalled from childhood memory) Where those two guys find all that money, but it ends up turning to [censored]? And then one guy runs away because his face starts getting eaten away and he runs and hides in the bathroom stall? Yeah, that scared the crap out of me.

The scariest movie I saw as a kid, believe it or not, was an Audrey Hepburn movie: Wait Until Dark.

This was pre-Jaws, and pre-most of the movies mentioned here so far.

I was completely terrified of the shower scene in IT.

I was deathly afraid of ET...I'm not sure how because it was a kids movie. But when Gert sees him in the closet. For some reason it really freaked me out.

The large Marge scene in Pee Wee's Big Adventure also scared me.

The nothing scene in the Never Ending Story (the wolf and Atreyu) I always FF'd through that part.

And all the Gremlin stuff scared me to no end.

Def. top two were Gremlins and ET my mom still makes fun of me for being so scared.

In the 70s there was a really bad made for TV movie that was something like Amityville Horror meets Airport '76. Basically somehow some kind of demon got on a plane and was terrorizing the passengers. You never really saw the demon but at one point it was holed up in the back of a plane behind a curtain. A freezing wind was coming out from where it was. One of the passengers threw a baby doll behind the curtain. Then after a bit the doll popped back out and landed on the floor. It's eyes were bleeding!

Scared the crap out of me as a little kid. Finally they somehow opened the door while the plane was flying, and tricked the demon into leaving the plane. Yep.

I'll be blown away if anyone has any idea what movie I'm talking about. I sure don't.


Edit: I think I've found it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068715/

Actually it's more like Excorcist meets Airport '76. Wacky.

Also does anyone remember an ongoing series on TV in the mid-70s, where a giant spider (like house size) roams around and continuously terrorizes this family? That always scared me. And what was that movie with an evil robot that looked like a wine opener? The kind where you screw it in, then push down on the handles to pull out the cork.

I think the name was clowns or something where people got put in cotton candy cocoons. Also, Gremlins scared the [censored] out of me at a young age.

I was not scared during the shining actually.

Me too. In fact, I cannot think of another movie that really scared me at all.

But I closed my eyes or covered my face during most of ET, and for years after was scared of aliens any time I was alone in the dark.

Of course, I was also scared of robbers. And strangers. So I don't know if it's entirely fare to blame ET. But yeah, that movie scared the crap out of me.

When I was a kid, I got really freaked out by a film called "Horror Express". It had Peter Cushing in it and was about a monster that was found frozen and was taken back on a train but thawed out on the way and started killing everyone. The thing that scared me was the way that the monster wipes clean the brains of its victims (literally - they took the top of a skull off a victim and the brain was smooth). Urrrgh!

Horror Express

Also, there was a scene in Carry On Screaming that bothered me, when the professor regenerates Oddbod Junior using just a finger as a starting point! Scarey stuff for someone under 10!

I had trouble with the government agency that shows up near the end - they freaked me out and gave me nightmares for a week or so.
