Looking back I don't know why

The one that always stuck with me most was the dread of being so utterly helpless as the prisoners of The Cube 1997.

Otherwise Saw: 238194. The scene with the black guy in "the rack" having each of his limbs twisted 180 degrees at the joint.

The whole Candyman/Bloody Mary thing was a pretty big deal when I was younger, everyone had some kind of spooky story to tell about it, like they knew someone who had a cousin who said the names and died or some shit.
I wonder if kids are still spreading spooky rumors like that around even now, or if its been replaced with other shit

The dude with a caged head in the 13 ghosts remake. I remember having to have my mom downstairs with me and running up the stair cause I thought he'd be there to catch me n shit. Honestly though it's still a little spooky to me

>>82289589
If you can find the special edition dvd, it had a bunch of extras including the backstory for each ghost. It was really pretty cool.

The first alien signing during the fucking spanish party fucked me up for all my childhood.

>>82289759
Yeah I remember watching those after the movie when I was like 6. Kinda made me less scared and a more sad for the ghosts

>>82289988
oh hell dude so much of that movie along with the ring scared the shit out of me. Especially cause I lived in like an empty far house that was like 5 or so miles away from a real road

the only thing that spooked me was that damn tales from the dark side or whatever the fuck intro song

I just fucking scared myself thinking about it

>>82289351
The only reason why this movie is remembered fondly is the glass soundtrack.

Everything about these fools. I had 3 reoccuring nightmares I can still vividly remember from the time I was very young til I was prolly 14. These guys were in one of em (slightly related, another about being inside Jurassic Park after the dinos get out). Looking back now, it's ridiculous. But I legitimately woke up sweating, out of breath and trying to yell my lungs out multiple times.

>>82289351
Candyman would really piss people off nowadays.

You have this black guy who had been tortured and killed by a mob for racemixing come back in the present day as this killer demon who slaughters innocent people, and the heroine is all "nah, sorry about the past but that's your problem" and defeats and destroys him. The end.

spooped me as a young la

>>82290701
And then the white woman straight up takes his job.

Dunno if that would be applauded or not though.

The dark.

And desu I'm still scared of it. For a while I thought that I need to figure out how to stop being scared of something that naturally happens each day, but I keep putting it off.

When I sleep, I have to have one side of my bed against the wall so that when I turn off the light, I can quickly cover myself in my blanket, put 1 pillow on top of my head, and then squeeze my face between the wall and my bed. I stuff a pillow there and wad up the covers so I can block my ears. This is the most important part.

Blocking my ears makes me feel safe. Because I can close my eyes and pretend I'm somewhere else. And since I'm completely under the covers, I know my body is safe. It's like I'm in a cocoon.

When I was little, my mom thought something was wrong with me because of the way she saw me walking to the bathroom one night. I moved quickly, with my left hand covering my left ear, and my right shoulder scrunched up towards my right ear, with my neck tilted to the right so I could block my ear with my shoulder and still use my right hand.

I always feel like something's there. And unfortunately, I'm not joking. My family lives in a quiet rural southern town. If I'm outside at night alone, I still get scared. There is a forest behind our house. I've never been in it for long at night by myself because I've been able to avoid it. But if it's dark and I have to go down to get the tractor to help my dad or something, that walk to the shelter near the woods always spooks me. The soft wind, making noise with objects I can't see in the distance. The warm air, which feels inviting at first, but after a moment when you start to notice all the shadows behind you it starts to feel suffocating. The fact that where I am standing now, in the dark, with my back in the open, is leaving me vulnerable.

My greatest fear is either being lost alone in the woods at night, with the forest making so many noises I can't think. Or being helplessly afloat in the middle of the ocean.

>>82290718
oh nah man fuck you.

I can't even watch those parts.

>>82289551
it's been replaced with what the kardashians was wearing or what trump tweeted

The opening of jaws where that girl gets dragged under the water fucked me up for a really long time.

>>82289351
I watched a lot of scary stuff with my mom and older siblings but the only scene that I can remember that had any lasting effect on me was the part when the black guy gets axed in The Shining. Compared to some of the other stuff i saw as a kid it's pretty tame but something about it got to me for some reason.

>>82289351
Freddy kreuger always scared me the most because he could pop out anywhere, plus its impossible to stay awake forever

>>82289400
The cover of Halloween 3 always fucked with me the most when I was a kid that fucking face with the long shadows of kids, also fright night or night of the living dead, covers had the best art in the eighties

The Cube was essentially Saw before Saw. If it came out in the 2000s it would have been a big hit.

>>82291168
Correction: it's not "The Cube", it's just "Cube". And they made more of them.

The opening scared me so much I never saw the rest of the film

>>82289351

most horror ghosts, demons, killers didn't scare me except for that movie (i think the title was house on haunted hill) where someone was taking videos and he videos operating room no one's there but on video there are people and they all suddenly turn and stare at him. that spooked me. i think that's when looking at an empty chair creeps me out started.

>>82292840
This cover, and the one with the woman opening her mouth with a tiny skull embedded inside. Both freaked me the fuck out.

>>82289551
That pic turns me on. I think it's the chick's facial expression. She looks like it tickles.

If you haven't read "Dune," you should. It contains a litany that actually works. Master yourself. Embrace your fear. It is the font of all courage.

>>82293350
>claims pic turn on

Your pants. They're on fire.

I don't actually remember what film it was, and I don't care to, but when i was like 10 years old I caught some midnight television broadcasting a horror movie.

It was about some inmates who found an occult book and tried to use it to escape prison.
One of them was a bull dyke transvestite. A guy had a collage of vaginas clipped from porn magazines glued next to his bed bunk, which would come alive and start dripping fluid at night.

Shit was pretty nasty.

Fuck those cackling assholes with a rusty rake. Seeing those little shits (suposedly comically) burning people alive with their ray guns and the remaining smoking skeleton spooked the fuck out of me when I saw it in theatres at age 10.

Just remembered another one which is the Poltergeist clown scene.

Took quite many years for me to rediscover it. For a long time I actually thought it was just some fucked up dream of mine.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Hellraiser 1 and 2 are absolute kino. The rest of the series never measured up but the first 2 are easily two of the greatest horror movies ever made. On a semi-related note, I've always wished someone would make a Wojak based on that image.

Nightbreed. I couldn't remember what it was called but I did some research and finally found it.
The monsters and stuff were pretty scary but what really freaked me out was the scene near the beginning where the family is murdered by the serial killer dude. Kinda like what >>82298996 said, the idea that you could just be minding your own business and some psychopath could come into your house and kill your whole family for no fucking reason really disturbed me. I was just a kid and nothing like that had ever even crossed my mind before so I guess this really made an impression on me.
I couldn't fall asleep after I saw it because I kept thinking about somebody breaking into my house and slitting my parent's throats like in the movie. My mom came in to check on me and saw I was crying so I explained I was afraid of being murdered by a crazy person and she told me "Oh, anon. That probably won't happen!" My mom is a nice lady and she didn't like lying to her kids but I could have done without the "probably" in that fucking sentence.
The entire movie is on YouTube if anybody is curious for some reason but it's pretty shit quality.

Do kids even have sleep overs and shit any more?

I remember being 10 years old at friends' birthday parties, 12 kids all staying up late in sleeping bags telling spooky stories in the dark, hyped up on sugar.

These days I imagine every kid has his smart phone or tablet with wifi connection and nobody gives a fuck about spoopy stories.
