Paula , surely you remember don't you? There is no party tonight.......
Additon to my earlier post: favorite vampire films
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067490/?ref_=fn_al_tt_5
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089175/?ref_=nv_sr_3
Neither of these were made in the standard mold. In fact, in The Night Stalker, no one actually believed in vampires until the final reel. Darren McGavin's character is just about getting the big story that will get him a better job and if he can humiliate the powers that be that exiled him to a minor paper in the meantime all the better. The last few minutes in the movie when Kolchak is inside the vampire's house are some of the scariest ever put on film. The vampire is a 73 year old wealthy Romanian nobleman with a great backstory!

My older kids were freaked out by the clown under the bed in "Poltergeist".

I remember seeing one that I think was called "Cyclops" when I was a kid. That one scared me, but I really don't remember why.
The Wizard of Oz also scared the snot out of me as a kid. Not the ever popular flying monkies though. It was those XXXXX talking trees, throwing things and grabbing at people. I'd never seen any monkeys where I lived, riding, walking or flying, but I'd sure seen trees.
Play Misty for Me. My favorite Clint Eastwood movie. Totally out of character for him, but that crazy gal (Jessica Walter) scared me half to death.

I met a girl like that one time. My mom and I were watching "Play Misty" and she turned to me and asked "Remind you of anyone?" Funny-she had never met her-just talked to her on the phone!

I cant believe that nobody has mentioned those Hannibal Lector movies? I never saw the 2nd, but only about 30-45 mins of the first one. We had to attend a Shift Meeting and the supervisors wanted us to watch the first Lector movie. Of a room with around 110 officers in it, most left with in about 20 minutes,I left at somewhere between 30-45 minutes.

Let me see if I remember the order:
1) Manhunter
2) Silence of the Lambs
3) Red Dragon
Is that correct?

I haven't seen a movie in the last 35+ years that scared me. A few surprise GOTCHA scenes have made me jump, and a few gory scenes that have made me flinch. But as far as being truly frightened by a movie - hasn't happened since I was on junior high, and probably ain't gonna happen...

Only two films ever frightened me ... "The Shining" (I still cannot watch the twins), and "Se7en" where Kevin Spacey is exceptionally evil.

Just remembered one more The Attack of the Killer Shrews. Those were some persistent little dodgers!!! The escape scene is about all I remember of it by now but that is enough.

For me, there were a couple that really stayed with me as a young teen:
1) The Blob
2) The Thing (the early 80's one). Literally gave me nightmares for a good long time.
I had one other that I recalled while reading the thread but can't think of it right now.

When I was little, it was Frankensteins Monster, the Mummy and the Werewolf. Dracula had me checking under the bed every night. Universal Pictures had great monsters. I still like the original Lon Chaney Jr. werewolf.
Heck, at that age even the campy Japanese monsters scared me. Rodan and Godzilla accounted for streaks in my underwear, I'm almost sure.

No. Manhunter and Red Dragon are the same movie, under different names.
There are four movies Around Hannibal
1. Hannibal Rising – (Hannibal as a child in Europe)
2. Manhunter and Red Dragon (These are the same movie & the best of the bunch)
3. Silence of the Lambs
4. Hannibal

"The Exorcist" scared the tar out of me. I had to sleep with the light on that night. And I was 25 years old. I guess the next scariest was "Poltergeist", but not enough to make me want to leave the light on.

I remember Manhunter because the "prison" where Hannibal Lector (Brian Cox) was housed is an art museum here in Atlanta! William Peterson (later of C.S.I. fame) was Jack Crawford & he carried a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Spl. loaded w/ Glasers. They actually worked that into the dialog.

I think Silence of the Lambs is the best movie, but Red Dragon is the best book. Dollarhyde was a better villain than the almost campy Hannibal Lector (in the movies) but the script and acting made up for him. Buffalo Bill was also scarier than Lector.

One of my favorite movie scenes from any movie was at the end of the original Poltergeist where Craig T. Nelson yanks the motel room door open and shoves the little tv on the roller stand out the door with extreme prejudice and then straightens up look around does a fist-pump kind a thing and then goes back inside the motel room and slams the door. It was just very cool.

I never knew exactly why but Logan's Run scared The Hell out of my mother. It was the only time I can remember growing up that she absolutely forbade me from seeing a movie.
She wouldn't let me read the book either. I bought it 2 or 3 times and every time she found it she threw it away.
Don't remember when I finally did see it but I remember thinking "What's the big deal?"

I saw it when it first came out, but dont remember anything scary about it. I watched it for the Farrah Fawcett factor.
It was on TCM a couple months ago. I watched it to the point where Michael York (Logan) left the society. I missed the rest because of a phone call.

Killer Clowns from outerspace... No not really... The Strangers freaks my wife out. I was afraid of Jaws when I was little. For a great ending i suggest Last House on the Left.

Buffalo Bill was a creepy, scary villain..That whole final set up was scary stuff....Must have really been good. A whole pocket full of Oscars...What really made it a sleeper was the release date was set back to Feb. 91 a bad release month, due to 1990 release of another Orlan movie release "Dances With Wolves" Pretty good movie also....

I really liked John Goodman as Babe Ruth in The Babe but that was more a biography than a baseball movie.
A League of Their Own starred Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, John Levitt, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell and a few others that I can’t remember.
There are a couple of Tom Hanks movies that I won’t go see but I’ve never seen a movie with him in it that wasn’t good

The Birds. Now THERE is a movie that deserves a remake, with the top notch special effects we have today. If it was produced and directed right. There really is no danger of somehow ruining the original classic.
As an adult, really about the only one that got me was Alien. That was a good one!

"MOTHRA"!!!! And those twin Japanese girls that sang it out!
No really for me it was also the Exorcist. I remember I was 18 and had testosterone flowing all through my body. I was bulletproof, or so I thought. Then I saw that movie and remember sleeping with the light on and the covers pulled way up, all girlie-like.
I guess it was the subject matter of that movie that got to me.
I will say those clowns in "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" are creepy/goofy. I remember the cop in that movie was also the man after Josey Wales in the Eastwood movie. Talk about going from one extreme to another.
Good thread.

There are a couple of Tom Hanks movies that I won’t go see but I’ve never seen a movie with him in it that wasn’t good

Thanks, I might give it a shot sometime. Though I dont like Hank's choice of politics and WWII vet-bashing, I admit I never saw him give a bad performance. I still remember that short-lived tv show he did.

Cujo mostly because it could happen and I had a Ford Pinto. Eraserhead (1977) trailer - YouTube
But this flick truly creeped me out.

I've never been affected by the rubber monster movies or the space alien stuff or even the gut and gore type. The first movie I ever saw that upset me was the original "The Exorcist" where the little girls head did the 360. The special FX were awesome. Miss Pam made us sleep with the light on for several nights and she put a claw hammer on her night stand.  I had visions of waking up with no face but it all turned out alright. Still I felt better when she put the hammer back in the garage.
We stood in line for 2 hours in the cold misty rain to see it. I can't explain why it got to me. I found it interesting that William Freidkin, the producer, quit making movies for 12 years after he did that one saying that too much weird stuff happened during and right after they finished it. And when he did come back he stayed away from that type movie.
Well, tonight I watched a movie we rented from NetFlix that got to me almost as much as "The Exorcist". It's a new movie and stars nobody I ever heard of. But it was well directed, well acted, and the production design was excellent to highten the scariness of the movie.
The title is "The Conjuring". It's a true story which occurred in 1971. The story of a family that moved into an old farm house built in 1863 and the demonic posession of the house and the mother of the family.
If you google ROGER AND CAROLYN PERRON you can see the family that it happened to and also read about Ed and Lorraine Warren the people who investigated the house. BTW they also were in on the investigation of the Amityville houe and The Haunting in Connecticut.
I know a lot of these flics are phoney but this one and the Warrens is legitimate as far as I can determine. I've been keeping my eye on Miss Pam and so far she hasn't gone for the hammer but I'm gonna keep on keepin' an eye on her just in case.
I just don't know if stuff like this really happens but I do know one thing for sure and for certain. I don't EVER want to experience even a water glass levitating and flying across the room.
We have a considerable collection of movies on VHS, DVD and Blueray. I think I'll pick something on the light side and watch that and then maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get some sleep.
If you have seen some of the haunted house type movies and weren't impress be careful with this one. It might just grab ya and have you running to the garage to get a hammer of your own. I've seen most of the others and none of them scared me. Some, like Amityville were good movies but not really that scary. But "The Conjuring" did a number on my head.
You've been warned..........

Glad you liked 'A Haunting In Connecticut'. I was the Executive Producer on the first version that aired on Discovery Channel as well as 'A Haunting In Georgia' and the first five seasons of the 'A Haunting' series on Discovery ("In this world there is real evil..."; I wrote that!). Here are the movies that got too me:
1. The Mist....very, very disturbing.
2. The Grudge....very scary; made me sleep with the lights on!
3. Sinister....scary & disturbing.

A little FYI, that whole chest burst thingie was not in the script nor rehearsed! The director, Ridley Scott, wanted to see if such a special effect would shock people so only actor John Hurt, the film crew, and Scott knew what was about to happen. When the Alien burst out of Hurt's chest the reaction from the other actors was real, almost too real when Koto grabbed that fork and nearly  stabbed the alien and/or Hurt. What you saw from those actors was real shock & fear...Are you not entertained?

We're not talking about 'snuff films', just the scary stuff.

The hygiene movies were not snuff films. They were training films. Some were pretty scary though.

The film shown just prior to pulling into Subic Bay in the Philippines during a WESTPAC was pretty disturbing. Old black and white film that would scare the **** out of you.
