Jacob's Ladder messed with my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about it for days....
When I was like 13 I saw One Dark Night in the theater and it scared me so bad I had to sleep on the floor of my mom's room in a sleeping bag... Also about ten when I saw Amityville Horror, nightmares for weeks! When I was five it was The Hobbit, Golum was very creepy, plus Bilbo's quest seemed so daunting...
Vampires scare the crap out of me, and I'm almost embarrassed to say so did the movie Fright Night! It must have been my frame of mind.... I just saw 30 Days of Night, it had a pretty good ending.
Ok, after I just said the Pet Sematary was one of the few movies I haven't finished...I have to add two more. (Hanging head in shame.) Texas Chainsaw Massacre and House of Wax. I just can't get through those. Really those are the only three I can remember...at least until someone brings up another one! hehe
Which ones, the remakes?? Mojave, had you seen the original and made it through?? Did you mean you can't get through them because they bore you or they are scary to you?
Pet Sematary 1989. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974. House of Wax 2005. Cause they were too scary for me. Does that make me a wimp?? Funny, I can take almost all of the Asian Horror even though I think that it is much scarier in a creepy, spiritual, cinematic way, but the (somewhat) realistic horror that are in those three movies just gets to me. Now I will go screaming out the door...AAHHHhhhhhhhhhhh...
No, I'd never call anyone a wimp who can't make it through a horror film! You either like them or you don't but everyone has certain aspects of horror that frighten them imparticularly and that does not make you a wimp!
Sometimes I wish I could send my expressions and sense of humor over the net!! I was wondering if I should call *Myself* a wimp! LOL I mean, I'm a grown up--aren't grown up people supposed to be able to handle scary things? <&-O
Seriously, I'm so glad this thread was started. I thought I was one of the few adult-type people who were still terrified by some of the scary movies. I was terrified when I was a kid and though I'd grown out of it a little, but some of that terror is still there some of the time. WOW--I might even be somewhat normal! hehe
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Exorcist 3. That old lady with white eyes crawling on the ceiling with a knife in her mouth? Dude...
Any movie where characters have unnatural movements creeps me out - overly fast, slow. Like Evil Dead. Though it's getting a lot of screen time these days.
Exorcist III is extremely creepy and George C. is king!! Wonderful performance but yes everybody remembers those two jump scare moments in that film most of all! The old lady on the ceiling crawling like a bug really fast totally freaked me out and the moment when the freaky nurse comes flying out of a hall door with those mortician head chopping scissors! Yikes!
