re: What movies scared you when you were little that you didn’t watch till you were an adult

i watched Jaws on tv at Tim Fish's house after a piano lesson when i was about seven or eight and it terrified me. i didnt watch it again until i was either in high school or maybe even college. one of my favorite movies ever now, but it absolutely terrified me. i'm one of those 80s kids who Jaws deeply scarred and made me even irrationally scared in the pool or bathtub.
another one was the "The Raft" from Creepshow 2. i dont remember watching either of the other stories in the movie, but the Raft stuck with me throughout my childhood. it was one of those ones that I didnt even know what it was when i watched it. i think it was on at a friends house or something. it wasnt until college or maybe even post college when it popped into my mind for some reason and i googled it to see what the hell it was.

Not as an adult but watched at an early age.

Wizard of Oz freaked me out.
But I loved return to neverland.
Go figure.

Yes!
An American Werewolf in London and Poltergeist were other ones for me

I started watching sci-Fi, horror shows at age 6-7 on Saturday afternoons in the ‘50s so I was hardened at an early age.
But in my late teens I watched Rosemary’s Baby and it totally creeped me out. I still won’t watch it again now at the tender age of 73.

I have to go with Cobra. The night slasher scared the shite out of me as a kid.

Same.
Our elementary textbooks were from Silver Burdett Publishers. I didn't even like that. It made me think of that damn preacher werewolf.

Large Marge would still probably make me jump.

[I had nightmares off and on for months after watching The Relic when I was around 12 or 13, so I wasn't that little but not sure why it got to me so much].
Same. But later in life i read the book and the series that followed it and turned out to be a great book series written by Preston and Child. rewatched it around that time i finished the book and was not nearly as scary as i remembered when it first came out when i was 12 or 13.

When I was a kid Salem’s Lot came on I think CBS and that is my number one with a bullet, scared the shite out of me. Helter Skelter definitely, Orson telling me Nostradamus was never wrong and there was gonna be some crazy Middle Easterner trying to Nuke us wasn’t good. Also, there was a TV Movie (there was no other kind on TV back then) that had some friends in a Winnebago that got chased around by a bunch of devil worshippers. No clue the name but that scared the piss out of little me, those devils worshippers were no joke when I was a kid. We believed that shite!

I haven’t seen this referenced in a long time.

My parents took me to see Alien. This was back when if you missed a movie at the theater you wouldn’t get another chance to see it for years and they didn’t have a babysitter. Scared the crap out of me…I was around 8.
Same with Poltergeist. I see it now for the brilliance that it is but the thought of getting sucked into the closet or attacked by a killer stuffed toy was a bit much.

I wasn't afraid to go see anything as a 4th grader thru college. I didn't have a chance to go see any before then.
Even though they scared me so much I slept with my head under the covers & had a wooden stake between my mattress and box springs thru elementary school, I loved scary movies. The small town I lived in got lots of older movies so I grew up going to Hammer Studio double features with Christopher Lee as Dracula. I saw Rosemary's Baby, Night of the Living Dead, Halloween, The Exorcist, Jaws, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Thing, The Omen, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), all the way thru to 80's stuff like Poltergeist and An American Werewolf in London, in the theater. We had a drive in that showed nothing but old movies so I saw the Lon Chaney Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy (1932), The Birds, King Kong, the Godzilla movies, the Vincent Price movies, and a few of the Roger Corman B-horrors there.
After I was grown I didn't enjoy them as much. As an adult, I've gone to see the Exorcist sequels/perquel, almost anything from George A. Romero or Robert Rodriguez, and a few others on purpose. I've also caught stuff like Event Horizon by accident. It scared the sh*t out of me.
