The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Based on a true story in Texarkana, Texas and they never caught the guy.

quote:

The film is somewhat loosely based on the actual crimes attributed to an unidentified serial killer known as the Phantom Killer; it claims that "the incredible story you are about to see is true, where it happened and how it happened; only the names have been changed." The actual Phantom did attack eight people between February 22, 1946 and May 3, 1946 in or near the town of Texarkana, Texas, which is on the border of Texas and Arkansas. Most of the murders occurred in rural areas just outside of Texarkana, in Bowie County, Texas, while the film has them occurring in Arkansas. However, the general outline of the murders largely follows the reality, with mostly minor artistic license taken. As in the film, the real killer was never identified nor apprehended.

as a kid, "The Deliberate Stranger" used to make me feel uncomfortable and worry about my family members.

edit:

The final scene in Buffalo Bill's basement still sends chills down the spine.




this scene was more traumatizing.

I'm 65. As a kid the original versions of The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Day the Earth Stood Still, Wizard of Oz, The Werewolf of London, Godzilla, and Horror of Dracula pretty much creeped me out.

As an adult, Jaws, Alien, Angel Heart, Halloween, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, and The Exorcist left their own lasting creep-out patterns on me.

Book is a tough call between Salems Lot and It.

Possibly the most suspensful movie I've ever seen.

Woman in Black is up there as well. Okay, the entire forty minutes of the second act are.

My mom let me see nightmare on elm street when I was toddler. She didn't "let" me but I watched it when she thought I was sleeping or something.

Didn't remember it, really but I saw Freddy on a yoyo year later and it was like déjà vu. My mom swears I never saw it but when I saw the yoyo I knew I've seen him before in a movie.

Maybe not the scariest, but certainly one of the trippiest...

Babe 2: Pig in the City

Here's part of a review by the Filthy Critic:

At the beginning of the film, Babe has accidentally f*cked-up his boss. She can't keep up and the place quickly falls into debt. Well, the only way to raise enough dough to get the farm out of hock is for Babe to make a guest appearance at a county fair.

On the way to the fair, the wife is suspected of being a drug dealer, and she is strip searched (no, we don't get to see her goods). The delay forces her to miss her flight and she and the pig can't get to the fair. Instead, they are stuck in a big-arse crazy city, where Babe is not welcome. They shack up at a screwy hotel, the only one in the big bad city that will take animals. The cats are boarded on one side, the dogs on the other. A family of unfriendly circus chimpanzees and an orangutan reside on one floor with their owner Mickey Rooney, a sad, creepy circus clown.

Rooney steals Babe and makes him part of his circus act. During a performance in a hospital, Babe accidentally starts a fire that burns down the children's ward. Well, this is so traumatic for Rooney that it puts him in a coma, and he's rushed to the hospital. The hotel's owner is Rooney's niece and she leaves to be at his bedside. Meanwhile, Szubanski is arrested because some policemen think she called them pigs. That leaves Babe, the primates, the cats and the dogs back at the hotel, alone to fend for themselves.

When the abandoned animals almost starve, they try to rob a grocery store. In the process, Babe pisses off a pit bull who then wants to kill him, but ends up dragging a lawnmower all over the crazy city in hot pursuit of our pig friend. This is the best chase scene I have scene all year. It ends with the pit bull hung by his chain over a canal, his head submerged and him struggling for survival. The pit bull comes within a hair of actually drowning, but Babe rescues him and he becomes Babe's protector.

Because of a rude neighbor that does not like animals, Babe's friends are captured by animal control and put on doggie death row.

These films gave me the most nightmares as a kid so they are obviously the scariest

Salem's Lot - the jail scene and the window scene. I wouldn't look out of my window at night for a while.

Friday the 13th - mostly it was that last scene when I thought everything was all sweet and innocent again.

The Shining - the 2 little girls and the old hag in the tub. frick, I was too scared to even pull back the shower curtain for a while

Halloween - that was a sleep in my parents room afterwards movie.

The Exorcist. Scariest movie of all-time in my opinion.

That's actually a pretty good call. That movie is eye-opening and downright terrifying in some ways. I realize that the people in it are the extreme, but holy (pun intended) shite that movie is crazy.

Funny, when I was a kid me and my friend went to the movie theater in Baker with his older brother and their friends. I don't remember what we saw, but for some reason I wanna say it was maybe An American Tail or something like that. And his brother and them went to see a Freddy (NoES) movie. Well after ours was over, we went into their theater (there were only two there I think...maybe four) and I saw Freddy on the screen and was scared to death. I hated scary movies and that certainly didn't help. We HAULED arse out of there after we found them and told them we'd be in the lobby.

When I saw The Shining, I was old enough to know what was up with that bear and that dude, which made it all the more weird and freaky for me.

The opposite for me, I had no clue what the frick was going on there as I was young. But it was weird as shite and freaky to me as well. And yes, understanding it later made it freaky again.
