Forgot about that one. Used to come on Halloween night.

My parents watched Silence of the Lambs at our cabin and I snuck into the loft and watched it from up there. That one scarred me. I was around 8 years old at the time.

My sisters (7 & 6 years older than me) got a copy of The Exorcist when I was about 10 and I watched that with them. I was at a private Christian school that was certifiably insane, though my parents were unaware of exactly what we were being taught. That movie, coupled with the brainwashing I was receiving at school, scared the ever loving shite out of me.

My cousins watched "It" one night when we all had a sleepover (once again, the youngest by a pretty wide margin) when I was about 5 or 6. Hated clowns ever since.

Halloween (I was 6 when I accidentally saw part of this movie) and Friday the 13th (I was around 8 when I saw it).

Amityville and Exorcist.

For Mrs. Midnight, it's The Shining.

Straight horror and slasher aren't our cups of tea, generally.

I do enjoy some of the classic Lovecraft stuff, things with a science fiction tone like the original Alien and some properties that might broadly fit the genre of "horror" - but just, straightforward, "scare the shite out of Ace"? Not interested.

For example, "frick the ads for Paranormal Activity movies" - frick them right in their arses.

Even as a kid it was mainly the stories that were real, those were the worst.

Always thought freddy, jason, mm, pinhead, leatherface etc were fun characters. New type of universal monsters. On the playground in the 80s, it was fun conversation.

Things like "the hitcher" bothered me because it was about a common everyday type of occurrence. Just..picking up a random hitch hiker. No supernatural..no demonic forces..just, a mistake in character judgement.

I have been trying to find the name of a monster in a boys closet movie.

not the one with paul walker

i remember the father getting mad saying his son is lying. then one part the boy hits his father with a wooden bat thinking it is the monster. from the 80s or 90s

any ideas?

Pet Semetery

Not a movie, but Who's Afraid of the Dark used to scare the Hell out of me on Friday nights as a child. Gave me more nightmares than I can remember.

Wasn't that on SNICK (Saturday Night Nickelodeon)?

Anyway, actual horror movies didn't really scare me a lot as a kid, but I remember Large Marge from Pee Wee's Big Adventure freaked me out when I was little. My mom also rented Deliverance for me when I was way too young, and that definitely scarred me for life
