What is your earliest memory of a film (or scene) that really, really scared you. Mine was an old Drive-In movie, The Legend Of Boggy Creek. The opening scene of the boy running through the field at dusk, just reaching his home, and hearing a 'bigfoot' scream. It haunted me for years!
A long time ago at a drive-in in Nevada, the movie was "The Andromeda Strain." The scientists were in a lab at Flatrock, Nevada, and racing to stop a nuclear explosion. I put two and two together and realized the whole state was about to blow up. Even when the bomb didn't go off and my mom said "It's only a movie, for heaven's sake," I still knew what a terrifyingly close call it was.
I havenβt seen that movie in years.
I remember the legend of boggy creek. that movie scared the piss out of me. I think I was 8 or 9 when I saw it. MY memory is of the bathroom scene.
Mine was Watership Down, the Owsla attack scene and the prophecy scenes scared me a lot as a kid!
No reason to scoff so hard at Big Foot sightings since many solid citizens have seen and even photographed them, plus several times people have been killed by them, tractor tires pulled off heavy equipment in remote national forests, etc.
I'm totally annoyed/bored with constant naysayers who think if they've not seen something it can't possibly exist.
Several times when I was out hiking in remote places in the middle of the night, I heard something roar. It's not anything you can describe..like the roar of a male gorilla but so loud it seems impossible, and the noise just keep building and building until you think your ears will burst.
It only happens if I'm talking, or otherwise making noise.
This happened to my entire family when we climbed a remote hill at 3 AM to see a comet, but it happened to me when I was only camping with my ex in national forests.
By the way, don't bother to troll me..I'll just block you. There seems to be as many trolls here as the alt-right, if I post something people don't agree with.
mine is freddy kruger. i don't remember which movie it was, but for years, i never was scared of any other scary movie bad guy, just him. i found out when i was in my late 20s that when i was 2 or 3 i had a babysitter who, when we got in trouble, would lock us in a room with freddy playing and tell us he was gonna get us. my mom found out when she had 2 come home early from work one day
@Randy5151 i am 32 now. i can watch freddy now, but even tho i know why he scares me, i still get a slight fear response. my heart rate goes up, i get jumpy, all that. but its not so bad, i like being scared and none of the other horror movies have any effect on me any more, so if i wanna get the chills, i go for freddy
Jaws that little boy obliterated on that yellow raft and then the stampede of people afterward which was just as terrifying with people pushing aside little children.
@Randy5151 I understand that some of that was real panic. They did not give her any real idea of when they would jerk her under the water or how much they would jerk and drag her.
It certainly sounds real. It is very unlike much fake movie shrieks I've heard before.
It is absolutely blood-curdling. .
I never understood the fear that Jaws created. I actually laughed when I saw the shark, mostly out of disbelief. Maybe growing up in the shark infested waters of Australia had something to do with that!!!!!
The Exorcist. I was 12 and my mother had dropped me off at the theatre to watch the movie. I was alone when Regan turned her head around 360 degrees. I had nightmares for years afterwards.
