Another post gave me this idea. Is there a movie that scared you as a kid? Can you watch that movie now that you are older? For me it was Arachnapobia. It scared me as a kid and I still can't watch it now.

My cousin was terrified of Arachnophobia too. Not a horror movies but Total Recall and Predator scared me. Now prepare for this... Gremlins! Also Stephen King's "It" and pretty much anything with classic gray aliens.

"It" scared me as a kid too. I can watch it now but the clown in the sewer drain didn't help the already developed fear of sewer drains as a kid. I used to think I would fall into them and wash away haha.

I always thought horror movies were fun to watch, but jason freddy and mr mike myers never scared me...strangely. Chuckie never scared me, (I never seen him attack a kid so I had no reason to be scared). however although all those scary people didnt scare me, the crazy lady with the hair covering her face from sleepy hallow gave me nightmares. If you've never seen it she had long gray hair that she wore over her face kind of like samara from the ring, but she was also chained to a wall for some reason and extra pale, I never seen her face, but for some reason i thought she was going to get me

Oh that's nothing! What really scared me was OMEN. I don't know if you know that movie, but it's the movie that I'm still afraid of till now, there's just something creepy about it because it has the possibility of being real. I still am afraid of the Omen till now.

Ok, talk about feeling old lol. The Exorcist did it for me. I saw it when I was 11 and being A) Catholic, and B)Having an attic set up like the one in the movie-I was scared for years that the Devil himself was in our attic. I only recently saw it again back in 2005 when I was 33, and I tell you-it still scared the pants off me! Anora

My mom would tell me after I watched scary movies I had bad dreams. I used to be not aloud to watch them but me and my brother used to sneak and watch them. They don't seem to bother me now though.

Mine was Friday the 13th. My father used to make me and my sister watch the movie so that we would not be scared. He did this to get us out of the fear. But I am 30, and I am still scared of this movie.. I am very scared of every horror movie, no matter how old it is..
