This was started from another thread about something unrelated religion I think.


One of my favourite films from my childhood was Jason and the Argonauts.


This was my favourite scene because it frightened me in the same vein as the Dr Who's Cybermen, Planet of the Apes and The Blob ( I don't really know why that scared me).



Skeleton Fight Jason and the Argonauts



Also the 'Village of the Damned' also frightened me - I saw it when I was about six. This is how I envisaged Jesus Budda would have looked as a child.

What was the name of the movie with a young blind woman in a house with broken glass on the floor, name escapes me.

Chilling thought, help anyone?

It was either 'Wait until Dark' or "The Doll" Was Audrey Hepburn in it?

Uma Thurman was also in a movie called 'Jennifer 8' Could that have been it?

'IT' scared the hell out of me. I can't see a clown to this day without shuddering. I think it was because IT could shape ITself into anything that scared me so bad

It was a 60's movie, probaby the first one. Thanks!

Scariest fictional thing as an adult was a book. Stephen King's 'Gerald's Game' about a sex game gone wrong in a backwoods cabin and a woman left handcuffed to a bed. Scary, gruesome and with a real twist in the tail.

As a kid, probably Dracula movies, and on TV the Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone.

The Amicus anthologies were pretty terrifying.

Beyond the Grave and Tales From the Crypt.


Beyond the Grave was about an antique shop run by Peter Cushing where people who came into the shop met a nasty end.


Tales from the Crypt another anthology all scary:


Joan Collins is killed by a deranged Santa Claus

A zombie Peter Cushing removes a heartless man's heart


A man is brought back to life after he is embalmed and cannot die. His wife than sensibly starts chopping him up and he still cannot die.


All great stuff they used to be shown on Friday evenings- I found them more gory comedic than scary.


What really scared me was Psychomania - young adults commiting suicide on bikes and comming back Evil. It starred Beryl Reid. Fantastic.



Dracula, Werewolves and such like never scared me. Twilight zone did scare me- especially Shatner's 'Plane' one and 'The Hitcher.'

Great Stuff

Loved the Twilight Zone episode when Burgess Meredith played an avid reader who wakes up one day to find he's the only man in the world. He's so selfish, he just sees it as an opportunity to read to his heart's content and is deleriously happy. Until he breaks his glasses...

There was also a cracking Hollywood spoof horror story with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney and Peter Lorre. I've only ever seen it the once and can't remember what it's called but it's one of the finest spoofs I've ever seen.
