OK, this election has been scary enough, let's put it on hold & talk scary movies. There use to be old scary movies on Channel 11(NY metro area) called "Creature Feature". When I was about 8 or 9, one freaked me out real good, it was called "Fiend Without a Face". It was an old 50s B SciFi/horror movie. The begining of the movie the thing was invisible. When it became visible it was a crawling brain & spinal chord(eats' what it is, hmmm). It would suck out your brain & spinal chord(kind of like politicians, oops, wanted to get away from politics! ). For some reason this movie scared the hell out of me. I wouldn't go to sleep in my room that night(every kid knows, the couch in the living room is a safe zone from monsters!)

There are parts of "Alien" that scared the snot out of me when I was young.

"Brides of Dracula", 1960 British horror film. It was on a double-bill with "13 Ghosts". It was the first horror film from England's Hammer Studios I had seen (I was 9 years old) and starred Peter Cushing as Doctor Van Helsing.

The one with that pinhead dude in it! Hellraiser?
oh and feirenheight 911

When Anthony Perkins aka Norman Bates stabs Janet Leigh aka Marion Crane "Psycho, 1960"

Not sure I was scared, but I sure was suprised

Almost forgot "House of Wax" 1953 in 3-D

Jaws. When the diver was next to the sunken boat and that head popped out!

I was like 8 or 9 maybe. We were in the base theater and I almost jumped all the way into my dad's lap. He thought it was hilarious.

The first Halloween. I saw it when it came out and I was 12. I watched the other day, in daylight(I'm 42) and I still had that feeling of dread. Really, the first of it's kind, and teh music alone would scare teh crap out of you.

Two movies

First - The Exorcist almost killed me. I didn't sleep well for weeks!

Second - that Alfred Hitchcock movie where some creature is out on the plane's wing and it is destroying one engine at a time. And when the guy closes his visor - and reopens it, and it's right in his face!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Terror Train with Jaime Lee Curtis.

Right you are, the actor wasa a young Captain Kirk, aka William Shatner

Favorite Twilight is when the lady killed her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooked it and fed it to the investigating po-po.

The first "The Thing" movie...of course, I was only 6 or 7 when I saw it - on Black and White TV - back in the 50s. That spooky weird violin music, wondering which door the monster would bust through, and the fact that we were in the middle of Cold War/Flying Saucer Fever as a nation didn't help - AAAARRRRGHHGGH!!

The lines I like best from it:

"What if he's telepathic and can read our thoughts!?"

"Then he's he's gona be real mad when he gets to me!"

"Can you shoot that thing?" (refering to an M-1 carbine)

"I've seen the movie Sgt York several times!" (Licking his thumb and touching the front sight)

GGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!

Dinasour movies... Dad would take me and my brother to the base movies when I was 5 or 6, my brother is 20 months older than me. I would hide my face on dads chest, lol. This is back in the late 50's...
