Yep, I'll agree with that. I wasn't a huge fan of the mutant-humans, but it was the cave/atmosphere itself that was insanely creepy
Indeed. I've been in a few caves and that portion revved up the scary freakout factor.

The Thing is one of the only films to ever give me nightmares (though I was about 8 when I watched it ).
From Silvermk......whatever number he is (sorry Silver ) Made me think, the one movie that gave me honest to god nightmares, was Pet cemetery 2. The movie was really hoaky, and as an adult I dont get it. But when that movie came out and I watched it, Sheriff Gus, after he died just scared the hell out of me for some reason. I remember being terrified of his neck wound mostly. But for a solid month he haunted my dreams.
SO! Now that I seem like a big ol sissy pants, lets share in the embarrassment eh? What movies,shows, characters, whatever! had scared you as a young one? Or an old one, either way, start spilling the secrets
Yeah that's crazy, I watched that movie recently and couldn't understand why it freaked me out so much. But it was when the crazed dad came back and killed the wife and son. If really got me for awhile as a young kid. Weird, I didn't think many other people found that part of the movie scary as a kid.
I still find, The Thing freaky. John Carpenter really made that movie eerie. The actors were top notch the story was amazing and the setting was perfect. Isolated, confused and I still don't remember who the THING was. Horror movie perfection. To bad they are making the prequel to the movie. The effects of the original were amazing and the CGI of the prequel is gonna be lame.

Thats the funny part, when you look back as an adult, and wonder just how exactly did that scare me so bad? Like I said with Pet Cemetery 2, Gus scared the hell out of me as a child. I saw it on TV a couple years ago, and thought the same thing....that terrified me? Of lame was I?

When I was around five or six years old I conviced the babysitter to let me watch Creepshow, a Stephen King/George Romero project with special effects by Tom Savini. There was one scene that involved a reanimated corpse bursting from the grave and howling for cake, which sounds funny now but gave me nightmares for weeks after.
Watched Creepshow again recently and it was just laughable... As K.C. said... "just how exactly did that scare me so bad?"

I think one of the only films I have had nightmares about was Rumplestiltskin (sp?) I was about 6 at the time and used to keep having nightmares that he would take me away.
Also the gas-mask creatures from Dr Who freaked me out about, still get shudders when I hear "Are you my Mummy?".

How is all I keep thinking. How can "adults" like that
In much the same way that "adults" can like playing with little toy soldiers I'd imagine...
I mean, let's be perfectly honest...both activities are pretty goofy.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I'm with FITZZ. We play with tiny little metal soldiers in a game which is pretty much filled with really smelly creepy people.
So it's like a social version of MLP, just without all the really weird porn.
Also, FITZZ gives me nightmares, to stay on topic. I wish I was kidding.

Its the tear tattoo isnt it? Makes you think hes a serial killer?
But no I wouldnt compare our liking tiny soldiers game to liking that cartoon. Its completely juvenile, and its about uber colorful my little ponies.....you know, little girl toys? I think the vast majority of their fan base is just smoking pot and watching it.....maybe tripping acid, but definitely taking some type of substance to keep it interesting.
Sides, our goofy toys, come with awesome backstories about blowing up gak and killing things and driving huge weapons of war. They are ponies meant for little girls. Thats like comparing Baseball to Ruby. Maybe even farther away then that how about bassfishing to rugby

Not wanting to go to off topic here...
My basic point was that both can be seen as rather " odd" from certain perspectives..." Big guns and cool backstories" not withstanding...if you plunk down a mini in front of Joe Everyday and tell him it's Warlord GratchGroovy and he's bad and uber killy...there's a good chance you'll get the same "raised eyebrow" that you'd get if you told him you were really into Pinky Pony ( or whatever the hell their names are)...
..Now, do I personally watch Ponies...No..but..people in glass houses and all that.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Now, in attempts to get back OT...I thought of another "thing" that, while not giving me any nightmares, did give me the "creeps"....
A short story called " The Boogeyman" by Stephen King that I read when I was young.

I recall an all night session of Quake 4 and Doom 3 with my friends at a sleepover...the trick was to do it on a night with a thunderstorm to give us the atmosphere...no lights either...we were all twelve and had snuck into my older brother's game cabinet while everyone was asleep...
I got a bit of deja vu when I caught my little brother doing the exact same thing one stormy night except with a copy of Dead Space...
This has become a rite of passage in my house...you cant call yourself a man unless you've spent a week having nightmares over a game meant for older teenagers...

Dark side of the moon scared the crap out of me as did aliens 2 when I watched it all alone at home in the middle of the night when I was a little kid.
Boy was it exciting to try and fall asleep after those...
The ring freaked me out. Didn't even know i was going to be watching a horror film going into the cinema.
So I had a nightmare from that. And then after a long bout of the Sims I had a nightmare with the ring mixed with the sims... very strange, picked up a wardrobe to move it and there she was! Hiding under it!!! That probably has to be the strangest nightmare i've had or at least will admit to...
My sister had nightmares for ages after watching white noise. I didn't really get it, it wasn't that scary was it?
We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.

White noise? Not really, but sometimes things just get to people.
And yea the Ring never gave me nightmares, but it did feth with me for awhile. I couldnt go into a dark room without turning on the lights for awhile. Though I blame Ju-on for the worst of it. Thats the original Japanese version, that was pretty scary, and THAT is what screwed up the lights for me. The ring was an ok American adaptation but for realz? Watch Ju-on

When I was young the original Alien scared me. After that it was not until years later that I saw a movie that really creeped me out. No Nightmares, and I think I was 19-20 but Event Horizon was creepy as all get out.

Tali'Zorah: I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
Commander Shepard: Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.
Tali'Zorah: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.
Garrus Vakarian: Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out.
