Subject: Horror Movies you found scary as a kid but now....
So describe a movie that scared you as a kid, but you rewatched it and couldn't stop laughing at it.
What movie was Asherian so scared of? (Asherian talk in the third person)
It- Why?
Because I hate clowns. I Found this movie frightening , I had nightmares about it. I couldn't handle it. Every time I saw a clown I was afraid.
Then I became an adult, and was told. "Hey you should watch It."
"Err why?"
"You'll find out."
So I sit down and watched it. And laughed. I just laughed so freaking hard.
I couldn't believe it. I found Tim Curry as a clown freaking hilarious! It is truly a gem of how bad Stephen King Movies are. And oh boy the movie had the dumbest pay off. I mean the structure was good, and the child actors were surprisingly good, and then I saw the ending.
Talk about a buzzkill.
Really? Thats what I waited two hours for?
Spoiler:
A FREAKING SPIDER?
A GIANT SPIDER
I WAITED TWO HOURS?
FOR A BLOODY SPIDER
Thanks STephen King!
For extra laughs I decided to try the Stephen King Drinking game. Except using grass drinks. you know the drinks made out of grass? So it tastes terrible. I actually ran out and had to get mountain dew and mix it with a lemonade syrup. I mean you could do it with alcohol but you would be dead in 20 minutes :/ or you would run out of booze by the end anyway.
Anyone have any scary movies that you watched as a kid that now you watch it again and just laugh at it?

KAPISA PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN – A battalion of soldiers has unexpectedly and completely withdrawn from its Area of Operations after discovering a “spider-hole” containing a giant arachnid.
A squad of soldiers from Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion 4th Infantry Regiment were on the second day of a routine joint-patrol mission, searching for Taliban weapons caches near the village of Cirith Ungol, when Sgt. Vic Duhamel discovered a ten-meter hole bored into the side of a mountain.
A video shot on a helmet-mounted camera and obtained by Duffel Blog shows Duhamel and his clean-shaven squad poking at the hole while making generic and wholesome comments about America and brandishing pictures of the families and sweethearts they can’t wait to see back home.
At one point Duhamel jokes that it sounds like there’s some kind of animal down there, before being engulfed in an explosion of hairy legs. At this point the image becomes extremely distorted, although a large amount of gunfire and high-pitched screaming in English and Pashto can be heard.
Immediate pleas for help over the radio were disregarded by officers in the battalion’s Tactical Operations Center, who decided that giant spiders were not automatically declared hostile under the ISAF Rules of Engagement, and then peppered the patrol with multiple requests for information. Duffel Blog has obtained a partial transcript of the radio call:
Sgt. Duhamel: “Warrior Main, Charlie 3-2. We’re hearing a lot of rustling down there, like an animal or – AAAAAAAAAAAAA! It’s a giant spider! Stand by for a fire mission, danger close”
Watch Officer: “Ah, roger Charlie 3-2, this is Warrior Main. Division wants to know how big the spider is for their storyboard?”
Sgt. Duhamel: “I don’t fething know! Maybe two hundred pounds!”
Watch Chief: “A two hundred pound spider would be the size of a large pig. Big, yes, but not ‘giant.’”
Sgt. Duhamel: “Well however big it is just fething kill it!”
Fires Officer: “Charlie 3-2, Warrior Fires. Even a small horse weighs about nine hundred pounds. I think it would have to weigh more than a thousand to qualify as ‘giant’.”
Sgt. Duhamel: “Oh my God! Kill it! Kill it!”
Watch Officer: “Any station, any station, this is Warrior Main: does a thousand pound spider even sound realistic? Break. I’d be more willing to believe two hundred.”
[Unknown]: “It got Sarge! What do we do? Game over, man!”
Charlie Company: “Warrior Main, Charlie Main. A two hundred pound spider would be all legs. It’s probably at least three hundred.”
Executive Officer: “Warrior Main, this is Warrior Five. Just submit “375″, which sounds enough like an average of a real weight range that Division will accept it, but still be kinda blown away.”
[Unknown]: [In Pashto] “Bend over, Gulbuddin. You do not wish to die a virgin, do you?”
Battalion S-2: “This is Warrior Deuce. Actually Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered fossils of prehistoric spiders weighing up to 175 pounds, so two hundred isn’t totally off the wall.”
Watch Officer: “This is Warrior Main. Shut the feth up Warrior Deuce. Charlie 3-2, how copy? … Charlie 3-2?”
“They never had [Positive Identification],” explained Capt. Johnathon Cleary, the watch officer at the time. “When we later asked if was a giant brown recluse or a giant daddy long legs, they couldn’t even take the time to give us a proper situation report; just a large wet smacking sound, like when you smash a watermelon with a hammer, then suck out all the innards.”
After the survivors had returned to Forward Operating Base Tagab, LtCol. Joe Hemming, the battalion commander, ordered an immediate retrograde to Bagram Airbase.
“I guess we should have stayed away from Cirith Ungol, which apparently means ‘Pass of the Giant Spider’; but even when the locals told us that it really was guarded by a giant fething spider we kinda thought it was a mistranslation,” he explained. “My S-2 was convinced that when the interpreter kept saying ‘death will come at you with great hairy legs’ he was just warning us about the women.”
Capt. Cleary added, “In all fairness, the literal meaning was ‘pass of the bigger than all arthropod’, since Pashto lacks a unique word for spider or a superlative form of big. It also doesn’t help that ‘arthropod’ doubles as slang for ‘Jew’, so you can understand our initial confusion.”
Both Hemming and Cleary spoke with Duffel Blog while hiding on top of their desks with a flashlight and large baseball bat.
The spider has been tentatively identified by Army biologists as an arachnus gigantus, a monstrously large species of arachnid best known for ambushing wayward Afghan travelers and hiding under toilet lids, like the one in your bathroom.

I also thought Signs and War of the Worlds was scary as kid.
I was so scared by War of the Worlds. That I slept in my parents room for the next two years. Then I watched it again and find it funny. Oh no germs!
Reminds me of buffy the vampire slayer where the main villain had a dreadful fear of germs.
Signs I just found stupid now that I am older.
Mostly because the aliens couldn't open doors made from wood, and were beaten by wood and water. And yet for some reason they invaded a planet mostly made out of water.... What?

The Thing is the only movie that legitimately freaked me out ever.

I too was horrified by IT as a youngster. I watched it the other day and enjoyed the film, but wasn't freaked out by it in anyway.
The original Nightmare on Elm Street is another but my misses is actually terrified of Freddy so I won't be watching that to test if it causes wet pants anytime soon.
No pity, no remorse, no shoes

Aliens scared me as a kid. I think the movie would still have some good scares to it, but its too hard to get past the "Cowabunga dude" valley-girlish dialogue in the movie to take it very seriously.
Serpent and the Rainbow used to scare me when I was high-school age. I watched it a couple months ago...not very scary at all.

And that scene is Alfred Hitchcocks "Birds" Where the woman checks on some old neighbour only to discover his corpse all pecked up with his eyes gouged out. THAT freaked me out massively. I couldn't get that image out of my head. but nowadays it's just a guy with ketchup around his eyelids and isn't that believable with comparison to things like "Hostel." and "Saw" etc

Going back to when I was in elementary school, the following used to scare the living gak out of me:
-The murder scene from The Outsiders
-The psychadelic tunnel of death scene from "Willy Wonka" (whatever the movie was called)
-Michael Jackson's Thriller movie
All of which now would cause yawns....maybe I still think Thriller is a little creepy.

I have a bunch of series of movies. Nightmare on elm street, child's play, and gremlins.
The only movie I still can't watch and laugh is gremlins 1. Last time I tried I had night terrors waking up randomly screaming for like 2 weeks(I was 29) haha. Gremlins 2 NP gremlins 1 good god... It's still on my list of irrational mortal fears along with needles.

The Blob. the 1958 version. scared me when I was 5. An alien that eats/dissolves humans, and can go anywhere(venting, cracks, ect) Also Mars Attacks, 1996 version when I was 8. Don't think I slept without a light on for a few days.

Critters! That gak traumatized me as a child. I was WELL into my twenties before I was willing to put a foot down next to or dangle an arm over a raised bed.
I had nightmares of velociraptors and Imhotep as a kid from JP and Mummy. As an adult, I just love the movies. I never found Jaws scary (thought it was stupid), Exorcist made me yawn, Blair Witch I was bored and turned it off...yeah, haven't been scared of an actual horror movie until I saw Sinister. Feth me, that was creepy.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I remember the old TNT network having a marathon of William Castle movies. They're cheesy and campy as all hell, and when you're about 12 watching them alone at midnight they're really creepy.
I notice my posts seem to bring threads to a screeching halt. Considering the content of most threads on dakka, you're welcome.

The two movies I was most scared of as a kid were Scream and The Wizard of Oz.
I watched Scream recently and absolutely loved it (I'd never actually seen it as a kid but a friend used to tell me all about it).
I'm still terrified of The Wizard of Oz though, my sister had a school play of it and I had to leave after about 5 minutes.

Watch the Return to Oz.
you'll be even more scared of it.
Trust me its terrifying but kind of awesome.
