Movies that gave you nightmares as a kid

Transformation scene freaked me out. Saw that movie, among others...way too young. Thanks HBO.

Two of my honorable mentions are Gremlins and Critters.

 

I think The Elephant man was my earliest freakout memory. That shit burned in my brain and would not vacate.

The other, when I was maybe 6-7 yrs old was a b horror movie called Madman (Marz). The old farmer murdered his family and if you say his name above a whisper he would come and kill you. Well, were out camping sometime after seeing that and my brother and I left the campfire to go take a wizz. On the way back, my dear old dad jumped out and screamed MAD MAN MARS and started chasing us.

Good times.

 

Yeah, I found it and watched it there instead of hunting for my VHS copy. I didn't come to any great realization about death when I watched this as a kid, because I mean that I really was a LITTLE kid. I was like 3-5 years old when I used to watch it all the time. At that time, I was just scared shitless by the magnet and the AC. But I loved the magnet too- I would scare my older sister pretending to be that magnet. I'd run around behind her, making the sounds that the magnet makes. Always sounded like "Kink-arr-kee!" to me.

I know that one! That's called Small Soldiers. This is it, right?

Yeah, I watched it all through my childhood, probably until I was 10 at least lol.

 

Greetings, Alan Shut-up! I was like 5 when that came out- I watched it all the time. I probably watched that damn movie until I was 12 or 13.

 

It's alive ! and Jaws!

 

still a good movie today. the original of course.

 

Jaws and Friday the 13th

 

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland freaked me out when I was little

 

the wolf thing from the neverending story

 

Falcore!

 

Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre..and Poltergeist.

 

My dad for whatever reason, let me watch the Omen and exorsist when I was pretty young. And I was pretty afraid of being possessed specialy after the exorsist. I remember after the omen, I made myself, what I called my "damien stick" kinda of like a walking stick that I drew a cross on, and some other stuff. I was gonna use it to beat the shit out if damien if I ever saw him. LOL. Aahhhh memories.

 

I remember that movie! That evil witch always freaked me out, can't remember her name though. Isn't there several versions of that movie? I watched an animated one.

 

and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
that sh*t gave me nightmares for years

 

it (the clown), chucky the doll, and thirteen ghosts (came out in like 2000?), i was like 8 or 9, so it scared me lol

 

This movie also freaked me out as a kid. I was like 6 or 7 when I seen it.

 

The original The Thing.

I was a fairly young pup when it came out, and to this day is the ONLY media of any kind that actually gave me a nightmare bad enough that I awoke from.

Can't forget this scene either, Cruella's face probably gave us all nightmares, those devlish red eyes. One thing though, that crazy bitch can drive! Haha, the video starts 30 seconds in just FYI.
