I myself remember being quite scared of 'Return to Oz' and then I somehow saw 'The Omen 2' and was really scared of it. A few Disney cartoons unsettled me a bit as well smile

As a child we were not allowed to watch scary movies. That would never happen these days!!! As a matter of fact, the first scary movie I remember was one of the Halloween movies...in highschool... How sad is that?
Hitchcock's Pyscho was definitely one for me and to this day I STILL peek through my fingers during the shower scene...lol...

The Dark Night of the Scarecrow did it to me! My mom said she was really sorry that she let us watch that one!

I was very very frightened by a movie that I think was called "The Bloody Hand"... sometime in the late 1960s, when I was just a little girl. I'm not sure if I have the title right, and I haven't seen it since. All I remember is a dark, brooding movie that showed a close-up picture of a bloody, dripping hand... the hand made me so frightened that I insisted that my dad and I leave the theater. The only time to this day that I had to leave a movie theater because I was scared of the movie! *AJ*

Dianne - I still love Psycho - that's gotta be one of the best movies ever made. I love Hitchcock. Never heard of that movie A.J.
Conniem - I think they could've made the scarecrow much scarier - he's amazing in the comic books.

We were watching TV the other night and my daughter actually saw the movie "Christine" for the 1st time. Considering the movie was made in 1983 (I think) and she was born in 1992...(besides being horrified that she thought it made her old - yeah all of 18) - anyway she actually thought it was funny what people were so scared of back then. She didn't find anything horrifying about the movie and I remember seeing it back then. It's funny what was so scary back then can be so funny now.

I never found Christine scary in your daughters defence LOL - I think it works extremley well as a book, but it can't adapt well into a movie - not that I think the movie is comical. Horror was much better in the eighties, you should sure your daughter some classic scary movies smile

I actually liked the book as well. The same with the movie Cujo, better as a book - not so much so as a movie. Sometimes the scare gets lost in the transfer to film.

Yeah, I agree - it's very rare you get a good book to movie transaction, I think a lot of Stephen King's movies have worked, such as Carrie & Misery - I think Cujo is brilliant, but it's more disturbing and upsetting than scary, mind you I thought the book was more upsetting than anything else - I think I sobbed my heart out through the entire second half of that book LOL

I think the Cujo movie for me might have been different with a different female lead. When a lot of the movie is centered around one thing, like the car... I thought it needed a stronger actress. I can't think of the woman that starred in it, even though I can see her face vividly.
Carrie and Misery - I definitely agree.

I personally prefer to read the book first then see the movie. When I see the movie first then read the book, I find myself skipping through the book trying to find "pieces" of the movie - strange, I know...lol...
