My father loves horror movies and when I was little, I'd sit and watch them with him. "Dracula" scared the living daylights out of me. Seriously, I had nightmares after watching the movie and sleepwalked, stating, "Dracula, don't get me!"

"Night of the living dead" To this day, because of the memories that stayed with me as a child, I can't watch this movie. Let's just say I couldn't sleep for a while. Thansk for sharing!

Anna, was it one of the Hammer Horror Dracula movies? Christopher Lee did look creepy as Dracula. I think a lot of the effects still stand up to this day too.

I remember me and my Aunt watched 'Night of the Living Dead' - because she loved horror movies. And we kept saying why aren't they running away? LOL. Cos in the end that's what they do. It's a good movie, but we couldn't believe it when the black guy punched the hysterical blonde woman - we started giggling. It was such an extreme reaction LOL.

Oh I loved all of the Hammer Horror movies! They don't make a good horror film like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Witches, and let's not forget Quatermass and the Pit!!

I used to sit on my own at night in my grandmother's living room, in my grandfather's rocking chair, under the crochet blanket, sucking my thumb and jumping out of my skin. But I loved every scary moment of my Hammer Horror era.

I haven't seen that many of the Hammer horror movies - they're only randomly. I've seen a few of the dracula movies and frank - i watched a great documentry on them the other day though. It's called history of horror. I reccomend it - the entire second show was dedicated to hammer horror.

Steve,

Wow, I really never talked anyone else that ever experienced those things too. As a child I thought it was a demonic attack and stuff because it seemed so real. I never told anyone about it until older when I realized there were medical explanations. PBS wanted me to be in their documentary about it but then I thought, na...that is not what I want to be known for. What exactly happens with you when experiencing night terrors or paralysis?

Like you, I still cannot see that movie, 'Exorcist'. Another movie that kind of freaked me out was, 'Angel Heart', did not like all the voodoo stuff.

When I used to get night terrors, I'd wake up sleep walking and I'd just be hysterical crying and everything seemed warped or wrong. This is going to sound crazy, but things seemed either too big or too small - kind of like Alice In Wonderland.

I'd never met anyone before that had suffered with it - then my friend started suffering from anxiety and she started suffering sleep paralysis as well. I'll have it and it'll feel like I'm screaming for someone to come and help me, but I can't move - sometimes I can't breathe - sometimes I don't know if they're dreams or real. They really freak me out though, and if I have one - I have to get up and calm down for about half an hour, if not I just go back to sleep and keep having them. I've had up to four in a row before. If you look back at lots of artists work they used to think it was demons sitting on your chests - now they believe that your brain is awake but your body is still asleep. I dunno, but they're very scary. It's that feeling of not being able to move and you feel like you're using all your strength just to wiggle your toe or something and then you snap out of it.

I find I usually get them when I'm overtired or vice versa. I felt better knowing my friend had them LOL - it just made me not feel as scared about them. Though when they're happening - you can't help but feel terrified.

Sounds to me like you were suffering from 'petit mal' Steven. Grand mal, is full blown epilepsy, petit mal is a form of epilepsy. I suffered from it all the time as a child.

I would see huge fingers banging together in front of me but they would go from big and fat, to long and skinny. This used to make me feel really scared. My friend who had full blown epilepsy sees a boat that grows big and small.

I always got these episodes when my ear problem flared up or I had a cold which was all the time as a kid!

Okay now I am blabbing and it has nothing to do with which movie scared me the most as a child.
