Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

For me it was:

Alien (1-3)
Arachnaphobia

As a kid it was : Gorgo

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Silence Of The Lambs when I first saw it. I've only had one nightmare in the last year and it was the right after seeing Audition, which I don't think is coincidental.

As a kid, the movie that gave me nightmares was probably Night of the Living Dead. And Bambi. (I'm serious.)

Something About Mary--zipper scene

Has to be Nightmare on Elm Street. When I was a kid, I watched the movie then went to bed. When in bed, my babysister would walk down the hall and scratch on the door as a joke. Bitch.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Not a nightmare, but after I saw that Sharks thing on CBS (the only channel that worked), but I was afraid to go in the water for about two minutes, until I noticed that I was being a huge vag and went in.

And here I thought I was the only one. My older brothers used to love this show and it would scare the bejeezus out of me every time I watched it with them.

Jaws. When i visited my relatives in Long Beach for the first time when I was little and when into the ocean, I got scared shitless. Also the movie Saw. its badass, the guy from Robin Hood: men in tights is in it. "I'm going...to bleeed...to death..."

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

When I was really little the part in temple of doom where the guy rips the heart out of the other guys chest really scared the bejesus out of me. Gave me nightmares for awhile.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

I can't really watch most horror-type films because of my night-mare issues.

I don't care if it makes me a total wuss....the dreams I have are really vivid and annoying....and cold-sweat nightmares REALLY suck.


I caught a glance of a few scenes of Silence of the Lambs on a bus-trip a few years ago and they still bother me (basically just turn-around or not look and crank up my CD player).
I haven't even seen the whole movie (and don't intend to).


Before I decided to ban scary-movies from my life I saw Cujo in the 4th grade or so and that made sleep kinda difficult for awhile.


Some movies I'm okay with though for some reason.

Exorcist is an example of a movie that does NOT really bother me.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

not really nightmares,
but "signs" was pretty creepy

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

JAWS

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Although I didn't get nightmares from it, I was completely creeped out by the opening scene in The Hitcher, when Rutger Hauer is pointing a knife at the college kid driver and making him say "I want to die."

However, the creepiest scene I've seen in the past couple of years was an opening scene in an episode of the T.V show, The Shield, in the episode where two Mexican drug-dealing brothers are about to be set on fire by a rival gang.

Ewok's adventure 2, made for tv movie, I was probably 4 or 5 when I first saw it. I kept thinking that dragon was going to pull me out of my window and off to his cave.

edit: Okay, I'm embarassed to admit I was a little creeped out after seeing The Blair Witch Project on the way home from the theater. Thinking back now, that movie is just horrible, althought for some reason it seemed really original at the time, before we all got brainwashed by reality tv.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Prince of Darkness

I didn't look into a mirror for a week after I saw that movie.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

It's Alive. I stayed up with my babysitter to see it. That movie scared the crap out of me.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Bunch of vampire movies. The House of Dark Shadows, The Return of Count Yorga, Christopher Lee Dracula movies, even that Roman Polanski vampire comedy. Salem's Lot, the old t.v. movie.

Usually it has to be something that creates a paranoid atmosphere where the horror develops gradually and you suddenly realize what horrible deep poop you're in as the horror unfolds close up from ordinary things.

That's why vampires work for me and werewolves don't, at least on my deep subconscious. You can see a werewolf coming a mile a way -- he's a werewolf, after all. And if you have a second floor or a tree to climb up, you're fine. But a vampire could be the guy or girl you're talking to any place, any time, even one of the people you trust most in the world, and as you realize they're a vampire and about to make a snack out of you, it kind of slowly, by at first imperceptible degrees, morphs the whole world into an inescapable horror, because it turns your feelings of trust and safety and simple reality upside down. A straight out regular monster doesn't do that; he doesn't attack your reality from the inside. It's not monsters jumping out at you that's scary to me so much as people turning into monsters before you can realize it or really believe it's happening, right before your eyes. That little frisson of paranoia, and paranoid fears realized, is the best. Vampires all the way.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Saw.

WACO

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

The original Chucky movie, Child's Play. My younger siblings had those My Buddy dolls that looked just like him. Freaky stuff.

More recently, Event Horizon freaked me out with those hell scenes and the chick with no eyes.

"Fearless Vampire Killers" was a great flick but not at all scary.

Ernest Scared Stupid

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Hey, to a little kid, even Yogi Bear or something can probably be scary. Vampires were good enough for me, even in that movie.

It did have one or two of those moments where someone realizes that the person standing right next to them is a vampire. That's what goosed me. The creepy "Oh noes!" transition from fearing a monster is standing right next to you to knowing it's true.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

The last time I was genuinely scared by a movie was when I was 9, The Silence of the Lambs. I had nightmares that night. It's now one of my favorite movies.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

Never had a movie give me nightmares but I once had a nightmare involving the Vlasic Pickle Stork. I've also had nightmares involving huge snakes (one had horns), lions and kittens recently. They don't really make me fearful but it's definitely disturbing.

Re: Movies that gave you Nightmares
 

One of the corniest movies ever:

Kingdom of the Spiders, with William Shatner as veterinarian "Rack" Hanson.

I was about 8 when I saw it, had nightmares for a week.
