A Giant Walrus!!

The Backwards Man

So I'm lying here watching an old Sinbad film and, quite frankly, it is terribly silly. I remember watching the same film as a kid and being absolutely terrified.

Is there anything that really scared you as a kid that you look back and laugh at now?

Never ending story
The wolf in that scared the **** out of me

Does it say "ex minister for health" under her when she's talking?

The movie adaptation of Stephen King's "It". Scared the bejaysis out of me as a child. Watched it recently and it's a load of rubbish.

The Backwards Man

I shouldn't really say this but Wonder Woman used to scare the hell out of me as a child too. She's probably the reason I am still single.

I think when you watch the first part its creepy but when the evil is revealed at the end and its a f*cking

spider that is killed by catapults and kids

whatever fear the first part ever held is gone never to return

Round the twist.

Used to love it when I was a kid but it terrified me.

Awesome theme tune too!

The dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park, the bit where it opens out it's frills scared the crap out of me.

Schnitzel Muncher

I once dropped a giant turd that resembled a Walrus when viewed at the correct angle.

I have pics if you are interested, OP?

stefan idiot jones

The Evil Dead when I was a young teenager was a bit jumpy with the bird under the trapdoor.

Bought the DVD a few years ago, I must have been a twat
all those years ago, appalling effects.

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

darby o'gill and the little people with the vanshee near the end.

terrified to hell by that thing as a child but looking back on it and seeing how **** the graphics and that were just makes me laugh

FatherLen

the stargate movie had me shitting my pants.

Labyrinth freaked me out, watched it a few weeks ago and it was funny how unscary it was. Still pretty dark for a kids' movie though.

LordSutch

Cybermen (in Doctor Who).

That banshee caused many the nightmare, i can tell you!

The original 1933 version of King Kong scared the bejazuz out of me as a kid and I still get the heebe jeebies when it's on.
It's the mixed feelings of be scared of him and yet being sad when he dies that I couldn't resolve and that made me think way too much about the film so that I built up a lasting impression of it that still weirds me out.
The new versions of the film I can ignore with ease but if I'm alone in the house and the original version comes on I have to change channel.

Ghostbusters: Zuul, the giant hell-hounds, the ghost in the library, the god from the other dimension, the angry slime in the bath, the evil ghost nanny, the undead criminals.

And Janine, the secretary, was scarier than all of those put together!

I was shown 'Watership Down' in school when I was about 5 or 6. Scared the bejaysus out of me

gramar

Jaws in the James Bond movies and 'V'.

I watched it last week, I still find it as unsettling and uncomfortable as ever. The animation is haunting.

Jaws used to absolutely have me terrified when I was a nipper! If it was on the minute the music came on I was out the door quicker than shít off a shovel

Urquell

the Gorn from the original star Trek. Filled me pants, now hes a guy in a rubber suit.

I remember watching Ghostbusters when it came out first and the opening scene in the Library with the old lady ghost reading the books. When she turned a bit evil and Dan Akroyd, Harold ramis and Bill Murray leg it, I nearly did the same out of the cinema!

Gave me a right ould shock :P

Gulliver

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Kali ma... Kali ma... Kali ma...

I ran away and watched that scene through the curtains... from outside the house!

herisson

The evil witch in Snow White used to scare me

So did Jim Carrey when he played The Mask

Wattle

Jimmy Savile. My kid instincts were right.

It's uncanny how the main one looks/sounds like Bobcat Goldthwait.

Riddle101

I used to watch that Most Haunted tv show, and there was this episode where they visited a prison and Derek Acorah talked about an evil spirit that roamed the prison who was threatening to attack some of the female members of the cast. Cue a load of shouting and screaming, and Derek getting possessed:rolleyes: only to be brought back to reality again. Looking back know, I definitively laugh at how gullible I was.

I love the way these powerful, supernatural beings absolutely require you to open the window for them. What that little vampire could achieve for himself with a screwdriver and some basic house-breaking skills.

NothingMan

The Outer Limits always creeped me out when I was a kid. haven't watched it since but I doubt it would have the same effect now.

Without getting into too much of a debate on what are of course fictitious legends, but the whole thing with Vampires is they cannot come into your home without being invited in. So the legends were kids 'crying at your window' etc.

Then we'll say that extreme good manners and formality was their downfall. :P

Grotbags from The Pink Windmill :P

You really are old :eek:

I can't really remember any movie/tv shows or other media that terrified me as a kid, but I distinctly remember my auntie laughing her head off at me the first time I was brought to see fireworks. I was bawling

Ahh not really. The film would have been on the tellybox when I was a wee nipper in the 60's.

Being an 8 year old girl at the time...eh, no. If I'd had any lesbian tendencies she'd have scared them away. :pac:

Some of my siblings watched this on TV one evening. Afterwards my parents found them in the attic fashioning stakes
