Want a balloon?

Do they float?

Ohh yes... They Float Georgie... They Float... and when your down here, with me... YOU FLOAT TOO!



Another case where the book was far superior to the movie.
 
There was a scene in the movie Hud where the drunk older brother hallucinates his younger dead brother's Teddy bear is talking to him. That always gave me a scare.

Saw those eyes everytime I stared into a dark room / corridor.

Also, the dummy from night of the living dummy was creepy as well. Not even gonna look it up.
 
The one that got me best was Scream. Sure, I was 11 or 12 at the time and shouldn't have been scared. But I thought it was gonna be a comedy so the first kill scared the living shit out of me. The rest of the movie was just boring.

Holy Crap, we must be about the same age. My Aunt took me to every horror movie at the drive in when I was a kid, and nothing scared me, but seeing this guy running around (and that noise he made) scared the living shit out of me for some reason. I had to leave the room, with my eyes closed. To this day, I still haven't seen the whole movie.

Conquer your fear. I bought it on DVD. The director, Dan Curtis, had another made for TV trilogy - Dead of Night. That one also had a scary-as-fuck third segment, and it came out on DVD a year or so ago. This thread reminded me to order it.

Definitely the one that stuck in my head, the noise and the unstoppable nature. Was originally a short story by the guy that wrote "I am Legend", Richard Matheson. It was an interesting read, slightly different but a must for those that this piece scared the shit out of. I found it on a copy of "I am Legend" as extra short stories.

I remember being frightened of Medusa in a movie I saw (I can't remember the name atm), but I was terrified that any second, she'd turn up and turn me to stone.

Fun little note in the annals of greek mythology; Medusa was once considered a beautiful woman, even on par with the Greek Goddess Aphrodite. So as it happens, the god Poseidon takes a liking to Medusa, and as gods are wont to do, takes her to the Temple of Athena and proceeds to rape the fuck out of her.

Right, so then after a few hours of that, Poseidon steps out to take a quick smoke break, again as gods are wont to do. Meanwhile, Athena appears, sees the raped Medusa lying on her temple ground, and being the gigantic bitch that she is, decides to then curse Medusa into the ugly creature with snake hair that she's normally portrayed as.

So, cut to years later, once again a god, this time Zeus, rapes another woman, this time a queen, just to piss of her king. King goes mad, tosses his wife and child into the sea, and if you've seen the movie, Perceus survives, and is then told to go kill Medusa-the-raped-and-disfigured. He does so gallantly, and chops her head off, stuffing it in a sack. Mind you, not the way it's portrayed in the movie; for you see, Medusa doesn't go all around the countryside turning people to stone, no, instead, she actually sought out comfort from the only two beings she wouldn't turn into stone on sight; her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, who were already snake-haired monsters with the added benefit of being immortal. (Medusa, obviously, wasn't.) So in one of the most misinterpreted, anti-heroic acts in the entirety of Greek mythology, Perceus walks into the cave where the three are sleeping, and lops her head clean off without a second thought. And not only does her head simply come off, but something else springs out as well; the god-horse Pegasus. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, as it turns out, Poseidon's parting gift to his rape victim turned out to be, yes, a motherfucking horse with god damned wings. Jumping out her de-cap-i-ma-tated head. So, giddy with his heroic venture, he leaps upon the horse-child of Medusa and Poseidon, and rides off to fuck around with its mom's head by randomly showing it to people just to be a twat.
 
"Videodrome": I happened to see a scene where a guy points his finger at another guy and his body starts to melt while he's alive. That gave me nightmares for a while.

I also got nightmares after watching some old version of "War of the Worlds". I was afraid to look down sink drains for some reason after watching that movie. Strange, because I don't recall a scene with a drain of any kind.
