Cheesy movies that freaked you out.

The Evil Dead

For me it has to be the Evil Dead, the original 1981 version!

The poster really freaked me out as a child (attached)! I used to really wonder what went on in that film. Later I saw it and it was quite funny but very gory.

The thing that really freaked me out was the Omen music. Years later I found out what the lyrics meant and they were genuinely satanic.

"Day of the Triffids"-A goofy early 60's horror movie that freaked me out on the way home from the theater.My older brother and I watched this at an Air Force Base theater-we had to walk thru a feild with some trees and plants in it-and in the dark Looked like those TRIFFIDS in the movie-and we both were "scaring" each other on the way home-was kinda fun though-I beleive the first Sci-fi Horror movie I watched at the movie house.And this was a movie where the plants were alien-carried to earth on a bad meteor storm.Plants instead of "animal" or human type monsters-that that also made it more spooky.

I have to agree with A440...

On "Trilogy of Terror" That doll was friggin freaky chasing Karen Black around chattering and swinging that knife.

The other one that freaked the hell out of me was Twilight Zone "Twenty Two" with Arlene Sax (Room for one more, honey).

I was just thinking of that damn doll. That movie freaked me out as a kid, but I had to watch it every time it was on tv. Thanks guys for coming up with the name. When I saw this thread I started googling, but I couldn't remember the name. I kept coming up with Triad of terror in my hazy head. Thanks again, now I am going to have that freakin' thing in my head all day. Whoa, I think I just saw a doll go running by, sh!t.

Horror movies

The one that did it for me was The Fog (not the recent remake). It always scared me, as a kid, when they talked about lepers in church and I had a mental image of them. When I saw them in that film they were just as I imagined.

In Invaders from Mars, the two parents who spoke decently to their son and were kind and giving, scared the hell out of us. No kids at that time had ever seen anyone with parents like that. When the Martians changed the mom and dad into typical 1950's grouchy abusive parents, we all breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course our fears came back with families on TV like The Andersons and the Cleavers. What crappy parents! They didn't even beat their kids!

Oddly enough, it was a Martin and Lewis comedy, "Scared Stiff" that gave me nightmares when I was a kid... the scene with Lewis sitting in an antique chair in the haunted house, with arms that came from behind to grab him, for some reason that image stuck with me and scared me when I was very young. I even got scared of some old luggage in the attic with handles that resembled the covering on the antique chair arms in the movie...

I could watch Twilight Zone, or the original King Kong (with people getting torn apart) without blinking and eye. Leave it to Jerry Lewis to freak me out, lol.

Halloween scared the crap out of me for years since we had a pot smoking babysitter that let me watch it when I was young! I still can't sit on a couch without looking behind it in case Michael Myers pops up.

David & Chad Thanks for the Chills!

I actually got chills when I scrolled down to the pictures of the Doll Zunis!
I can still recall the dolls feet tapping on the floor as it ran around the apartment! Oh, and when she thought she killed it in the oven, and like and idiot opened it to make sure it was dead. When that darn Zunis jumped out and got her neck! I love the ending with her waiting for her mom with the knife, and she had the Zunis Doll teeth! Great special effects for the time period.
I wonder these are out on DVD. Google here I go...
Thanks again for the memories!

Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - the original versio

Kind of creeped me out, and other people I knew. I think it was Charlie having to see what happened to the other spoiled kids that was kind of creepy, and the oompa loompas, and Gene Wilder is kind of strange the whole time. The 1971 version crepped me out that I have yet to see the Johnny Depp version.
