I've mentioned this before, but seeing Suspiria at age 13 in a theater really freaked me out for days (or months, I dare say). It's been very rarely since that something in a movie has scared me or grossed me out (it had its share of both), at least in any lasting way.

Prior to that, I saw the Haunting when I was home alone around age 8, and stupid me wathced it with the lights out. All I had to do was think about the booming noises, or the whispery voices and I wouldn't be able to sleep. Oddly enough, the bulging door didn't register at the time, but lord knows that's a freaky moment when I see it now.

I wasn't allowed to see horror movies as a kid. I specifically remember not being allowed to see Jaws or Alien. (But the winged monkeys scared me, as you can't run away from them.)

I did see Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D and Jaws 3 in 3D in the theaters, and thought they were both goofy.

Still haven't seen any of the Nightmare on Elm St. movies, despite having the same last name as the killer....

I never really watched horror movies, and as a child I was scared by Grover, the Flying Monkeys, Puff the Magic Dragon, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Sound of Music.

I haven't seen Audition though. While I may be pretty hardcore about scary movies, I know my limits and something tells me a movie that freaked Rob Zombie out is going to be beyond them.

Yeah, I haven't seen it. I've seen clips, but not the entire movie.

I've only seen the MCR video based off of it. That's eough for me, thanks. Not really a fan of horror movies - I think I saw Them as a wee kid, and then Evil Dead and Lost Boys when I was 12(?), but nothing in between, and I never really got a taste for them. I mean, E.T. freaked me out in the theater, I think my parents realized that I'm not so much cut out for actual horror/suspense.

Juliana is me - I really don't enjoy seeing gore onscreen, so the majority of horror movies are a no-go from the beginning. The only ones I really like are things like The Others which are just good creepy stories, but for the most part I just don't bother with horror at all.

(Blair Witch did nothing for me beyond seasickness. I really couldn't figure out why three people walking in circles for an hour and a half was supposed to be terrifying instead of yawn-inducing.)

For me, Blair Witch's terror escalated throughout the film. The fact that you couldn't see what was out there really got to me. That final image of the one guy facing the corner of the basement just freaked me out completely.

The stupidest mother I've ever met rented Night of the Living Dead and The Shining for a sleepover I had with friends at age 7. We correctly giggled at the excesses of Night then put in The Shining. The other boys got bored and started talking about sports or whatever. I didn't.

Nightmares for years. I finally forced myself to watch it again as a senior in college, with a bunch of friends. I sat curled up and shaking through the whole cathartic process, and felt much better afterward.

When I was about three or four I saw a commercial for some TV show or movie... there was a woman in bed, and she looks up and there's a skeleton standing in her room.

That freaked me the hell out, and I had nightmares for years about that.

I remember seeing a movie on tv when I was in my teens (maybe? somewhere around there) which was about a young blind woman in a house I believe by herself. I don't remember too much about it, but I do recall an image of her filling up the bathtub to take a bath but not knowing that there was a dead body already in it. As the water filled up the tub, it got redder and redder, and she had no idea it was there. Really creepy!

I think the idea of someone fucking with an unknowing blind person really gets to me on a visceral level--Wait Until Dark really creeps me out in its Alan Arkin vs. Audrey Hepburn moments.

I had nightmares about the Dr. Phibes poster.
