The closest thing to scary I get is Dean Koontz. There have been plenty of times I've been really freaked out reading books.

I'd rather see blood and guts than sit on the edge of my seat. Doing that has *seriously* made me vomit before (pardon me).

2. An episode of Perversions of Science on HBO - the episode where the guy is stuck in a dream.... that was crazy!

3. The short story of The Boogeyman, by Stephen King (in Night Shift). My sister read it to me when I was 9. I still don't like to have closets open at night.

I love scary movies but don't really scare me anymore. The Blair Witch Project got to me and don't laugh but signs scared me so bad that I put the DVD out on my front porch I wouldn't let it stay in the house...

I usually laugh at the typical scary movies, but as a "young" kid, I remember being very scared at Wizard of Oz when the witches face was in the crystal ball, and as an adult, the one movie I can remember scaring me was "Play Misty for Me".

That said, I did literally jump out of my seat in the movie theater watching Jaws, when the shark came up when they were throwing bloody fish off the side.

The only two movies I ever remember giving a second thought to have both been mentioned here - they were The Blair Witch Project and Event Horizon. I saw both without knowing anything about them ahead of time, and I think that helped make them "scarier" somehow. Event Horizon creeped me out the rest of the night. Blair Witch creeped me out for the next week. I saw it the first weekend, before everybody was talking about it; my younger sister (14 or 15 at the time) went to see it later and I actually tried to get my parents to tell her she couldn't. She just laughed it off - didn't think it was the least bit scary. Meanwhile, I'm looking behind the shower curtain before I can take a leak, checking the closets in my apartment before I go to bed, etc. Pathetic.

My cousins scared the heck out of me when I was younger with Steven King and Freddie stuff, though I never saw the actual movies until much much later in life. The only two movies that I can remember actually scaring me were The Labyrinth(I was a kid and Bowie was freaky) and Jaws. The first time I saw Jaws I was on vacation, yup on the oceanfront in Long Beach; pools with deep ends and no lights still make me wonder.

That's funny CubDave, my older sister took me to see that movie when I was 7 or 8 and when that shark jumped up during that scene I ran out of the theatre! I had to call my parents to come get me.

I used to enjoy horror films, but no one else in my family does so I don't watch them anymore. I am surprised no one mentioned the "Saw" series. I haven't seen any of them, but from what I heard they were more gore than scare.

When i was about 12, Silver Bullet scared me so much that I had to turn it off and couldnt finish it for years. The other one that really scared me was the one where the phone keeps ringing and the killer is calling from inside the house...the original not the remake.

I cant watch scary movies unless my husband is home

I believe the movie you described is "When a Stranger Calls". The original version is so much better!

yes - yes! That one was very scary to me because I used to babysit all the time.

These days movies dont really scare me. I might get startled but most of them are just stupid. Saw I was good and yes, It was very scary

I remember when I was a teenager reading John Saul's 'Suffer the Children'. I was alone when I was reading it and got so creeped out that I called my mom and asked her when she was coming home. I didn't want to be alone!

out of the frying pan...
The line that haunts me (I think it's from a Dean Koontz book, but I can't remember which one) has something to do with the main character looking out a window at the night "and the darkness was looking back at her." I'm fine out IN the dark, but I still hurry past windows at night.

I finished reading Pet Cemetary at midnight. I was probably about 13 years old. I whipped the book across the room - lefdt my light on and covered my head with the blankets!
