Does anyone remember what films scared them most when they were young? I was only about 10 or 12 when I saw House of Wax starring Vincent Price. I was scared stiff for years after seeing that. Still watch horror films to this day!

Film Set Shooting......live Ammo....why?

There are two films I was scared by, and love deeply as an adult.

One was 'The Haunting' based on the novella by Shirley Jackson, and the other was 'Dead Of Night', a portmanteau film - four stories contained in the main film.

Both are black and white, not a drop of blood to be seen, and they both scared me witless, and I still love them today.

I recommend both highly.

More TV show. Alfred Hitchcock, just looking at him scared me never mind his TV shows, but then again to young to really understand the strange story lines.

I can't remember cuz being the eldest meant i stayed up til 9pm, whereas the others were in bed by 8. Sadly this meant i always missed the late night horror film. I did once stay up to see the beginning of The haunted house on the haunted hill. I got to see the first 35 mins or so.Luckily that was enough, it almost produced brown underpants!!

Vincent Price movies certainly scared me as a youngster ( The Pit and the Pendulum for one example I recall, and something about Masque Of The Red Death, not sure of exact title).

I was petrified by Vincent Price in 'Fall of the house of Usher' when I saw it aged about 16 and it would still scare me now. The other film that terrified me was 'The Shining'.
