is there anything you used to be REALLY afraid off in horror, which now u split your sides at?! i have loooooooads.

I watched Christine last weekend, which used to really scare me and now it just looks funny!!!!

I couldn't watch The Burning when I was a kid. I used to think it was about these loads of burn victims that become zombie like and, you know, take over the world or something. Bad burns freak me the fuck out (for years I was convinced that in Mad Max you saw what Goose looked like after he had been burned because as soon as Max pulled back that sheet I shut my eyes for a good 5 mins) so it was a no-no for my fragile little mind.

I also never saw the end of The Hills Have Eyes for years. I though that they were going to eat that baby for sure. I couldn't handle it.

SQUIRM - a movie about flesh eating worms that come through the shower head. I couldn't even touch the box when i was a kid, cos it had a demonstration picture on the cover. I hadn't even seen the fucking film - i was about 7/8 and used to cry insanely whenever my dad used to try and put me in the shower. I don't know when i grew out of it, but let's just say, looking back, i feel a RIGHT TWAT!!

Horror films used to always scare me... but now most of the time im not scared at all... and ACTUALLY laugh when people are killed

I've been watching horror films since I was thirteen - six if you count "Jaws." I should say I've been actively seeking out horror movies since I was thirteen. In that time, I have, like I think many of us, become fairly inured to celluloid terror.

There are some movie that suffer my jaded perspective very badly. The worst is "The Amityville Horror." That movie scared the FRICKIN' HELL outta me when I first saw when I was seven or eight. I just saw it again about three or four months ago, and that time when I wasn't giggling, I was dozing off.

What a difference two decades makes.

I remember I saw A nightmare on elm street 4 as a kid, now its funny as hell!

I don't recall there ever being a time when I was even remotely freightened by a movie. Even when I was a kid. I always knew that it was just a movie. I just found them deeply fascinating. I enjoyed the idea of a group being picked off one by one so I always found them fun. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

While many horror movies have gave me a scare or two, the only one to make a lasting impression on me was... An Americian Wearwolf In London(hey, give me a break I was only 5 when I saw it). For about three months after I saw it I wouldn't go outside if the moon was getting close to full. One of the more memorable conversations I had with my parents went something like this.

Mom: "Let the dog out Ken."

Me: (looking up at the sky and seeing a full moon)"Umm, I don't think she really needs out."

Dad: "Let the dog out now or you'll be cleaning up any mess she makes."

Me: (finally letting my fear get the best of me) "But I don't wanna end up as werewolf chow!"

Anyway my parents told me to either get over my fear or quit watching horror movies. That, needless to say, got me over my fear right quick.

cronenberg's "the fly." when geena davis goes to see jeff goldblum after he's started getting sick and he looks like pizza when you take the cheese off. it scared the shit outta me when he took out the pack of minidonuts and barfed on them before eating them, and then his ear fell off. caught the movie a couple of years ago on tv, and i couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it was.

Pretty much everything scared me as a kid, but now I am too much of a badass to be scared. I spit in the wind, I drink hot sause right from the bottle, anyone want to mess with me?

Childs play used to scare the piss out of me when I was a kid.
