I've never seen Salem's Lot but when I hear tapping on my window pane I get scared just the same:blink:

"Phantasm" at the drive in with my mom and brother. It was a triple play with "Ghost ship" and "The fog". I was probably 10 or 11.

I'm not sure what the first one was but do know it was one of the following three.

Dumbo – Because I thought his ears were cancerous and would need to be chopped off soon or he would die and if his ears were gone then he wouldn't be able to fly anymore and then he'd lose the very thing that made him so special and helped him to meet other animals and maybe become friends so he wouldn't have to be lonesome.

Bambi – His mother died, who unlike my mother seemed nice, what a loss. And such a shame to perish in a fire like that, an especially painful, anquished way to go. He couldn't have my mother though. Not because I was too selfish to share but because I cared enough about Bambi to not be cruel enough to punish him with her as a gift.

Sleeping Beauty – Maleficent. There are lots of scary things for a very young child to be frightened of about Maleficent but of all of them it was her ability to turn herself into a fire breathing dragon and send great walls of fiery flame shooting up everywhere that freaked me out the most - No, I don't want to get chased by any dragons, especially not a fire breathing one. I'm already a fire sign, I don't need to be on fire. Being set on fire is for somebody else. Like who? I don't know maybe my sister could have it.

When I read this and thought back to the Disney movies, you're so right some of these were scary as hell for a child:popcorn:......

Not the 2015 version..... The original & omg it scared the hooly dooly out of me... Watched it at the movies with my school friends & of course I had a damn scary looking tree right outside my bedroom window... I never got much sleep that night that's for sure!

Bambi - my mom took me to it, having no idea that Bambi's mom died. Apparently the damn fire wasn't scary enough. His mommy DIED. I was inconsolable. My mother was furious with Walt Disney.

Not sure of the very first one but I do remember that 1973 movie DONT BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. I watched it with my Mom. And I remember IT'S ALIVE about that baby, Rosemary's Baby, and I think it was called THE BABYSITTER?

I'm not responding to your post but to your links. I went to YouTube, watched a couple and love them. Thanks for sharing.

An interesting thing happened on the right of the YouTube page. A series of videos appeared posted by Bawdy Storytelling. OMG. I may be the last person to discover them, but I actually had to tell myself after an hour that I didn't have to binge watch all of them at the same time. :::fanning self:::

Given my age more than likely Rosemary's Baby........

House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price

I don't remember how old I was, but I was younger than 8 y/o and watched it with my sister. It shook me up.

da na da na.............
 

Jaws. I was about 8. It was months before I could take a bath without staring hard at the drain in case that shark figured out a way to swim up.

Katniss~~ :shark:

The Exorcist

I'm not good with time frames but I think somewhere between ages 7 and 9.

Now it makes me laugh if I watch it but back then...... :hiding:

Now that I think back on it, it must of been some movie with Vincent Price:popcorn:

It may of been Diary of a Madman.......1963 I would of been about 11 or so..

It may of been the Omen............

Yup, Rosemary's Baby :hangloose:

I don't remember the name of the movie but it's a well known one. And I didn't watch the whole movie because my mother didn't let me turn on the tv when she wasn't there.

But.....I was at home with a baby sitter and I decided to sneak on the tv. I turned it on at the EXACT moment this girl was spewing green goop out of her mouth and floating in the air over a bed. That cured me of turning on the tv without my mom.

I think I was maybe 6???

Sounds like maybe the Exorcist with Linda Blair................
