One Movie That Scared Me.

[bullet08]

"Year of the Dragon". 1985. I remember Chinese folks in NYC protesting against the movie. But the reality was just too close for me to go to China Town. I couldn't believe they put that movie out there. I wasn't in a gang, but knew a lot of Korean gang members. And few of friends lived near downtown Manhattan. Things I saw, things I heard about.. That movie scared the hell out of me. Year after the movie, we were in Chinatown buying fire crackers for the independence day. I almost shit myself with fire crackers going off everywhere. Never been to Chinatown after that.

Wizard of Oz when I was pretty young - still can't stand it. Otherwise, whether by design or otherwise, don't get too scared by movies and standard horror fare isn't my thing - but although not so much horror, Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects" is a guilty pleasure (as is anything with Mrs. Zombie). Captain Spaulding, like most clowns, is pretty scary.

Only a scene from a movie scared me when I was a kid and that was the boat ride from Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory

I simply can't abide modern horror movies. Way too much gore and graphic violence.

Gene Wilder scared the crap out of me as Willy Wonka

Better than Johnny Depp's creepy version.

E.T scared me when I was a little kid.

I remember being freaked out when the woman turns into a robot in Superman 3. Still kind of scares me haha.

Hereditary was a decent recent horror movie. Very cerebral in its execution.

I wouldn't say "scared", but rather it put me on the edge of my seat.

Not exactly scared but Silence of the Lamb‘s came pretty close the first time I saw it

I saw that movie with my grandparents. Now that was uncomfortable…

Yellow Submarine as a kid. The Green Meanies and the apple-dropping characters, and especially Nowhere Man scenes. As a pre-teen(?), Alien, in a theater--i had to go out into the lobby a couple times when they were crawling through the air ducts... Alien is a great favorite now!

 

[Chasing Embers]

I was too interested in special effects and the story as a kid but could never get invested in them enough for a scare. I always found them too predictable.

I saw a video taken at the Chicago show a few years ago where someone loaded a pipe with Captain Black Grape and lit it. Does that count?

Still never seen it, now I know I'll pass, haha (and my adult kids don't watch it anymore).

I almost have the same story.
That was a freakish movie for it’s time! My Chinatown experience was San Fran though.

Pretty spooky one here. Totally freaked out my oldest son when he saw it as a teen (14yo) and still to this day gets creeped out in tunnels like old ww2 fortifications
