Discuss whatever movies scared you during your childhood here!
As a kid, not very many movies scared me. Most movies that people found scary as kids never fazed me at all. For one, Secret of NIMH, which most children were scared or disturbed by, never fazed me one bit. To be honest, NIMH was actually one of my favorite childhood movies. But there was one movie...one movie...that would scare the living daylights out of me...
...and it was Gremlins.
My parents had me watch it when I was 5 (because they didn't know any better), and it scared me shitless. It wasn't so much the gremlins themselves or the things they would do, it was their deaths that scared me. All of their deaths (or almost all, it's been years since I last saw it so I only remember a few of them here and there) were extremely gruesome and gory, and most of the time I found myself hiding under my blanket and quivering in fear. I would then go on to having nightmares from those deaths.
So what childhood movies scared you the most, and why?
