How did “The Wizard of Oz” not make an appearance? There’s a whole range of things there to scare the bejeezus out of children - the witch, the tornado, the monkeys, the trees … everyone I know was scared to death of at least one element of “The Wizard of Oz” (not to mention “Return to Oz” - holy shit).

Looking for Mr. Goodbar, was one of the most terrifying non-horror films I’d ever seen. Especially since I saw it when I was a young and, rather impressionable, gay boy. Knowing that the psychopath was gay really fucked with my head - as well as the moral of the story (some party girls get murdered) ; and of course the strobe-light finale of the film in which Terri (Diane Keaton) is stabbed to death, in what appears to be stop animation, only to have her death mask of a face be the last thing we see as the movie fades out.

JA at MY NEW PLAID PANTS gets it right for me with REQUIEM FOR A DREAM.
That movie left me reeling. I saw it twice in the theater. The second time an ambulance was called. For real. That movie almost killed somebody in front of my eyes.

LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR is a movie that I was always too afraid to watch. It came out when I was a kid at a time when my mother was divorced and dating so the idea of her potentially meeting a psycho seemed a little too real to me. Once I was old enough for that not to be an issue, I still didn’t want to watch it because it seemed so damn depressing.

MIDNIGHT EXPRESS traumatized the hell out of me when I saw it on The ABC Sunday Night Movie as a kid. And SOUTHERN COMFORT was really upsetting to me back then, as well. I must’ve seen that one on cable and I remember thinking it was too scary to sit through. I credit both of these films with instilling me with a deep fear of travelling anywhere outside of my comfort zone of New England.

And SAFE is a movie that’s usually catagorized as a drama but seems like horror to me. I felt creeped out for weeks after watching it.

For me… one word: GUMMO

Whatever semblance of sanity I had after surviving ET, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Requiem for a Dream and Permanent Midnight… GUMMO blew them all away with sheer WTF-ness lol

Ken Russell’s The Devils–nothing supernatural, but scary and dreadful. (this needs to be on DVD!)

The Jonathan Demme/Oprah Winfrey movie “Beloved” is an awesome and thoroughly devastating ghost story. The opening scene is a dog being flung around the room by ghostly hands until it slams against the wall, causing its eye to pop out. The concept of a baby’s ghost returning in the flesh to claim the love (and revenge) it feels entitled to is perfectly executed, while the other characters’ stories of slavery and hardship are equally mindblowing. Unfortunately the movie was soft-marketed as an ex-slave love story in order to rope in Oprah’s audience, and because of that nobody knew exactly what to make of this movie. At almost 3 hours, it’s a long, satisfying, totally insane movie that I will always admire. You’ll never look at Thandie Newton the same way again…

Tim Roth’s THE WAR ZONE. The camera is unflinching as it forces you (me) to watch a family get ripped apart from within, innocence destroyed and the desperate acts of a girl reduced to the actions and reactions of an animal. Leaving the theater, I felt as if it was ME who had been raped.

I would say that as a child I always found the original CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY quite frightening, especially when the chicken gets its head cut off during the boat ride. The whole plot is very sinister and dark using deception to find the right heir to this factory where children seem to disappear or meet grisly fates if they are rotten.

I can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view…
