Oh hell yes. Saw it with a friend and had to drive home alone. Had to talk to someone on my phone all the way home. And when I got home and opened my car door, there was a very unexpected and large German Shepherd right there waiting for me. I admit it. I screamed. Loud. Which totally confused our neighbor's very sweet dog (she had gotten out by jumping a six-foot fence during fireworks and apparently was just waiting for someone she knew to recognize her and take her home.) I have never been able to rewatch it. And I'm okay with that.

The movie that haunted me was "Psycho"... that shower scene was graphic. To this day, I cannot take a shower when I'm alone at home unless I lock every door - front door, bedroom door, bathroom door, etc. And that was about 50 years ago when I saw this movie.

Just reading through all the movies that scared us as kids got me thinking. Last house on the left (the newer remake, not the 1970s version) is mine. I was totally not expecting the rape scene and when it never seemed to end and the camera never turned away, I was horrified. I had nightmares for weeks. Very disturbing. That is the first movie that came to mind for me too. That was so disturbing. I really wish I had never seen it.

For me it was "Ordinary People." I was in my 20's, and newly married when it was in theaters. At the time, I was just beginning to realize that I had grown up in a very disfunctional household, and that my mom was probably NPD.
The character played by Mary Tyler Moore was so like my mother, it was startling, and Timothy Hutton looked and acted like one of my brothers. I started crying 10 or 15 minutes into the film and sobbed all the way through it. My DH and my BFF who were sitting on either side of me thought I was crazy. I've never watched it again. I was very traumatized by the fact that a movie about such a horrible person would play like my daily life had been. It actually did help me gain the strength to step away and look at my family in a whole new light.

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this one: Secret Window with Johnny Depp. I can't say it was horror but it was the creepiest movie and stuck with me for years!

Mainly because I look like Johnny Depp in that movie about 90% of the time lolol...bathrobe, glasses on, same hair, lying on the couch. DH affectionately calls me "Secret Window" sometimes.

Mine is Sleeping with the Enemy with Julia Roberts. I can't imagine living a life like that. Scared to death if you are going to be abused from day to day and not knowing what will set the bastard off.
That movie has stuck with me all these years. My dh lived a life of abuse from his father, so it really upset him too.
Horrible things that could happen to me in real life scare me way more than the boogie man type movies.
Boy in the stripped pajamas was one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen, and I agree that The Mist was just freaking wrong! Nothing in it really scared me, but that ending! Ugh!

There's a very old movie from the 60s called On the Beach with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. It's about a US sub crew that ends up in Australia after most of the rest of the world has been destroyed by a nuclear war. The Australian people are waiting for the fall out to come their way and then they will likely die, too. That is one hell of a haunting movie. I saw it on TCM in my late twenties, and I still get chills when I hear the song "Waltzing Matilda," which was woven into the score through the whole thing. I'm just about to watch this on Netflix

That one is on one of the pay movie channels at the moment. My husband who hasn't seen it, asked me to describe it, and "bizarrely creepy" was all I could manage.

I have a male friend who likes Sci-Fi movies, so we'd go to the movies and the rule was he'd go to see any film I wanted to see and not complain if it was a 'chick flick" and I had to do the same with Sci-Fi. So this was his pick. I was OK with the Sci-Fi part but this was full on horror about half way through I said to him "If just one more person removes their own eyes I'm leaving" I wish I was kidding. Then Sam Neal appears bald, naked and with hundreds of cuts/burns all over him and blood streaming down his face...that's when I said to Al "I'm not kidding, you are going to have to sit through at least 10 girl movies to make up for this" I didn't even watch the end, I had my face hidden on his shoulder. This one is mine too. It scared me so much. We were living in Germany at the time on an Army base there and I went to see it with my husband. I swore I would never watch another scary movie after that. A few months later, when my husband was deployed, I was invited by a friend to watch a movie at their house. It was this freaking movie. I unfortunately didn't leave when I found out what the movie was and I stayed to watch, knowing I would be totally freaked out. Afterwards I had to go home to my house, with my tiny baby, alone. I hate that movie!!

- There was a Lifetime movie years ago with Valerie Bertinelli as the sister of a lady who was killed by her husband. I still remember the scene where the police sprayed that stuff that makes blood stains show up, around the house. At first they didn't think there was any evidence, but then Valerie's character got up during the night, and lo and behold there was proof that blood was smeared everywhere! The walls were glowing in the dark! -Last weekend DH and I watched "Slumdog Millionaire" for the first time. It made me think twice about how I use water at the kitchen sink, and not throwing away food (even the heels of a loaf of bread). We have friends from India who travel back there for months at a time to minister to those in that type of living conditions. -I was babysitting the first time I caught several minutes of Hitchcock's "Birds" and every time I see a big flock of birds sitting around, it reminds me of the movie. Last year I watched the whole movie, and it wasn't as bad as I expected. - Soylent Green- I happened to watch it last year. My stomach still feels a bit queasy when I think of it. Oh my the luminol (sp?) scene was scary. I still remember it clear as day. It was based on a true story

This. And I am a scary movie lover - my sisters & I have a Scary Movie Nite every Friday the 13th. Still can't watch this one. The Strangers is another one that got me. Watched it once. Can't watch it again. And any movie that has a rape scene or a man beating his wife are ones that while they may not traumatize me, definitely stay in my mind. What made the Blair Witch Project so scary? I remember hearing all the fuss about it and being curious, but I could not bring myself to watch it because I get scared easily. For me, it was the fact that it could happen. I mean, the likelihood that the janitor from your school would haunt your dreams w/his fingerknives is a little farfetched. Scary, for sure, but not likely. The storyline for Blair Witch involved 3 college kids filming their trek into the woods to debunk an urban legend. Kids camping is obviously plausible, so what happened in the movie could very well happen in real life and that's what scared the bejesus out of me. Same thing w/The Strangers. And Cujo, for that matter.

An Eye for an Eye with Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland. It's old now, and it's been years since I saw it, but I still get a knot in my stomach thinking of it. Mothers worst nightmare right there.
I don't usually watch horror/scary movies. I don't like to feel scared. Blood and gore doesn't bother me to much, but I can't stand suspense, and if anything bad happens to an animal, I'm crying, and I'm done, not watching it.

I check reviews of movies pretty closely before I go and I don't ever do horror and most suspense. I also don't do torture. The last movie that fits this thread is The Revenant. I knew there was a bear attack, I listened to DH and some other people who said "it wasn't that bad". Apparently they are crazy. I walked out of that movie right before the bear went in for the second attack. I now have a pretty severe bear phobia, to the point where I bought bear spray last year. A friend who I walk with from time to time saw a bear in the fall a few hundred feet from where we walk and I won't even go into the state forest any more by myself.

The more recent texas chainsaw massacre. I guess it was the 2nd one in the early 2000s, they might have remade it again for all I know. I won't even watch a commercial for anything like that. It's weird, when I was a teenager I LOVED scary movies. I can't even stand the commercials now.

I make a real point to avoid watching any movie that I think will upset me. Movies, for me, are about relaxation and enjoyment. In fact I'm purposely avoiding even reading any other posts in this thread. I don't even like to read/hear about movies that are the type to upset me I totally agree. I think I have a problem where those things will run through my brain forever. I can remember stuff from all through my life. If I see a movie once I can remember most of it. So to have something like that rolling around my brain is very draining and anxiety building for me. So I pass. I need fluff movies. Real life news is enough horror for me.
