I kinda liked saw right until "spoiler alert"

He stood up and walked out the door.

Up until that point I thought it was a bit different. The rest of the saw films were just torture porn.

Jaws, first time I saw it I refused to have a bath for a month, and I still don't swim in the sea to this day.

Candyman, bees.....nuff said.

Nightmare on elm street, I firmly believe my insomnia was caused by that as a kid.

Hellraiser, Pinhead saying 'we'll tear your soul apart' still gives me the heebie jeebies.

No horror film has really scared me. I watched Childs Play when I was about 8, never liked dolls much after that, but my love of horror films stayed with me.

I love the Hammer films, I have them all on DVD, and when I want to feel like a little kid again safe with my Grandparents, I watch those.

I remember watching The Ring (Asian Original version) about 5 years ago. Enjoyed the film, switched everything off to go to bed, threw the remote on the sofa, walking out the door, and the TV turned itself back on again. Shit a brick!

Scared the shit out of me as a kid, I remember watching it, then having to go to the ice cream man and walking along the garden wall as far as I could so I didn't have to go on the ground.

It wasn't really a horror film an I was really young.

A 'freind' had all the videos on the nasty list on VHS ( yeah we are talking a while ago ) but it wasn't the nasties keeping me up.

The church was great, but I don't think it was on the nasty list. Susperia and in deep red were good but my friends all time favourite was Necromantic.

I nearly got pneumonia lying in a bath of cold water and ice to let him have that authentic cold corpse he wanted.

My favourite horror movie ever is either maniac cop or Outpost (love the zombies in uniform) when is some one gonna man up and make a nazi vampire film?

I agree, when the guy trips and goes up the escalator and it walks out the bottom of the tube station.

Watched that clip on Film 82 with Barry Norman when off school sick, didn't dare leave the room to go into the kitchen for lucozade ( in a glass bottle ) for fear of that "hairy motherfucker" leaping out from behind the cellar door and ripping my throats out !

Horror doesn't seem to be as scary as it used to be but as a teenager I was a bit of a rumster! I'd meet with a few friends, have a couple of cups of coffee laced with mushrooms or a tab and we'd all go and watch whatever was showing....

The Exorcist scared me to bits along with a few others but Bonfire night was awesome!

Absolutely Nightmare on Elm Street. I'm not sure who used to get hold of them but myself and friends watched tonnes of horror when we were around 12-13 and they scared the shit of me! Broadly speaking the horror style in general is too slick these days but there are exceptions!

Not a horror movie but for me, it was the 1960 movie The Time Machine mainly because of the Morlocks near the end of the movie. They used to give me nightmares as a kid.

Jurassic Park was another one too. I still remember that nightmare I had where I was at Asda with the family shopping and my mum was about to be attacked by a giant raptor.

I couldn't sleep a wink in my bed that night because of that nightmare

Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Omen scared the shit out of me. Oh and when the head rolls out of the sunken fishing boat in Jaws...... I still remember the whole cinema seemed to scream in unison!

Can't for the life of me understand why I watched them over and over again lol

I remember getting that on DVD for my mum for Christmas a few years back. When Susan gets "possessed" in one scene, my older brother walked in on that bit and said "fuck that" and walk straight out of the room lol

Same here. For some reason, I can't recall having any problems with horror movies when I was a kid. Sure one or two may have startled me at one point but not enough to give me nightmares

Nightmare on elm street was the main one for me.

Spent many a fearful night lying in bed as a nipper expecting Freddie's clawed hand to creep out from under my bed!

The exorcist shat me right up as well when I was around 8 or 9.It was really scary at the time but just looks naff now!

I used to love staying up on a Friday night to watch "The Deadly Ernest Horror Show" to watch the Universal classics. Those I could handle."

Zombie Flesh Eaters for sure. In fact most Italian horror films (especially Giallo films) used to bother me.

Any Freddy Kruger film (my nan had a Freddie Kruger poster on the other side of the door so every time I slept I imagined him coming to get me.

House on the haunted hill scared the daylights out of me too.

I can't watch horror films to this day as I get nightmares

I highly recommend Braindead if you've not seen it already.

Another early film from Peter Jackson.

This is down to personal opinion of course but I reckon it's a lot funnier than Bad Taste.
