Hi all,

This is another thread inspired by one I read on another forum... this time I wanna know if you've ever been scared by a movie (or a book) that wasn't supposed to be scary, and if so what was it? It's been a while since that's happened to me, but I'll admit I was real easy to scare as a kid. It must run in the family though- my older brother used to have screaming nightmares about the flying monkeys in the Wizard of OZ, and I was even worse, there were episodes of Scooby Doo that scared the hell outta me. I am pretty hardened now though, I think the last non horror movie that I thought was scary was The Brothers Grim. If I had seen that as a kid, I would have been sleeping with the lights on for months.

"Waterbridge Down"

One of the most disturbing animated films that I saw when I was a kid. Great story though, just very violent and unmercifully 'real.'

YouTube- Watership down/The Omen

The scarest movie I've ever seen is "Pushing Tin". I was never afraid to fly til I saw this film. Now when I"m sitting on the runway, waiting for take off, I'm wondering if the air traffic controller has had a good breakfast, a good nights sleep, not had any fights with their spouse or kids, and any one of a hundred things that could be on their mind.

Violent rabbits? What the hell was that? I've never heard of that movie. I find it more disturbing than scary though.

Could it be Watership Down? There was a book by that name, and it got pretty violent at times (there are such things as evil rabbits).

Ugh. Yucky rabbit cartoon.

A couple years ago I saw 30 First Dates or something like that. Hit the fear nerve I have about losing my memory. My memory is already incredibly worse that anyone I know, and I'm afraid what will happen as I continually get older.

My wife was scared by that recent movie where the world freezes. Somehow that hit her fear nerve.
