    Don't know the name...
         it was in a jungle
    Dense jungle
    Tiny path people were creating
    to get through the jungle 
    They walked through a big area of HUGE spider webs.
    panicking and screaming they were...
    and then a HUGE spider dropped down and bit one person
    on the back of the neck, fangs big as a bat
    Big holes created by the fangs
    blood spewing out, screaming, and all tied
    up in the spider web were the rest of the people.
         me?
    I was young
    and screaming in fear as well...LOLOL
    totally scared the (....) out of me...

    I feel the same Nice. But it is no less mind-bending for me than having lewd and lascivious sex thrust at you from every possible quarter 99 hours a day. Especially if you happen to be riding your motor-scooter through challenging traffic, or are deeply immersed in household accounts, at the time.  This post was edited by Stemmata949 at February 5, 2018 9:16 AM MST

    Probably "The Omen". 

    I remember being terrified of one called "Prom Night" when I was very young. And "Cujo" was pretty scary, too.

    I really like "The Omen," too. I think a lot of its scariness comes form the music Jerry Goldsmith wrote for movie. He won an Academy Award for Best Original Score that year.

    My favorite music part of the movie ~

    If you listen to the whole link, dig that crazy whispering!

    Definitely! 
    It's one of my very favorite music scores to any movie I've seen. One of the very best, too. It surely adds to the movie!

    George Romero's original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead"


    And also way up there on movies that have scared me are:

    the original 1963 "The Haunting" (not the 1999 remake)

    "Cloverfield"

    "The Innocents"

  • I agree with a couple of your choices. The original "Night of the Living Dead" presented an atmosphere much like a nightmare that was impossible to escape from. "The Haunting" presented such fear and foreboding with an insinuation of a living evil.

    Agreed!
    Those are two big reasons why each of those movies scared me. (And still do, actually.)

    Hey, if you don't pay your exorcist, do you get repossessed?

    I might be uncertain about exactly who/what "God" is and not buy into all of that, but the devil is still terrifying.

    And that movie poster image you posted from the "The Exorcist" --  so classic!! Perfect in every sense of the word to me.

    Hi Zack! I'm looking again at your answer -- last year, I didn't comment about "Exorcist III" - - but that was a really scary one for me, too!

    It was 3D, something about a big frog. When that frog jumped into my face I spilled my popcorn. What a disaster! Fifteen cents wasted!

    Hey, would you believe I found it? Dated 1953. The frog scene is at 1:12:30
