Name a movie that gave you nightmares after watching it..

It was Jaws.

I had a blue bedspread. Imagine waking from a Jaws nightmare only to find yourself half eaten by the blue bedspread.

Eaten Alive! About this crazy hotel keeper that kept a pet alligator and fed unsuspecting guests to it. Saw it at a driven double feature. While a B slasher movie the way they did the photography just caught you off guard every time. That alligator haunted my dreams for weeks, snapping at me from every dark space in my room. Keep your closets closed people, they are doorways to darker places.

Growing up in a home were the parents loved horror flicks, I suprisingly never had nightmares as a kid.....

...and then there was "Strangers" Holy ish! that movie scared the hell out of me! My wife had to wake me several times out of nightmares after watching that.....

Dawn of the dead. Zombie flicks have me running in my sleep allot.

OT: for all you creepy movie fans:


one of the most hardcore/controversial movies ever made...havent watched it so far because violence/rape/murder of small children isnt terrifying, its just discusting (and if ur a /b/ro you have seen enough of that stuff, the real version)

I've been debating on watching that one.

I was told about this movie by a guy who warned me: "you'll regret watching it"...but I watched it anyway. Not so much scary, just disturbing.

Several movies give me nightmares. They include movies that display life events that "could" actually happen. The Manson movie, the original Changeling and other moves about real life events scare the heck out of me. The real monsters in the world have the face of a human being.

good one.I remember being young and very scared watching this on my couch while i had the couch cushion in front of me and ducking behind it everytime linda blair did anything creepy....wich was most of the show lol.....all time creepiest imho....exorcist was the scariest film ever for that time period.

not like the exorcist but it too created some weird mental issue for me.

Not sure if it was meant to be a horror flick, but Fire in the Sky did it for me.

It came out when I was about 12 years old and since then I have been freaked

out by the "grays". I know the movie didn't depict the aliens in that classical appearance

of them, but DAMN, I still get freaked out just thinking about them.

www.imdb.com...

The Ring hasn't exactly given me nightmares, but I'd definitely say it was a head flipper.

The Magnetic Monster - but then I was 7 at the time.

I remember getting really freaked out by "The Ring". I watched at the theatre with my girlfriend and was totally freaked out all night. In fact, I don't think I slept a wink that night because I was staring a hole through the television in my bedroom.

The Wicker Man (The Original and not the crap re-make)



And a honorable mention to :-

The Changeling with George C. Scott where he throws the ball off the bridge, drives home and the ball comes bouncing down the stairs!

I thought people on WOW were immature...ATS takes the cake, so when you were a kid like 5 or 6 years old you didnt have an imagination?

oh yeah..i was taught how to read binary code and then moved on to work for the government by the age of 15 ..

But yeah...the ats section of the site has become a slight nightmare lately, its rather much cosier here in bts, i think ill stick around in here were i am able to rant at other people without being crucified for my opinion. .

YOU TOO!!!!!

I thought I was the only one who freaked out over that scene

I say the film that probably did it for me was Pumpkinhead. I was 10 when I seen that movie and 25 years on I still cannot go into a dark room with blinds or curtains open. Can't do it.

When I was growing up my Uncles made me watch movies like 'Child's Play'. I can't remember too much, but my Grandma said I used to wake up screaming and crying all the time.

The movie doesn't bother me too much anymore, though.
