Not because I found it too scary--just because I've never had the opportunity to watch it. <br /><br />Hm. For me, I would have to say Nightmare on Elm Street. I wasn't easily scared as a child, but that one got to me when I saw it the first time. It was such a relief to find a horror movie that I could buy into--I remember thinking. LOL<br /><br />I can think of plenty of titles that had an impact on me from my childhood, but none that I would say traumatized me really.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-12005615159823680492009-06-16T16:56:25.480-04:002009-06-16T16:56:25.480-04:00I was always good about watching scary movies...

As an adult, I feel The Shining is one extreme creepfest. Last summer, we stayed at The Stanley in Colorado upon which King based The Overlook.

Who says Disney is warm and cuddly?<br /><br />Kevin - so good to see you on here. You need to comment more often! I love the image of you leaving everything open and abandoned and taking cover!!HAHAHA<br /><br />Rhapsody - that movie haunted me. After I wrapped it up in my Netflix envelope, I had to cut it open and watch again. The movie was so well done. Soon after I watched the movie, my son got a tour of the Orlando Magic corporate jet, and when I saw the cockpit, I freaked out. <br /><br />Beth - they were bad monkeys! My daughter still doesn't like to see them at the zoo.<br /><br />Bumbles - Yeah, it ain't easy watching those 9/11 movies. The thing about Deer Hunter is that as awful as that one scene is, it is SO well acted. Its like who's who of acting. No in-flight movies for me (except To Kill a Mockingbird, which I rented from iTunes). Kindle all the way baby!<br /><br />Chartroose - then I guess you freaked a little with "It"? Talk about the epitome of bad clowns. That one put me over the edge with clowns.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-28189469041773327152009-06-15T14:09:11.810-04:002009-06-15T14:09:11.810-04:00Movie trauma.

I know how it ends so no thank you - I don't feel like traumatizing myself with the movie.<br /><br />I'll have to go back and watch the Deer Hunter though - I don't think I've ever made it through the whole thing - sections here and there. Maybe that's the way to watch it?<br /><br />Have a great trip - stay away from those in-flight movies - you don't want to end up with a traumatic one!The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-51989705670378987082009-06-15T12:42:57.972-04:002009-06-15T12:42:57.972-04:00When I was really little I got nightmares from the...When I was really little I got nightmares from the Wizard of Oz!

At one point I turned away and looked at the windows behind me and was sure that I saw, looking back at me, THE MUMMY!!!!! I scurried off to bed, leaving, for my parents to find later, the front door open and unlocked, all the lights on and the TV broadcasting into the now-empty room.
