The first jump scare I ever remember as a kid was watching Jaws for the first time when they are inspecting the hull of Gardeners boat and his head rolls into the opening of the hull. I think I shart myself that day.

I cried when the shark died. Not sure what that means?

When I was a kid, Children of the Corn was scary, but so were the omen and the exorcist..


The scariest movie of my childhood was "The day After", though.

That one kept me up at night.

I think I shart myself that day. Me too! I remember my knees physically buckling during that scene when that head rolled out. Also The Amityville Horror gave me night frights for a long time, esp if I happened to be awake and looked at my alarm clock and it said 3:15.

Amityville had so much gross stuff in it.

The Day After is big time, but I don't think people would be scared of it like that anymore,. But Children: "HE WANTS YOU TOO, MALACHI!!!!!"

I agree. It wouldn't be scary now. And younger people wouldn't understand why it ever was.

I rarely find actual horror movies scary. I also dislike most pure horror flics. It's just not my thing. Once in a while a great one comes along that is actually plausible. Clowns are creepy af. Demon clowns in sewers that morph and swallow little kids are just silly. Serial killers are scary. Serial killers who wear hockey masks and can apparently distort to time to catch people who are proceeding at a dead run while they shambles at a snails pace ate not scary. Global viral outbreaks are scary. Outbreaks that create brain eating undead are not.

I do like a good zombie movie, though, as long as it doesn't take itself seriously.
