That movie was just bizarre and disturbing, not scary.

I loved Damnation Alley. More Sci-fi than horror, but I thought it was cool!

I guess you never had an attic with mice in it, then.

ANy of you guys see "Mother's Day"?

Was a Troma production. Just bought the DVD. Saw it long ago and thought it was lost forever. One of my favorites. Not scary. Just funny and gory.

Favorite lines from it....

"I'll go get the Kodak!"

"You boys have made your mother verrrrry prouuuuuuuuuuud!"

"Queenies out there...I just know it!!"

"When you know what you know...you ACT ON IT!"

The earliest movie I can remember that scared the crap out of me was Equinox. I was eight years old.

Next after that, Jaws came out when I was thirteen.

I used to love the old John Carpenter stuff... Halloween, The Fog, etc. After that, nothing of note until Nightmare on Elm Street. I though Friday the 13th was absolute crap and I laughed all the way through Phantasm.

Later on... Poltergeist was interesting.

Best of them all? No question... Alien

I have read John Campbell's classic short story, "Who are you?" as it was translated into Russian (At Wikipedia I found a correct English title: "Who goes there?"), and I have heard that there is a film based on it. I couldn't believe it's possible to make a movie out of that story, until I saw it on one of the first VCRs in mid-80s...

Carpenter is a genius.

Hmm. Wikepedia is a usefull thing, I found out that there was another film made in 1951 based on that story.

"Phantasm" was a lot of fun and very entertaining. It had IMO a very novel horror theme. And one HAD to love the Cuda!

"Blood Beach" was a good one also. Lots of gore.

And "Fright Night" was a cool vampire flick too.

But it was "Aliens" that made me shat in my pants.

The Boggy Creek film had the same effect on me too. I also remember seeing The Fog, Jaws, Carrie, Halloween, Christine, The Car, and Salems Lot.

Anything that is a Sci-Fi Original Picture is usually pretty scary....

for the people that fund them.
