What frightened you as a kid?...

Now that I think about it... it may be either that one, or the one where the Piranha have wings... and they fly out of the water at a beach, where peeps are having a party... isn't it? On that movie poster, they don't seem to have wings. Other than that, I think we can just YouTube or look them up on IMDB, as it might even be the same one. In Mexico, I believe it was called "Pirañas Voladoras" (Flying Piranha).

Yeap. I was fearing I was wrong. I saw THIS ONE you mention, and Piranha 2: The Spawning... in the 2nd one, they have wings.

 

There was this one oldie song that talks about the wind laughing or something outside a window... I must have misinterpreted it as a kid and I would picture this lady laughing at side the window at night as a child.

I cover and never look out the window at night till this day. Windows are scary.

 

I'm pretty sure it's that movie. I didn't know they're making a remake of that movie. Should I watch it? SCARY.

 

No remakes, I believe... just the original. I remember people running towards the camera on a beach. I believe they had just gotten mauled by the flying piranha.

Is this a sequel? answered - apparently NOT a sequel? Why the 2 behind it, though?

Now, this remake, as you mention: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464154/ - Piranha 3D... I'll watch ANYTHING with Elisabeth Shue.

 

I know you answered but I always liked that poster

 

For 2 weeks straight I had dreams where I would be running around my apartment complex dodging a T-Rex. I would wake up sweating and my heart racing after it would spot me and chow down.

 

Lived through Hurricane Carla (Category 5) as a toddler, though I have no specific memory. I remained scared of bad weather for a long time thereafter.

If a hurricane like this hit Houston again, it would be underwater.

Deckard probably remembers...

 

This. I couldn't even make it halfway through the movie. After that, for at least the following 5 years, I never took my eyes off the drain while i showered.

 

Goodness thanks for reminding me of that

My dad had (still has?) this record and it creeped me out every time I had to look at it.

 

JAWS.

Saw it when I was six. Screwed me up for years. I wouldn't even get in a POOL.

 

X Files theme song and it still does.

 

Do I remember? Oh, yes I do! My father took the family to the Santa Rosa Theatre on Telephone Road to watch a flick, Dad being addicted to movies, during the freakin' storm. We drove home after the film, somehow, and the tree outside my window had fallen into my bedroom. Happy days!

 

Don't know why but this intro always bugged me as a kid

Ah, the Santa Rosa! We used to go there regularly.

 

There used to be some furniture store here in Houston called "Plantowsky's"..

Their commercial was a shot of a white room and then they would flash a bunch of different furniture really fast. Then the furniture would stop changing and it was a couch, with a dog on it. Some creepy female voice would call to him and the dog would bark and jump off and run off screen.

That would scare the living **** out of me. I don't know why. Perhaps it was the voice, or perhaps the dog barking but it didn't look like he really barked.

 

No kidding? One of the most enjoyable times I had there, and certainly the weirdest, given the venue, was watching The Mahavishnu Orchestra play there, with Peter Frampton opening. It was so loud that I found myself looking up at the ceiling sometimes, wondering if the old place could handle it.

that guy scared the crap out of me even when I was 21! Robert Blake as the mystery Man in Lost Highway.

I was also scared to look at Boy George or any of the members in KISS, to me they looked like bizarre space aliens that would kill us or something.

 

Witchiepoo!!!!!

 

that IT Clown mother ****er destroyed my life as a kid.
