When you were a kid, what scene scared you?

I was just a little kid, but one scene scared the high hell out of me. My parents took me along to see The Deep, and it was the scene when they were trying to scare them off by performing voodoo on Jacqueline Bisset. That freaked me out!

The bit in The Mask where he puts the mask on the first time.

Because the mask was offensive to crazy, green faced superheroes, which Jim Carrey's character obviously wasn't?

The ending of Pit and the Pendulum.
That creepy lady in House on Haunted Hill.
Various moments of the original Haunting.

When you were real little, was there a scene from a normal movie that scared you?

I thought you quit?

Anyway, I was thinking of the first thirty seconds of this particular clip. Seeing that on a big screen in surround sound when you're only four years old stands a good chance of freaking you out.

I just had to reboot. I'm still rebooting.

The Rottweilers in The Omen. Gave me a fear of dogs for a while. That can be hard to deal with if you're a dog-lover like me.

I remember this one made my jaw drop when I was a kid. The scene was the first experience what the movie was like, I didnt see it coming.

I always remember, it was Easter Eve... the egg coloring was done with and my father was in the living room watching a late movie.
It was The Fly (the original). And that final scene in the spider's web terrified me. I had a bad night.
A bad memory associated with what should've been a happy time. (What was that movie doing on then? Maybe it's what they put on after the Ten Commandments.)

And then there was the head popping out of the sunken boat in Jaws!

I want to say when I was about 7 or 8 I saw The Matrix for the first time and something about Neo getting the tracker sucked out of him scared the hell out of me. I had never seen anything like it.

I heard a story when my mom and dad saw it. The head bobs out the hole, and she screamed so loud & so suddenly the guy in front of her went down in his seat, then turned around and said "Lady you scared the hell out of me."

The scene in Signs when the alien walks past the birthday party.

What scares me is reading about scenes that scared people when they were little kids... which seem to me like I just saw them in the theater a few years ago!

Just like the thread title Im trying to remember being scared by a film bad when little......my mom said I cried and was scared during the dogfight in Lady & The Tramp

My mom said she had to carry me out of Snow White. I kind of remember that! I was a toddler and it was the wicked queen & magic mirror that got to me.

Arachnophobia gave me arachnophobia. Also I watched a scene in the remake of the getaway, a guy hanged himself while another guy has sex with his wife, I found it disturbing, still clear in my memory and I haven't seen the scene since I was 7.

Damn! I watched this as a kid! What a mistake!

I wish I had been a kid when The Mask was released.

Thank God, someone on this board who is close to my age. As for scenes that scared me as a kid, the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz terrified me as did most of the 1963 film The Birds...especially the scene in the attic.
