The Movie The Birds

[Cantw8]

The Trilogy of Terror movie with Karen Black and this guy caused more nightmares than I can remember.

Oh yeah.... that was the little voodoo guy that chased her around with a knife cutting at her heels????? That scared me too

That happened to me in Juarez one night. Very scary.

We get migrating birds here that swam in areas; they make lots of noise and cover the power lines; I always think of the birds. Still creeps me out.

I liked the old Blob; I saw a remake and it was really stupid. I should find a DVD with the original.

Another one I remember being creepy was one where 2 girls are baby sitting and make prank calls saying "I know what you did" or something like that. They call a guy that just killed his wife and he comes after them. I think that one has been remade too.

I'm feeling old now knowing that even the remakes of these movies are old now.

Night of the Living Dead

and

Invasion of the Body Snatchers...

Halloween, The Exorcist, and Nightmare on Elm Street.

My husband and I love horror movies, and we often laugh inappropriately during them. We actually find most quite amusing. I will admit though, The Shining still scares me.

To the OP ---


Yes, tonight we too watched The Birds in its entirety --- first of all, I couldn't believe HOW LONG it took to get to the bird scary part -- around 50 minutes. Husband and I remember seeing bits and pieces of it when we were kids. Notice no musical score either. ANd it was a very vague ending. It just stunk. I even shouted to the television set, "come on and scare me!!".

But I read on Wikipeida "The Birds" that a 2009 remake is in the works.

Zalansky ---

Yes, I remember that movie --- don't be afriad of the dark too..and very well, I've seen it several times and it always scared me. Haven't seen it in about 25 years now and would love to see it again.

Thanks for the memory and the Amazon excerpt....

Oh no...a remake?????

Yep, the birds freaked me out, as did The Blob.

I also remember a movie that was about barrels of radioactive sludge being dumped in the ocean and breaking open at the bottom. The sludge oozed out over the bones of dinosaurs/monsters that came out of the water and terrorized the town.. I know it was cheezy, but at 6, it scared me to death. There was this scene, where students were playing a prank by balacing a bucket of water on a door, and guess who came through the door.

My all-time scared and freaked me out movie was "Jaws". I still get a little freaked about going in the ocean...

 

[CowboyCO]

Just found the title:

The Horror of Party Beach (1964)

It was a horror/beach/musical!!!

 

[mommaU4]

The Birds freaked me out too.

But there was one movie, I can't recall the name of it, but it was about these giant ants and they were attacking people. So lame and cheesy now, but not at the time!

Also who remember's the Land of the Lost tv show? OMG, those stupid Sleestaks with their horrible breathing sound scared the crap outta me!!

But now as an adult I love being scared and it's hard to find a real good scary movie. Most are just gruesome and bloody and that is not the same thing.

ETA: The ant movie was called Empire of the Ants and starred Joan Collins. It came out in 1977 which means I was 6 when it was released. What the heck were my parents thinking letting a 6 year old watch that??

Ditto on the sleestaks, although they never scared me. They were just weird to me, and intriguing.

Did you ever see "Beginning of the End?" In that one, it's giant grasshoppers taking over the world. It was used for a MST3K movie that was hilarious.

The Trilogy of Terror movie with Karen Black and this guy caused more nightmares than I can remember.

OMG!! that used to scare that crap outta me! The movie House scared me when I was a kid, I thought our house was gonna try and kill me and Cat's eye where the little troll tries to kill the little girl used to scare me so much

 

[Mel6197]

Movies that freaked me out sooo bad.

RETURN of the Living Dead..

I couldnt get threw that movie, Now I read it was made to be a funny version of the horror..


Mothers Day... Scared the #### out of me

CreepShows Okay not sooo scary and I still LOVE THEM!

Anyone wanna come over and watch some scary movies????

 

[DeterminedOne]

The Birds is still one of my all time favorite movies. I watched it last night too and thought how much better it would be todays special effects.

I also loved Trilogy of Terror and wish I could find the original on DVD. It scared me, but that's what scary movies are supposed to do. I love scary movies!!

ETA: I just found the special edition of Trilogy of Terror on Amazon. DH is ordering it for me for my birthday. YAY!!
