" The Fly"... the original one, with Vincent Price.

" Help me! Help Me!" Ick.



That was particularly creepy.
At least for a kid like me, seeing it in the early 70's for the first time. The make-up on the fly's human head, the music, and the spider coming to eat his head. Creepy !

" Jason and The Argonauts". This one had a giant pissed off statue in it. It stepped on people and squished them. There were skeleton warriors in it, too. This was a LONG time before CGI...they had Ray Harryhausen with his " Stop action" special effects using clay models. Well, it scared me when I was 7!



I loved that movie ! Great special effects. To me, it was just cool, it didn't scare me.



Some others that really scared me:

The Thing That Wouldn't Die (1958). About people digging a water pump, who unearth a head buried in a casket, and it turns out it was a warlock who was executed by pilgrims centuries ago, burying his head and body separately. But he comes back to life and controls people. Really creepy. That face !
I couldn't sleep after that one.

Halloween (the first one, 1978). I was about 14 when I saw it, and it still made sleep difficult the night I saw it.

It's Alive. (1977 or 1978, same deal) About a mutated baby that is like a wild predatory animal from the moment of birth when it leaves the womb, slaughtering everyone in sight. I especially remember the opening scene, where people in the hospital maternity waiting room hear screams, and come running into the delivery room, and all the doctors and nurses are dead, with blood splashed all over the walls. And another scene where it kills a guy delivering milk, in his truck.

Rosemary's Baby

The Omen


Some early 60's movie, I think called "Zontar, The Thing From Venus" or something like that, about an alien monster that stings people on the back of the neck, and takes over their minds.

And some early-60's movie about 7 survivors after a nuclear war.
