Great question, Medusa! I have several horror movies that stick out in my mind for one reason or the other, but here's the short list of them:
1. Jaws - Totally creeped me out! My family & I would spend several weeks out of the Summer in Florida, so you can see why I would panic from being so close to the ocean. lol Unfortunately, it didn't stop with just the ocean, but lakes, ponds, pools, the bathtub....any body of water, whether it was big or little made me freak out! I can remember crying everytime my mom would put bubble bath in the tub for me because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see Jaws' fin swimming toward me in time to save myself. ha ha
2. Salem's Lot - The twin boys in it were sorta spooky enough, but when one had been turned into a vampire & the other was in bed asleep, you see the great scene of the vampy twin floating up to his window & scratching on the glass whispering "Let me in...." OMG, I was tramatized for months after that!!
3. Planet of the Apes - I HATE talking, walking, human acting apes, monkeys, gorillas, chimps, I don't care whatever they are - they are scary!!!
4. Dawn of the Dead (remake) - Zombies are creepy. Fast zombies scare the HECK out of me!! The beginning scene where the husband & wife go to bed, then the hubby wakes up to find the little neighbor girl standing all bloody at their bedroom door & she takes a bite out of him...he bleeds to death, becomes a zombie & attacks his wife is probably one of the worst/best explosive scenes I've seen in horror. I have this phobia about someone I know and/or love becoming a "monster" of some sort & turning on me - terrifying!!
5. 30 Days of Night - #1 Josh Hartnett is gorgeous! He's so awesome, handsome, brave, yummy...umm, ok, back to the point. (LOL) The vamps in this movie are what I picture vampires to truly be! They are vicious monsters that don't speak as we do, but instead, are demons of the underworld out for blood & the destruction of all of mankind. There is one vamp, in particular, that scares me insane in this movie. He's bald, huge mouth, stocky built. The way he walks & moves his head is so freaking creepy that I can't look away. There's a scene where he gets into the house (the main characters are all hiding upstairs in the attic) & he is walking through the bottom floor sorta "sniffing" their blood out, yet, he hears a man screaming outside & decides to go find the easier prey.... Every time I watch that scene, my heart races because he seems so unstoppable, so animalistic & frightening to me that I almost start shaking just looking at him on screen. lol That is true terror!
