You'll love Cujo the movie. That and Misery are two of the best horror films I've ever seen. I never thought a Saint Bernard could look so scary.
eta: and the most painful part of Misery was the block of wood between the ankles. OUCH!!!!!!!

Tales from the Crypt was a TV show, but Creepshow was a movie (and a graphic novel) from Stephen King. I always kind of think of them as being similar, as Creepshow was a series of short stories.

Halloween is on at 3pm today, I'm debating about watching it. Someone told me it's not gory so much as psychologically frightening because of what you don't see. And I'm intrigued because of an article I read eons ago about how the director got Jamie Lee Curtis to give him the right level of fear as they were filming out of sequence by using a 1-10 scale.

I was completely disappointed with Cujo as a movie. The great thing about the book is that you get the dog's point of view. Not true in the movie.

Just watched it this weekend on netflix instant, and since it's from 1992 it counts...
Candyman.
I was 14 when it came out, and it completely terrified me!

I forgot all about Candyman. I seriously had nightmares for days about that movie.

I'm right there with you. "IT" was a scary movie.
I was also terrified by the original "Willard" when I was younger.

Tales From the Crypt was a originally a movie released in 1972 and was a precursor to the HBO series. Not as campy as Creepshow but it's still a good movie.

Does anyone remember The Changeling? Good classic horror film, no gore or nudity just good mystery.

How did I miss this thread the first go around?
I love many of the movies mentioned -- The Shining, Carrie, The Exorcist. Also loved the original TV version of Salem's Lot and especially the three Omen movies.
But only one movie has truly scared (or disturbed?) me to the core: Blue Velvet. I was away for work and watched it in the hotel room. Could not get to sleep for hours and hours afterward. A few days later I was back home and walking into Wal-Mart. As I walked in, the music system started playing Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet." I turned around and walked out.

For some reason, Blue Velvet just struck a very wierd nerve.
