HM to House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows - the 2 early Dark Shadows movies. For years Mom had to play them on Halloween. The only scary movies she would ever watch.

Some really great choices there. I didn't see most of them until I was an older teen or adult. The ones that freaked me out the most were those I first saw as a kid or young teen, because that's when I was believing the same thing was gonna happen to me! Maybe it was the Catholic upbringing.

The Exorcist and Salem's Lot (the 70s David Soul version) top my list. I saw them both as a young teen and they scared me to the point where I was wearing a crucifix to bed and trying not to read too much into strange noises outside. Both had me freaked out that I was gonna get possessed or demonized. I've watched Salem's Lot a number of times since but I don't watch The Exorcist. Once was enough for me!

The Amityville Horror (the original)--saw that one in the theater as a kid and omg....the voice yelling GET OUT!!!!!!!! And the lights in the windows that looked like eyes. That one had me hoping there wasn't some evil spirit in my house ready to pounce.

The Birds--I dare anyone who sees a bunch of birds perched on a fence who doesn't have a flashback to this movie.

Don't Be Afraid Of the Dark--this was a tv movie, I think, in the 70s, with Kim Darby. A couple moves into a house that has these demonic small creatures and they are after her, terrorizing her and they keep whispering "Sally, Sally."

Oh, yeah, there are a series of "Dr. Phibes" movies with Vincent Price that are pretty freaky in how his character comes up with unique ways to murder his victims.

Frankenstein Created Woman--a British film from the 60s with Peter Cushing. There's a young couple in the 19th century--the girl is disfigured and is tormented by these other guys. Her lover gets executed, beheaded; she kills herself, she ends up with a beautiful new face and body and the soul of her lover...she carries the dead lover's head around (I think it talks to her) and she murders her tormentors, who were responsible for the death of her lover. That one was pretty freaky, too.

With all the mentions of the movie Halloween...maybe I'm slow, lol, but I didn't find out til a few weeks ago the mask Michael Myers uses is a William Shatner mask.
