Yeah, I knocked off a couple movies that I thought were kind of cool as a kid: Gargoyles & Devil Dog
I remember the first part of Gargoyles being pretty scary though. I'm not gooing to rewatch it and ruin that memory.

My fondest TV horror movie is Salem's Lot, which scared the everloving shit out of me at age seven (wtf were my parents thinking?). The scene with the knuckleheads driving the van with the coffin in the back… yikes!

OTM! i did remember it, but had the same reservations about the accuracy of my childhood recollections. and i didn't want to waste a vote. i do remember that they hyped the hell out of it in the weeks leading up, so i was super-excited to see it. 14 at the time, so it didn't really mess me up, but it was scary and cool (iirc). final scene still haunts me.

Even Dwarves Started Small always felt just a shade off seventies decadent Euro-horror. Like all it needs is three seconds of girls making out and it'd be there.

Is there a horror movie where a little person get's stabbed to death and then shot out of a cannon into a wood chipper? If so, that's probably the one jjjusten voted for because he hates the wee.

Some of my earliest scares were: The Bad Seed, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane and A Bucket Of Blood. Interesting to me, re-watching them as an adult, the levels of black humor and camp at work in these three.

When I was 6 or 7, there was a moment in Disney's Blackbeard's Ghost--a painting of a woman where you could see the eyes move--that terrified me. The Green Slime frightened me around the same time. The bar for scaring me has always been about as low as it gets.
