i would have totally voted for that [dark night of the scarecrow] if i had remembered the name oh a week ago or so (although to be fair i havent seen it since i was a kid so i might be giving it too much credit)
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.

My ultimate kindertrauma was when my idiot babysitter (a grown up! Not some dumb teenager!) let me watch The Excorcist on TV when I was ten. That was a long sleepless night of lying awake in bed, waiting for the devil to come and possess me. (She also let me watch The Deerhunter.)

Are we allowed to talk about things we're still catching up on because of the poll? Because I just watched The Sentinel on netflix insta and loved it. It was a LOT more bent than I was expecting, with a ridiculous cast (very young C Walken and J Goldblum and C Sarandon PLUS william dickey and eli wallach and Jerry Orbach are you fkin kiddin' me?) and a really superbly protean score from Gil Melle.
