grinder Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) The films today have far better special effects than the old X films I know but a film I never saw at the time and only heard about as a kid back in the 40s gave me more nightmares than anything I've ever seen since... Peter Lorre in the Beast with five fingers. Just thinking about it still gives me the creeps.. Edited May 20, 2015 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 For it's time 'Psycho'. The shower scene coupled with the soundtrack, genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest makapaka Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What was the one with Donal Sutherland where his little girl dies and he ends up following a small person in a red coat thinking it's her but it's a dwarf that knifes him? Just writing this is remindinge of the dwarfs face and giving me the creeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dars35 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Don't look now... for me - the exorcist, had a proper fright whilst watching it some years ago, was in the living room with the wife, and only one child back then who was upstairs asleep heard a massive bang from upstairs at one of the more nasty moments in the film, went to foot of stairs & popped light on, the bulb blew tripping all the lights!!! complete darkness, exorcist still in my head & I had to get upstairs to check child was ok proper scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how films get in your head. My mum went into labour with me during Carrie - she is adamant it was the film that set her labour off! I've tried moving things with my mind but it won't work ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
