OMG that was a great film about Joan Crawford "no more wire hangers, EVER" that particular scene was scary Faye Dunaway was freakin awesome IMO one of her best roles (up there with as the sceaming Diana Christiansen from Network (1976) and as the lethal Milady de Winter from The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974) talk about great villian roles) 3.5 out of 5

The problem is that they had no problem attempting to butcher the reputation of one of their most iconic stars. Imaging if a similar biopic came out about Prince?
BTW how could you forget the role that put her on the map?
The only movie I can remember scaring me is "Jaws". Not so much that the movie itself was scary, but we lived on the water and I waterskied every day. The feeling I got the first time I went into the water after watching "Jaws" was so freaky. I just KNEW a great white shark had swam into Galveston Bay and up Cedar Bayou, just to chomp me in half!
I was in my late teens when I saw "Jaws" on the big screen and it scared me so much that I won't swim in deep water nor ever go on a boat and certainly not a cruise. Not then. Not now. Not ever. That's not like boogeyman "BOO!!" shit, that's real life and I want no part of that. Nope If it doesn't have sides and I can't see the bottom, I won't have it.
For horror movies, the original Friday the 13th scared the crap out of me. At that time that was released, I was involved with someone who was born and raised in Blairstown NJ, which is where "Camp Crystal Lake" aka Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, is located. We visited his family there frequently. Seeing such familiar landscape as part of that movie freaked me right the fuck out

I see your point, and I did a bit of research and found this interesting article Faye Dunaway Isn’t Sure Making Mommie Dearest Was a Good Move for Anyone:“I should have known better.”http://www.vanityfair.com...ie-dearest maybe one day Hollywood will get it right.......she was incredible in Mildred Pierce (1945) which I prefer to the recent mini-series I give the film version a 4 out of 5
Yuuuup she was amazing in Bonnie & Clyde 4 out of 5 as well as my all-time fav Steve McQueen film The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) 5 out of 5
E.T. gave me nightmares for years. Everything about him creeps me out. How he talks, how he moves, how he looks like Gail Platt from Coronation Street. *shudder*
You are not alone. I think I was 8 years old when we saw ET at the theater...I was terrified of that little fucker from the moment his long fingers wrapped around the wall of the shed (after throwing the baseball back and forth). I NEVER watched it a second time, and to this day I wonder "How did the world fall in love with that thing?"
This was my first childhood terror moment; the look of bigfoot gave me nightmares...
"The Probe" freaked me out, too.
That's a good one. When they first showed him, we (a bunch of kids at a parent dinner party) all ran out of the living room screaming... but we came back and watched the rest. The reveal was right at a commercial break.
personal fact: the bionic sound effect always came to mind when I heard "Kiss" by Prince.
The original "When A Stranger Calls" freaked me out as a kid. The first 20 minutes of the movie and last 15 minutes is sick. The opening Drew Barrymore scene in the "Scream" movie paid homage to "Stranger".

It's part of the theme of the movie, to see the good in the outcast.
I have to go with Halloween, too. But two Vincent Price movies based on Edgar Allen Poe stories scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a little kid. One was The Oblong Box concerning a man who was buried alive (Poe's greatest fear). And the other was The Pit and the Pendulum, in which a demented Vincent Price seals his wife alive in an Iron Maiden (torture device) after she drives him insane.
Yes I would have to say Halloween also scared me too as a kid. That music is so creepy
THAT'S IT!!!! That is the moment that I and the entire theater lost our minds!
Oh, yeah--there was a Hitchcock movie that scared the pants off my sister, a friend, and I when we went to see it at the theater as kids--Frenzy with The Necktie Killer.

Faye Dunaway was freakin awesome IMO one of her best roles (up there with as the sceaming Diana Christiansen from Network (1976) and as the lethal Milady de Winter from The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974) talk about great villian roles)
