“…scared me as a kid” links

What scared you as a kid? I don’t mean real horrors, I mean the movies, the ghost stories, the books, the weird neighbors? I remember being terrified of a movie about a guy in a scarecrow costume who was sneaking up to a house full of people to kill them.  More recently,  I was terrified of Audition and The Ring.  I’m a cowardy custard.

Anyway the worst scares are those that aren’t meant to be scary and that’s the subject of this post.

Cinematical has non-horror movies that scared him as a kid. 

Upper Fort Stuart lists the non-horror books that scared him as a kid.  Check out this Three Bears version.

Commonplace Book vs. scary Sesame Street - has video goodness.

On the “Hey, Beastmaster’s On” blog has trailers that terrified Kelly as a kid.

 Finally, Cynical Kitty was not afraid of Scissorhands or E.T. as a kid but she is now.

The question is, what scares you then or now?
