Contest: ENTER SciFi/F Av contest: That was scary!!

[auntiehill]

To quote Dean Winchester,

This week's contest is about movies or tv episodes that scared the proverbial crap out of you. Monsters, demons, ghosts, scary aliens, mad scientists, you name it. If it was a sci-fi or fantasy film/tv show and it scared you silly, make an avatar of it and enter it here. Non-genre films like "Jaws" or "Psycho" do not count but films like "Dracula," "The Exorcist" and "Alien" do. Standard rules apply: 200 x 200 pixels max, 1 MB max, and keep it Google/work safe. The voting thread will be up on the 24th (or thereabouts). You may enter up to three avatars.

Since I won the last contest, I will only enter two:

Poltergeist

The Shining

The Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet:

Salem's Lot (1979)
Here's the story. Actually it was the scene in the book that scared me. I was a voracious reader. Often staying up late to finish a book. So I'm reading "Salem's Lot" and I get to that point in the book. As I'm reading about the vampire scratching on the window, a gust of wind causes a branch to brush my bedroom window. I just about jumped out of my bed. I was done reading for the night.

My dad watched a lot of classic sci-fi when I was a kid and didn't care too much if I was peering out from behind the Laz-e-boy, quietly terrified.

No. 1.

The Outer Limits: Wolf 359
What I called "the Ghost from Dundee Planet."

No. 2.

Sure, he looks corny now, but what little kid watching Trek for the first time didn't pee his or her pants a little bit when this scaly MF'er first turned around and hissed at Kirk?

The Gmork from The Never-Ending Story.
When I first saw the movie as a kid The Gmork and Morla scared the shit out of me. And on top of those two there was a certain other scene that traumatized every child of the '80s. I'm pretty sure there was probably more than a decade between the first and second times I watched it. Now it's one of my absolute favorite movies of all time.

Snow White & The Seven Dwarves
There is some seriously scary stuff in a lot of the early Disney movies.

No. 3

The Incredible Shrinking Man

Continuing with my "peering out from behind Dad's Laz-e-boy, quietly terrified," theme, here is the movie that, along with a particular episode of Night Gallery, created my lifelong arachnophobia. (Hell, just doing the image search for this entry kind of gave me an anxiety attack).
