Answer 1

Omfg !!! From the 50's?? That's way to old even for me :) I liked the twilight zone though :) do do do do do do do do

Answer 2

The Fly. That ending just plain scared me.

Answer 3

I haven't seen that movie yet :) I pretend I'm brave ... But I avoid anything that might scare or upset me :p I'm a bit of a chicken baby ;)

Answer 4

The original version was just plain creepy. The 80's version with Jeff Goldblum wasn't as good but it was gory. I like creepy better. Sci-fi of yesteryear was creepy. They had no special effects or CG. That just makes that filmmaking brilliant. I understand. I can be a bit of a chicken. I watch movies through my fingers! Ha!

Answer 5

The Blob. The theater scene was filmed at the theater near me.

Answer 6

The THING from another world ! You forgot The Crawling Eye !

Omg, Mr. C. I had no idea they had a creepy eye movie! I have people in my life that can't deal with anything to do with the eye. A movie with an eye creeping about. LOL!! I'm going to have fun with that one!

Answer 8

Not just one either ! A bunch of them. That movie scared the heck out of me when I was a kid ! Both of them did !

Answer 9

A bunch!! I'm looking for that movie. Omg, I'm just imagining it. That would be really creepy running from the room scary as a kid.

Answer 14

I liked a lot of those movies, but recently I have watched the fly with my Granddaughter.  It was quite entertaining.
