1. Nightmare on Elm Street (Because how can you avoid dreams)
2. I barely remember this movie I think it was "The Legacy" there is a scene where a person dives into a swimming pool and when they attempt to resurface the top of the water is solid (stayed with me for years)
3. Poltergeist (mostly because of that clown doll)
4. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1970s with Donald Sutherland screaming at the end of it)
5. The Exorcist (Freaky especially when it came out)
6. The Shining (redrum and Nicholson)
7. Salems Lot (My grandparents took me when I was 4 or 5. I remember the violence and gore freaking me out. They used to sell popcorn in those buckets. I took the empty bucket and placed it over my head so I wouldn't have to see the screen)
8. Don't be afraid of the Dark (okay same grandparents I'm 5. This is a cheesy movie about little creatures that are light sensitive and live in the vents of an old house. They come out and put straight razors under your feet when you step out of the bath. They try to kill you in various ways--yeah this messed with me for a long time. I generally get freaked out by small things I can't see in films).
The pool scene you described scared me! Ugh! I couldn't imagine being in that situation. Don't be afriad of the dark sounds familiar, I saw a cute little movie like that on netflix but they got saved in the end. Nightmare on elms street never bothered me some how. I always thought freddy was hilarious. The exorsist to me wasn't scary, it was also pretty funny though! I'm being Reagan for Halloween this year because everyone tells me I look like the actress who played her in the exorcist.
