I've ever seen (MAN  that was a scary movie). >

I remember when I was a kid, "The Wizard of Oz" was on once a year and 
it was a really big deal.  When Dorothy was kidnapped by those hideous 
monkey-men and taken to the witch's castle, I used to go upstairs to 
my mom's room to watch the rest of the movie.

On that note, what movie scared the hell out of you and still does 
today?  "The Day After" about a nuclear holocaust gave me nightmares 
for months.  I hope people don't laugh, but "The Blair Witch" project 
scared me enough that for months I wouldn't get up in the night to use 
the bathroom, and I was 29 when I saw it.  That movie was all about 
imagination and it doesn't take much to scare me; the thought of being 
lost in the woods, cold, hungry and not knowing what is chasing me is 
enough to fuel many a nightmare.
