oh and Watership Down! of course!

I think I was very disturbed as a child by the Armchair Thriller series.Those horrible arms melting down the chair and that dog yapping on the bridge over the Thames for some strange reason!

Anyone else remember those programs? Music scared the shit out of me too!

Was referring to the Heffelumps BTW!

Crikey someone else who has seen Eve's Bayou!!
Love that film!!

Whats is it about?

Don't remember Armchair Thrillers, but I do remember that bloody Ghostwatch thing they did when I was about 10 - like a spoof Most Haunted (possibly the same woman), in a house where this young girl was supposed to be being attacked by a ghost.

I was young, didn't realise it was a spoof, and was terrified of the creaks the house made at night for weeks!!!!

Oooh, and a Miss Marple all to do with a house that a woman had been in before as a child, but she only vaguely remembered it, and something to do with gloves and weed killer. I was very young for that and it scared me lots

Excellent MergleMergle a fellow mumsnetter with irrational bunny cartoon phobia! i was getting worried for a second i was the only one

Eve's bayou was about a girl who had some sort of pyschic powers. She had visions. Her older sister told her that their father had hurt her and Eve cursed him using voodoo. He died and then she found out that her sister was lying about him hurting her. Really quite creepy with flashbacks and stuff.

Sounds good-ever been on Sky?

I cant' believe I have found my film "Sante Sangre" on Amazon-am ordering now and it will be available to hire once I have watched it again.

Here it is-read the first review.

Eve's bayou was a straight to vid job. But Samuel L. Jackson rules in it!! I only have it on video because i worked in Blockbusters and made my boss exrental it for me!!!

Just thought of another one that used to freak me out years ago.
Tales from the Darkside(crappy 80's film with Cristian Slater and Debbie Harry!)-the bit that freaks me is when the evil moggy kills someone by ramming itself down their throat!!! Then you see the cat turn around in their stomach and come back out again! YUK YUK YUK!!!

An old version of "Alice in Wonderland"

A Tales of the Unexpected programme where a young girl that's living with her aunt gets followed home on the bus and killed by a stranger.

Does no one still remember Armchair Thrillers?

Clockwork Orange
Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer
Hannibal (YUCK!!)
Pulp Fiction (am I the only one?)
Seven (Bleck!!!)

I don't tend to watch disturbing films but I see someone has mentioned Sophie's Choice and yes that did disturb me, you know that scene where she has to choose. I often think about it with regard to my children and it makes me feel sick.

I remember Armchair Thriller. It used to start with the 'Thames' logo in the dark and then go into the titles where a shadow sits in a chair.

The only one I seem to remember had a cricking in the attic and when they went up to have a look it was a faceless nun sitting rocking in a rocking chair. - Talk about crap your pants stuff. I've got a feeling it wasn't on that late as well, sort of 8.30 ish.

Not keen on them much but here's my vote
-Silence of the lambs - saw it on its opening night - 1am after a boozy night. Knew nothing about it and was scared shitless - couldn't sleep for weeks. Sounds daft now.
-The Baby of Macon - am I the only one to have seen it? Peter Greenaway. He came to our local atr house cinema and did a presentation before the film. But the rape scenes churned my stomach. I couldn't watch and left. Sicko.
-Deliverance (squeal like a pig) Uh. Can't listen to a banjo anymore.
-Pulp Fiction shocked me when I first saw it but it makes me laugh now.
The Grandmother - another David Lynch but a short. Truly weird and definitely disturbing.

Drop! I can't believe you love Sante Sangre! I've got a copy you could borrow, I've had it for years. Did you ever see another film by Jodorowsky called Holy Mountain?

As a child I was terrified by The Shining and Salem's Lot - that t.v. series version.

As an adult:

the Japanese version of Ring
Mulholland Drive
I Spit on your Grave

I remember watching an old black and white movie, probably 1940's as a child. not at the time I hastened to add . It was about a black nanny who had a mixed race child and the child denied her as her mother because she was black and introduced her as her nanny. At the end of the film after the grown up child had been particularly horrible to the mother, the mother died. The last scene is of the daughter chasing after the hearse shouting Mummy. It has always stuck in my mind. If anyone knows the title, I would be grateful.

Gosh yes, Rowlers, the end of the Baby of Macon was awful. I once worked with Peter Greenaway for a month and he was such an arsehole. It was just after he'd made Baby of Macon and he thought it was the best thing he'd done since A Zed and Two Noughts. It hadn't been released when I worked with him and I saw it a month or so after and it summed him up for me. Sleazy git.
