I don't really watch scary movies but when I was really young I saw the Power Puff Girls movie and one of the villains really freaked me out as a kid.

What scared me as a kid was The Wizard of Oz. I am deathly afraid of tornadoes because of that movie and even though the wicked witches were bad, I didn't want them dead. I was afraid of the Munchkins because they didn't give Dorothy her space and I was afraid of the lion. I liked the flying monkeys though!

If I were a kid today I'd be afraid of The Polar Express. I have watched it a few times and can't get over how creepy it is; everything from the eyes of the characters to the slow music when they're in the North Pole. Well, also the danger of the train!

I was really scared of Hocus Pocus (a Disney film ) as a kid. I've seen it again as an adult, as well as much scarier horror movies, as I really enjoy horror as a genre. I'm fine with it now, but it terrified me when I was 10!

I think I know what you mean about the Polar Express. I actually really like the film, but can see how it could have a sinister undertone! That train alone is crazy!

What's with the ghost guy who kept appearing around the train? What does he even represent? I always thought the train conductor was kind of mean even though he was supposed to be a softie on the inside. It just doesn't scream Christmas to me.

Aliens!
It is not a ghost movie, but I was really scared.
The Chucky series also was very scary for a kid.

'Nightbook' is a horror movie, it's the one that scared me the most the very first time I watched it alone in my uncle's house as a teen.

I didn't really watch too many scary movies as a child. However, I would say what frightened me the most would be the ID channel, the TV show about true serial killers. For some reason, I still hate to watch those documentaries because it's so in-depth and my mind just doesn't register with what's being told. Even during the TV show, I constantly find myself looking over my shoulder even though no one is there.

Willy Wonka, the first one, creeped me out as a youngster - because the contestants seem to die. However, they don't really die. It's shown at the end. However, what kid's films show what seems to be death, lol?
