Psycho:
this is why my shower has a glass screen and not a curtain.
I saw it in app. 1961 and have never watched a horror film since - well we don't have many cinemas way out here in far west Wales anyway.
The Twilight Zone movie was quite evocative also.The part where the anti-semite,racist guy was taken away on a freight train heading towards the gas chambers with all the other Nazi victims still judders me to the bone still.
I too was scared by the Haunting, Dustypuss. It was all suspense and nothing actually happened but you thought it might. They paid a girl £100 (a lot of money in 1963) to watch it on her own in a cinema in Wigan I remember!!!
Both are Vintage black and white - forties and fifties respectively - not a monster or drop of blood to be seen, but both are seriously scary, and highly recommended.
If any of the toys had died Andy wouldn't have known, hence continued playing with them.
Imagine the trauma the other toys would have been subjected to, watching their friends dead bodies being flung around like mere playthings.
Gives me nightmares just thinking about the psychological outcome.
I watched the Shining for the first time today, due to the thread. Pretty good. I remember The Conjuring being good as well.
I never find horror films scary, I was brought up on NFES, Mutant, etc from about 7. I prefer Psychological thrillers. But really liked Black Mirror.
In fact, Playtest, is probably the way they will need to go, with VR horror :-)
