If so imagine the conversation between pigeons and statues lol

I can actualy picture that.

100+ year old statue: In my day we......

Teenage Pigeon: In my day, in my day, in my day this, in my day that. Wake up and smell the worms, it's 2010...

Mother Pigeon: Now, now, don't be rude Junior. Go on, Founder.

A musical version of a Christmas Carol called Scrooge. The movie was rated G and yet I found a few scenes in there to be quite terrifying from the ghosts to the part with Scrooge going to hell. A G rating, can't see how it didn't at least get a PG.

ever since this movie ive been terrified of bobcat goldthwait

When I was little, I was completely terrified by Peter Weller's death scene in the first half of RoboCop. It still disturbs me somewhat, given that stuff like that actually happens.

Just to clarify... Homer_Bob is referring to the musical version with Albert Finney, one that is terrifying in its own right for me just because I get sick of people saying, "Wow, this is a great story, it'll be even better with musical numbers!" The one with Bobcat Goldthwaite is Scrooged, starring Bill Murray, made some time later. And after the scene with the shotgun, I can see finding him terrifying.

Invaders from Mars

I saw it on TV when I was probably six. It's a frightening film for a child, the martians implant devices in adults and the adults start acting violently and unpredictably. Only the little boy in the film understands what is going on, and no one believes him. Scared me to pieces.

yeah, me too. I had this thing with quicksand when I was a kid....don't the aliens suck people in by sand pits??? I also remember the quicksand off the film Krull sticking in my mind....

The Dark Crystal

Titanic. I would always scream, hide and cry when they all start drowning. If I remember correctly there's a scene with a little kid alone screaming in the corridor, that bit really freaked me out. I'd always end up imagining that kid was me and I'd cry myself to sleep.

Every Titanic movie, I swear, has to have a shot of a baby or child abandoned or lost somewhere. they love to throw things like that into disaster movies of all sorts. It isn't enough to know children died, they've got to make you just sick about it. Knowing it really is enough to do that. My sister's a drama queen, she's always gotten really worked up about that stuff, wallows in the drama of it all. Bleah.

Magic with Anthony Hopkins, they ran the commercial a lot and it was on HBO tons

There must have been other but right now I vividly recall that moment in Alien when captain Dallas descends down that ladder and suddenly the Alien jumps out.

Its especially scary because you can never tell the exact moment it comes out, its a surprise every time.

I had a panic attack when I saw the trailer for Titan A.E.... Who knew it would become a special intrest in a few years past that.

An old horror movie from the late 70's called Prophecy; that's what scared the crap out of me as a kid. And even after all these decades, that image of the grotesquely mutated bear - with half it's body hairless and it's flesh looking raw and melted, seemingly invincible and completely insane - still haunts my nightmares, and drifts into my thoughts when I'm lying half asleep at night. I've seen this movie as an adult, and I can plainly see that the monster is just a guy in a rubber suit, when it's not a line puppet. But in my childhood memories, which are in this case still alive and well, the mutant bear is flesh and blood, and all too real.
