Which non-scary films scared you?

[Reynard Wrecce]

We've all got one, I'm sure...a sequence from a film / TV show / game etc which - despite the text in question being demonstrably for kids or just not scary - wormed into our terrified minds and stays there to this day.

For me, it's The Machine in The Princess Bride. I am now 30 and I still have to leave the room.
Also in Superman 3, where Vera gets sucked into the computer and you see the circuits and whatnot being sort of knitted into her flesh...
Sweet Moses...

So, what gets you scared that probably shouldn't?

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. My god that film is disturbing. I saw half of it and had to escape.

 

[The Brocken]

Idiocracy. It isn't a comedy, it's a tragedy.

 

[MakeLoveNotWar]

Gremlins. It's laughable now, but I saw it when I was a kid.

and that motherfucking wolf from Neverending Story.

ergh that wolf >.<

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...

It's a tie between the tunnel and the Oompa Loompas...

There was a single line, it was a throwaway line in a Doctor Who episode called 'Rise of the Cybermen' and it chilled me for hours afterwards.

Basically the Cybermen are people who's brains have been cut out of their skulls and sutured onto an artificially grown nervous system threaded through a robotic body. A chip implanted into their nervous system completely suppresses emotions, when asked why they have this the Doctor replies

"Because it hurts".

About ten minutes later I realised what it'd actually meant; that the Cybermen were in constant agony and that rather than solve this pain the designer had decided to make it so that they just wouldn't care.

That's a quality scene where the Doctor talks to the Cyberman on the ground.

'Cold'

'Why am I cold?'

OT: Do the Nolan Batman films count as non-scary? If so, those. Particularly Scarecrow.
If not, I'm out of ideas.

Wheelers from the Return to Oz. They still creep me out to this day.

Jurassic Park, specifically the T-Rex roar, scared the living hell out of me the first time I saw it, though I was seven or eight at the time. Other than that, I can't really remember a non-scary (Horror/ Supernatural) movie that scared me.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

Back when I was a kid I remember Anastasia having scared me... now even the scary films don't scare me, so, there you have it.

If you are talking about the old one, I can agree with the tunnel part. As a child, between what was being shown on the wall of the tunnel and what Gene Wilder was saying on the boat ride was rather scary.

I honestly think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (film) is scary, or at least creepy. I think I was 13, and I was channel surfing when I found it on tv. I liked the old version as a kid so I tried watching it, adn I can imagine some kids being traumatized by it. You have musical robot puppets catching fire. You have Willy saying everything is edible, even him. The whole atmosphere is just creepy for that movie.

I wasn't really bothered by the Scarecrow, he was a little freaky looking but not exactly scary or creepy.
The Joker on the other hand was pretty disturbing, especially his infamous "magic trick".

I found the magic trick to be ruined by the PG-13 cut, the lack of gore cost it its impact. However in general Joker was pretty disturbing.

The camera effects and echoes used with Scarecrow's fear toxin were really somewhat more scary IMHO

Probably all docu movies that show things that I din't even thought were possible.

 

[Wurek]

Wheelers from the Return to Oz. They still creep me out to this day.

Ok sure the wheelers are creapy but why the fuck is Dorothy running away. They have no arms. What are they going to do run over her?

 

[Humble85]

Well, I found City of God both scary in regards to real violence, or violence based on real life incidents.

Also, as a kid, I found the wizards in Big Trouble in Little China to be scary. I dont know, something about those hats freaked me out...

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

At around 3.30 minutes it was just fucking terrifying. Plus the blue disembodied voice. This film terrifies me to this day.

All things must be blue, everyone will wear blue, all things will be blue, anything not blue will be destroyed, even the stars will be blue, even the staaars, the dreams, the earth, the very concept of blue will be the fabric of all reality!
The price for difference follows&#65279; you on soft wheels to show you how blue your insides are not

When I was 10 years old Scary Movie 3 caused me to have many sleepless nights.
Also when I was 6 or 7 there was an episode of Father Ted that involved a monster killing sheep that scared the hell out of me. Watching it again, it's hilarious.
