It's hard to imagine that this movie The Shining (1980) was the scariest movie to me as a kid from the twins, to the blood bath from the elevator, to Danny's face and more but holy cow this movie gave me chills up my spine and made me stay up at night for weeks but in a weird coincidence it started my liking in horror movies but I have to say the shining was the scariest movie to me
I had the same experience with the movie Signs as a kid. Many sleepless nights too terrified to even move or make a sound. But in a weird coincidence it got me really interested in aliens, cryptids, spirits, and the paranormal in general.
Whoa now that is a really weird coincidence
