The Scariest Movie Ever

When I was 9 and my brother 10 my parents left for the weekend, leaving to babysit us a mild-mannered, middle-aged librarian from where mom taught school. Saturday night she took us to McDonalds - we were never allowed to eat at Mickey D's - this was a real treat! Then her boyfriend came to our table. It was quickly decided we'd all be going to a drive-in movie. There was a double billing of horror shows. Librarian lady and her boyfriend climb in the backseat and order us in the front. "Whatever you do, DON'T even THINK about turning around!" She growled.

Night of the Living Dead begins. Ten minutes into the movie, I'm whimpering, "Can we go now?" "NO! DON'T TURN AROUND!" She orders. I am a deaf-mute by the time the picture ends. For months I envision zombies clamoring through the woods up to our house....this movie is still horrifying to me.....

What movie keeps you sneaking looks out the window or locking the bathroom door?
