Scary movies

-

Diana Stirling

My late husband and I saw Psycho in Truro many years ago and I swear we both had our hair stood on end on the drive all the way back to Helston. It was the first of its kind. Later we all got more used to horror movies but I still remember that night!

I watched the Blair Witch Project on a really stormy night. Only me in the house, probably three quarters of the way through the movie the central heating fired up – scared the life out of me. You can still see my fingernail­s in the ceiling

Roland Haselton

The Orphanage is a great ghost story that I thoroughly recommend. Don’t be put off by the subtitles either.

Steven Dyte

I accidental­ly switched to BBC Parliament. It's the scariest channel I've seen

Stephen Edmonds

World War Z, I didn't know Zombies could run that fast

Graham Archibald

The Evil Dead (the original) way back when. Then walking back past the woods at midnight aged 15 - when I say ‘walk’, more of a sprint

Sarah Cragg

The original Witches with Angelica Houston. I was about the same age as the boy in it when I watched it and it proper scared me. I had nightmares

Nichola Bryce

The Woman in Black. I have never screamed so much in the cinema
