The Omen series got me a little freaked - but they got funnier as the series progressed - it got to be a case of 'spot the victim'.

I grew up with the Hammer Horror/Amicus type movies, some of them were startling to say the least.

I think the one that gave me the most actual nightmares was 'Asylum' with Robert Powell. A series of short stories, strung together as 'case histories' of the patients/inmates at an asylum, the first one, about the voodoo bracelet and the body parts wrapped in brown paper, had the deepest effect on me. I had a brown paper phobia for many years after that!
