I watched the old movie from the 50s, it was playing on tv during an afternoon on a weekday, I was homesick. That was in the mid 80s. It scared me a lot, and I never watched the remake with Jeff Goldblum because of this.

The 80's Fly movie was gross, but the ending of The Fly II really got to me. Even though Bartok was a bad guy, thinking about how he had to live as a helpless mass of flesh in a cage really freaked me out. He didn't even have a Cronenberg universe to go to!

oh me too!!! The only movie that ever scared me, and I used to watch friday 13 and Elm street at 10. But I think I was too young for the fly.

That arm wrestling scene scared the hell out of me. I was way too young for it.
