What scared me in The Ten Commandments was the killer green fog.
Scar was scary as Hell in The Searchers and when John Wayne scalped scar I freaked. Even then (I was seven) I knew that sometimes Americans scalped Indians but to see it on the screen was shocking.
Seeing the road show version of Ben Hur in 1959 was when I became aware of hi-fi. When I heard the blasts of the overture's opening fanfare, reproduced magnetic multi-track through (presumably) Altec A4s or A2s I was hooked. Hell, I still prefer big Altecs over all other speakers and any system must pass the Ben Hur test to be first rate in my book.
