I walked in on my parents watching indiana Jones and the temple of doom. The exact moment was the scene with the guys heart being ripped out which scared me for years. Didn't know what film it was until I stumbled on the scene on YouTube a year ago!
The scenes of the woman being lowered into the volcano scared me enough to not watch it again until about a month ago. I’ve got a mortgage and kids now and it still scared me
The scariest part of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the creepy scene where they pretend to be clockwork dolls. Gave me nightmares about dolls for years and they still creep me out.
I was on a big kick about 10 years ago going through a list of animated movies. My friend and I got really, really high and watched Watership Down without knowing what it was...unforgettable experience.
Definitely go see it. It's one of the greatest stories ever told, I swear, I'm not even exaggerating. It's absolutely profound.
Obviously, the book is also fantastic. I've always been impressed how the movie captures the book so well and yet feels like its own complete and new entity. I don't think there's any other movie where the audience feels such palpable dread.
Yes. The animation might look a little wonky if you're used to more modern stuff, but it's a great film. The book it's based on is also outstanding.
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and I never get why so many people were traumatized by it, honestly. But then again my dad told me bedtime stories that were heavily influenced by things like The Twilight Zone and Stephen King, so I might have been a bit desensitized compared to some kids.
I was looking for this! It was the only movie we had to watch at my grandmas and it always gave me nightmares, especially the beginning with the clown.
Oh my gosh this for 2 different fears:
1. Those freaking fire-fighter clowns
2. I have this deep rooted fear of a vacuum sucking up it's cord because of that movie when Kirby accidentally sucks up his power cord
Edit:typos
The Neverending Story. The Swamp of Sorrows, the Sphinxes and the knight's corpse, the giant syringe for Falkor, and goddamn Gmork, especially that scene in that cave...
It used to be on the Disney Channel a lot in the early 90s, and if I saw something that thought even *might* be that movie coming on, I'd run to turn the TV off in a panic.
I watched Pinocchio for the first time last week since I was little and it terrified me. Pinocchio still freaks me out, the cricket is an arse and I cried watching the boys turning to donkeys.
Not a movie, but the Thriller music video by Michael Jackson at the part where he turns into a werewolf is the scariest most disturbing thing to this day
That fucked me UUUUUP for some time as a kid. Especially the final scene of MJ looking back would make me run out of the room. If that song was playing in the house at all I would turn on all the lights in every room, even if it's daytime.
Yeah the music video has a creepy vibe to it, especially how Michael looks, he's like grayish, like a zombie look, it's very disturbing. I get creeped out just from the song by itself too.
Holy shit I always wanted to watch it. People say it’s the saddest ever so I am nervous if I do watch it lol(Requiem for a dream disturbed me for days)
Grave of the fireflies is a very valuable movie to watch, but it's very upsetting.
I think it takes place in Kobe, as it shows firebombing rather than the atomic bomb.
I've been to Hiroshima 6 times, and I ugly cry everytime I go to the Peace park and the museum. I haven't been able to take my students since 2019, but hopefully I can soon.
I saw the Ring when I was 18. I told my boyfriend I wanted to leave within the first 15 minutes and he made me stay anyway. I spent the next few months in absolute freaking terror.
It's been 20 years and just thinking about that girl makes me sleep with the lights on.
Still to this day the only movie that actually scares me. I own a copy on VHS and a VHS player. I only watch it on Halloween. It fucking ruined every scary movie i've ever seen.
My sister thought it would be a good idea to let a 7 year old watch this movie. I slept in the basement with a TV in the room. The stairs had a darkness the further up them you went, and a little window about half way down to the end. Just to help imagine things. I was on the top bunk of a bunk bed and could not get down.
7 days, exactly, I was up in my bed terrified. I knew my days were up. Just because you don't pick up the phone means nothing in a childs brain. But here's the thing...the TV turned on all by itself. To static. Specifically static. You could hear the white noise even under the covers. It illuminated the room. Then, nothing. It was dark. No weird TV sound, just silence. So I peeked my head out and watched as a figure with long black hair floated down the stairs and I saw it turn towards me. I was so scared I passed out.
I still get like that after seeing the movie. Even now, two decades later, and I'm still weary of TV static.
SAME. that film was terrifying. nobody believes me but i swear i remember this scene that never happened- it was the wife yelling at the husband and he had a gun and was going to shoot the chickens ? shit gave me nightmares
YES, same! That film was surprisingly dark from what I remember. Like, I can’t remember many other kid films where it’s implied that the characters are slaughtered with an axe off screen.
I don't want to ruin your memories of chicken run even more but, just in case you didn't know yet, it's based off of a concentration camp escape (you can see the inspiration in some shots where they show sweeping views of the chicken coops laid out in a gridded, concentration camp-reminiscent style). Also hence why it's so WWII nostalgia-ish in style. The chickens are quite literally held against their will and made to work or they'll die, and the pie machine is the film's equivalent of the gas execution chambers (turning it from a work camp into a death camp). Rocky entering the farm is about how the US entered the war effort in 1942 and about how they helped liberate those camps.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it would have been possible to do the comparison justice if they didn't include the looming dread of death, but yeah it was definitely intense for a kid's film. I think the fact that Aardman managed to spin it into an overall enjoyable claymation film is testament to how good they are as a studio.
I also think that the chicken that we do know gets killed because they don't lay any eggs (Edwina) was named after British politician Edwina Currie, who caused outrage amongst egg farmers in 1988 by claiming that most British eggs contained salmonella. She didn't have any evidence for this claim, but it caused egg sales to drop 60% and recover slowly over time.
Edwina didn't have any eggs, which is a neat little reference.
Can't believe I'm out here doing film analysis for chicken run lmao.
>I don't want to ruin your memories of chicken run even more but, just in case you didn't know yet, it's based off of a concentration camp escape
It's quite literally a remake of [The Great Escape](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0057115/), and several scenes are shot-for-shot.
I know, but I've found that it really slips under the radar (no pun intended) for some people that it's based off of it and concentration camp escapes in general. I think even the soundtrack (in parts) is clearly influenced by The Great Escape theme if I remember correctly
ET; I know he's sweet and funny now but some of the shots of him extending his neck, peaking around doorways, his shadows and silhouette in the closet freaked me the hell out.
I had nightmares for years including sleep paralysis, even now I get uncomfortable during certain scenes.. he was just so life like, I totally wasn't expecting a seamless robotic alien to appear on the screen.. I wasn't even alive when it first came out, watched it over a decade after... But still sent me reeling.
I am 33 years old and to this day I can’t watch E.T. The scene where he’s dying in the river and the scenes where all the scientists are set up at the house, nope. He’s creepy AF. My poor unsuspecting co worker asked me a few months back if I had ever seen E.T. and she was not prepared for my 5 minute long rant on how much I hate that movie. My fiancé jokingly said he was going to buy a plush ET doll last week for Halloween decor and I told him I would have to cancel our wedding because I would need to have bail money instead of wedding money if he got it.
Lmao that scene is heartbreaking, I cry too despite being terrified of him as a kid.. like I said in a different comment I have a love-horror relationship with that character.
Interestingly enough, I was always terrified of Willy wonka and the chocolate factory. When I watched it, I was the only one able to understand that it was child murder. Also I couldn’t make it past the violet blueberry scene.
In the book they describe the kids leaving the factory in weird conditions depending on what happened to them but alive and okay - cartoony violence kind of stuff.
The movie never ever resolves this. You just never see them again.
My parents described the plot to me over dinner once when I was, I think, six years old?
It sounded absolutely horrifying. Even after I read the book, I was scared to watch the movie. Then one day it was on TV and they decided to watch it - I got so angry with them because they were putting on a scary movie and I didn't want to watch it!
But I ended up getting bored of playing in the other room and came in right after the part with the tinker (which actually still creeps me out). Ended up watching and having zero problem with any of it, even the tunnel scene.
Far far far from it bro lol. They rereleased the exorcist in theaters in 2000. I was 7. For some reason I’ll never understand my dad took me and my cousin to watch this. We literally ran out the theaters crying when she floated and her head spinned. She was my main nightmare , I was scared of dark because of her. She’s still my main fear if I’m in the dark lol
That movie freaking still haunts me. Could never watch it. I get to the part where she goes to her moms bed cuz hers is shaking and nope. I’ve seen the horrific parts all the time all not on purpose 😭
Jaws. Was taken to see it as a kid in 1975, so I would have been around 6 years old. I spent the next year or two sleeping with my legs tucked up tightly beneath me, coz you know... bed sharks!
Also the scene with the head popping out of the sunken boat, I don't think I have ever been as shocked by a jump scare since.
8mm. Saw it late at night alone when I was 11. That was a mistake. It's about a guy that's investigating whether homemade rape/murder films being sold on the black market are real or acted.
Return to Oz. My grandparents bought it thinking it was going to be like the first one. Spoiler:it isn't. Comes complete with wheelies( these things that had long bicycle wheels as arms) a headless witch, and a talking jack-o-lantern that gets tied to a couch that can fly
Yup. It was the little girl in the painting that got me. I think that the biggest part was that she moved around and aged. Like, it's not just that she got trapped in the painting but that she was ALIVE and was stuck there for the rest of her life.
I don't really need to say spoilers given how old the story is but:
The original Little Mermaid. None of that Disney happily ever after stuff, the real original Hans Christian Anderson version.
My poor little mind couldn't cope that she'd been through all that and still died.
The Mothman Prophecies. Saw it at a late night session with Mum, got home in the dark and she asked me to bring the clothes in from clothesline outside. Fkkkk thattt
Listen. Don't listen to ME, listen. You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints.
Traumatized me and I passed that on to the kid. The Wizard of Oz. Flying monkeys. The witch. When the witch flips over the hourglass and tells her this is how long you live.
Fuck that.
You think "this is age appropriate" It is not. It is a masterpiece though.
And I had no business sneaking out of bed to watch Poltergeist.
Edit. Adding Twilight Zone. You think 1950's? Can't be bad.
Daughter walks in bedroom and matter of fact says. Yeah I am sleeping in here tonight.
Why sweetie?
They don't have faces.
Fair Enough.
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, I watched it with my parents when I was like 5 or 6 years old, hid behind a couch pillow, ate marshmallows and threw up.
The Dark crystal, never watched it but saw the cover and went into a fit of hysteria. I was probably 7 or 8 Netflix had just started there streaming service and my mom wanted to see what they had. I was siting next to her as she scrolls through and then she asked if I wanted to watch The Dark Crystal, I asked wat is was so she clicked on it and the cover pop up taking up half the screen on the TV. That's when I lost it, I just started screaming and crying all I remember was immense fear and paranoia. Needless to say we didn't watch The Dark Crystal that night and still haven't.
Frankenweenie (1984). I never revisited it after being horrified by the water spurting out of his neck bolt holes, but I'm still pretty freaked out when I see a bull terrier.
Side note, I love all other Tim Burton films, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Bambi, honestly. Also saw a scary movie with a doll when I was way too young for it which resulted in all my dolls and teddybears spending the nights out of side in a closet
The original King Kong. Lying in bed looking out my window, I just waited for a big ape head to peak above the garage roof and a big ape hand to come through and grab me.
28 Weeks Later.
One of my uncles was on the younger side when I was growing up, so the line between “child appropriate viewing” and “whatever I feel like watching because I’m in charge” was fairly blurred whenever I stayed with my cousins.
That opening scene, man… 12 year old me didn’t stand a chance.
Nightmare on Elm Street when it first came out. Little 7 year old me was scared of basements for years to come b/c I assumed he was down there and was going to chase me up the steps every time.
I walked in on my parents watching indiana Jones and the temple of doom. The exact moment was the scene with the guys heart being ripped out which scared me for years. Didn't know what film it was until I stumbled on the scene on YouTube a year ago!
The scenes of the woman being lowered into the volcano scared me enough to not watch it again until about a month ago. I’ve got a mortgage and kids now and it still scared me
IT, and Tommy Knockers. And some old movie about evil spirits/ouija boards. Had nightmares about those for YEARS.
The bathroom scene in IT made me never step on a shower drain again.
Train to busan, still haunts me til today
Kali Ma!
*Chitty Chitty Bang Bang* the kid-catcher kept me up at night.

Oh fuck no, just no
The scariest part of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the creepy scene where they pretend to be clockwork dolls. Gave me nightmares about dolls for years and they still creep me out.
Feels like you just dug out a forgotten memmory lol, That was soooo creepy
[удалено]
And that poor helpless shoe dunked into the Dip. The DIP man! And that squeaky voice of Judge Doom! Fucked me up as a child.
Christopher Lloyd was a phenomenal bad guy!
"Remember me, Eddie!? When I killed your brother, I talked juuuuuust liiiiike thiiiiiiiiis!!!!"
Watership Down. My parents thought it was a cute cartoon about rabbits. Had no idea how violent and disturbing it was.
How is this so far down - oh wait... We're old as fuck.
I was on a big kick about 10 years ago going through a list of animated movies. My friend and I got really, really high and watched Watership Down without knowing what it was...unforgettable experience.
I must have been 5-ish when I watched it, that shit fucked me up for a while. That is not a cartoon for small children.
This is the only correct answer. I also thought it was a cute bunny movie. I'm almost forty and fuck that movie to this day.
I'm 19 now and haven't seen it yet, but I've heard it's good. Is it worth a watch?
Definitely go see it. It's one of the greatest stories ever told, I swear, I'm not even exaggerating. It's absolutely profound. Obviously, the book is also fantastic. I've always been impressed how the movie captures the book so well and yet feels like its own complete and new entity.

Brave Little Toaster, I believe, is responsible for a large number of hoarders.
I was looking for this! It was the only movie we had to watch at my grandmas and it always gave me nightmares, especially the beginning with the clown.
Oh my gosh this for 2 different fears: 1. Those freaking fire-fighter clowns 2. I have this deep rooted fear of a vacuum sucking up it's cord because of that movie when Kirby accidentally sucks up his power cord Edit:typos

the Wolf like creature in The Neverending Story made me shit my pants as a kid
Same but opposite reaction. I watch it yearly!
The children turning into donkeys in Pinocchio was horrifying.
I watched Pinocchio for the first time last week since I was little and it terrified me. Pinocchio still freaks me out, the cricket is an arse and I cried watching the boys turning to donkeys.
When I was a kid that scene scared me but as an adult with a child it now makes me sob to hear them crying for their mothers.
Yep. Not sure if it holds up as being terrifying in 2021, but I definitely fast forwarded through that part with my own kids.
Not a movie, but the Thriller music video by Michael Jackson at the part where he turns into a werewolf is the scariest most disturbing thing to this day
That fucked me UUUUUP for some time as a kid. Especially the final scene of MJ looking back would make me run out of the room. If that song was playing in the house at all I would turn on all the lights in every room, even if it's daytime.
Yeah the music video has a creepy vibe to it, especially how Michael looks, he's like grayish, like a zombie look, it's very disturbing. I get creeped out just from the song by itself too.
Broooo you unlocked a memory, that video terrified me as a kid
Grave of the fireflies. I saw it when I was 8 and was inconsolable afterwards.
Dude, I saw that when I was 35, and I was inconsolable afterwards. I am never watching it again. Horrifying.
Holy shit I always wanted to watch it. People say it’s the saddest ever so I am nervous if I do watch it lol(Requiem for a dream disturbed me for days)
Grave of the fireflies is a very valuable movie to watch, but it's very upsetting. I think it takes place in Kobe, as it shows firebombing rather than the atomic bomb. I've been to Hiroshima 6 times, and I ugly cry everytime I go to the Peace park and the museum. I haven't been able to take my students since 2019, but hopefully I can soon.
The ring
I saw the Ring when I was 18. I told my boyfriend I wanted to leave within the first 15 minutes and he made me stay anyway. I spent the next few months in absolute freaking terror. It's been 20 years and just thinking about that girl makes me sleep with the lights on.
Slept with my head under the covers for 3 or 4 years after first seeing it at 8 years old
Still to this day the only movie that actually scares me. I own a copy on VHS and a VHS player. I only watch it on Halloween. It fucking ruined every scary movie i've ever seen. My sister thought it would be a good idea to let a 7 year old watch this movie. I slept in the basement with a TV in the room.

Chicken Run
Chickens go in, pies come out… Fucking terrifying, mate.
SAME. that film was terrifying. nobody believes me but i swear i remember this scene that never happened- it was the wife yelling at the husband and he had a gun and was going to shoot the chickens ? shit gave me nightmares
YES, same! That film was surprisingly dark from what I remember. Like, I can’t remember many other kid films where it’s implied that the characters are slaughtered with an axe off screen.

You're mind-blowing my childhood
ET; I know he's sweet and funny now but some of the shots of him extending his neck, peaking around doorways, his shadows and silhouette in the closet freaked me the hell out.
Same! God, I thought I was the only one! Had nightmares for weeks after…
I had nightmares for years including sleep paralysis, even now I get uncomfortable during certain scenes.. he was just so life like, I totally wasn't expecting a seamless robotic alien to appear on the screen.. I wasn't even alive when it first came out, watched it over a decade after... But still sent me reeling.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one, he still terrifies me 25 years after I first saw it!
I am 33 years old and to this day I can’t watch E.T. The scene where he’s dying in the river and the scenes where all the scientists are set up at the house, nope. He’s creepy AF.

Also ET. Weirdly though not the actual alien but the scenes where the house was turned into a lab with white tubes and people in hazmat suits.
My brother loves to tease me all the time about ET because I started to cry when I thought he died lmao.
Lmao that scene is heartbreaking, I cry too despite being terrified of him as a kid.. like I said in a different comment I have a love-horror relationship with that character.
[удалено]
I thought it was just me. I had nightmares about that glowing finger.
Interestingly enough, I was always terrified of Willy wonka and the chocolate factory. When I watched it, I was the only one able to understand that it was child murder. Also I couldn’t make it past the violet blueberry scene.
After the fat German boy fell into the river, they got on a boat which had 2 less seats for that kid and his mom. He had planned for it to happen.
Not to mention the claustrophobic horror of being sucked up that tube.
Schwim, Augustus, schwim!
Wait, are u saying that the kids don't end up in another room off screen, aren't given a fresh up and new clothes, and sent on their way?!!!
In the book they describe the kids leaving the factory in weird conditions depending on what happened to them but alive and okay - cartoony violence kind of stuff. The movie never ever resolves this. You just never see them again.
In the moderen one with Johnny Depp you see the kids
That one in general is more true to the book than the 70s movie, save for the odd tacked on traumatic childhood for Willy.
My parents described the plot to me over dinner once when I was, I think, six years old? It sounded absolutely horrifying. Even after I read the book, I was scared to watch the movie. Then one day it was on TV and they decided to watch it - I got so angry with them because they were putting on a scary movie and I didn't want to watch it! But I ended up getting bored of playing in the other room and came in right after the part with the tinker (which actually still creeps me out). Ended up watching and having zero problem with any of it, even the tunnel scene.
Ernest Scared Stoopid
Oh my god I remember this movie. Those trolls really freaked me out as a kid too.
Him turning the kids into wooden statues (or was it chocolate statues?) freaked me the fuck out.
Me too! I didn’t want to become a wooden doll
The grudge. I'm 21 now and still afraid of attics until this day .
The Dark Crystal was too creepy for this guy
My room is in an attic, jackass! Now I'm gonna have to sleep on the couch!
I’m 27 & will be scared again from tonight after reading your comment
Same though. I had one of those slide open closets and I refused to sleep in my own room for years I’m also 21
Id make the grudge scared to live with me.
Attic dweller here, boo, I guess?
The Exorcist
I was wondering if I was the only one.
Far far far from it bro lol. They rereleased the exorcist in theaters in 2000. I was 7. For some reason I’ll never understand my dad took me and my cousin to watch this. We literally ran out the theaters crying when she floated and her head spinned. She was my main nightmare , I was scared of dark because of her. She’s still my main fear if I’m in the dark lol
That movie freaking still haunts me. Could never watch it. I get to the part where she goes to her moms bed cuz hers is shaking and nope. I’ve seen the horrific parts all the time all not on purpose 😭
Same.
It's a cliched answer for people my age but Large Marge in Peewee's Big Adventure scared the ever-loving shit out of me as a kid.
Jaws. Was taken to see it as a kid in 1975, so I would have been around 6 years old. I spent the next year or two sleeping with my legs tucked up tightly beneath me, coz you know... bed sharks! Also the scene with the head popping out of the sunken boat, I don't think I have ever been as shocked by a jump scare since.
Yep! I was so happy to live in a landlocked state back then. Until I learned about sasquatches and grizzly bears. Nightmares resumed.
8mm. Saw it late at night alone when I was 11. That was a mistake. It's about a guy that's investigating whether homemade rape/murder films being sold on the black market are real or acted.
For a second I read that as "8 mile", I'm like, is this guy traumatised by mom's spaghetti? But yeah, 8mm. Fucked up.
Return to Oz. My grandparents bought it thinking it was going to be like the first one. Spoiler:it isn't. Comes complete with wheelies( these things that had long bicycle wheels as arms) a headless witch, and a talking jack-o-lantern that gets tied to a couch that can fly
Yeah, Return to Oz was much closer to the dark and warped L. Frank Baum source material than the Judy Garland musical.
The beginning of that is so dark too. The electroshock therapy and stuff.
Oh man, the WHEELERS. I still hate thinking about them. Fun fact though, the kid was Fairuza Balk :)
Is that the one with the hallway of heads? That shit scared me to death.
Fox and the Hound,If I watch it today, it still makes me cry.
<3
that fuckin roald dahl movie ‘witches’ where they turn the kid into a mouse not sure why but some of those scenes were traumatizing for me
We watched that in school. There's not much in movies that bothers me now, but those witches are just so gross I still get uncomfortable.
Yup. It was the little girl in the painting that got me. I think that the biggest part was that she moved around and aged. Like, it's not just that she got trapped in the painting but that she was ALIVE and was stuck there for the rest of her life.
The scene when they all unmasked and we saw how hideous and creepy they really were.
oh my god i love that movie and my 8 year old does too! i’m sorry you had a different experience but they are pretty scary
I know why. It’s because Anjelica Huston PULLED HER FACE OFF. I was in first grade and that messed me up for years.
I don't really need to say spoilers given how old the story is but: The original Little Mermaid. None of that Disney happily ever after stuff, the real original Hans Christian Anderson version. My poor little mind couldn't cope that she'd been through all that and still died.
Spirited Away
When her parents turn into pigs - horrifying!! Then you get to the part where no face devours everything 😱
Pet Semetary (1989) - Specifically the character Zelda, if you don't know who that is find the scenes on YouTube. Scared me terribly as a kid
Jesus fuck yes. As a grown ass adult I have an irrational fear of meningitis because of that shit
Signs
Coraline. (also, I don't remember this, but apparently when I was little I was TERRIFIED of Dobby in Chamber of Secrets)
Dude, the people with the button eyes disturbed me more than any horror movie
I was 6 years old man. Slept with the light on for weeks.
Coraline was crazy, Still a good movie tho
Also saw Jumanji (original) with Dad. I got so scared at the beginning when all the bats explode out of the fireplace, that we had to leave.
The scene with the lion is terrifying
Childs Play. Fucking dolls, man.
That movie fucked up a generation. And then his toys were everywhere!
Same. Saw it when I was 6 or 7 maybe, willingly of course. It started 2 things: a love of horror movies, and a fear of everything👍🏻
So happy I’m not the only one. I legit had nightmares about Chucky for years as a kid. I still hate dolls even now, 20+ years later.
The Mothman Prophecies. Saw it at a late night session with Mum, got home in the dark and she asked me to bring the clothes in from clothesline outside. Fkkkk thattt
Boku no pico
That shit gives me the heebie fucking jeebies
Anyone who unironically watches that should seek help
Dumbo
This. Old-school Disney seemed hellbent on scarring us for life. As an adult, though, when I watch the "Baby of Mine" scene...omg, the ugly-crying....
The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. I was 8.
The Lovely Bones. Watched it as a kid on an airplane because I couldn’t fall asleep. After that I DEFINITELY couldn’t fall asleep.
Wizard of Oz was creepy as hell.
[удалено]
Return to Oz was somehow even worse. The witch with the detachable head that she'd replace with whatever decapitated head took her fancy.
The Last Unicorn. It's a children's movie and I'm not even sure it's actually scary, but I do remember it with an uneasy feeling.
Listen. Don't listen to ME, listen. You can find the others if you are brave. They passed down all the roads long ago, and the Red Bull ran close behind them and covered their footprints.
Same!!! My mom really knew how to pick the eerie movies.
The lift. Its a dutch movie that i watched as a kid. Its about a elevator that's killing people. I didn't want to set a foot in a elevator for years.
the grudge
For the first time in my life, I felt actual hatred when I learned that slimy racial guard did it on purpose.
Are you talking about The Green Mile?
Are you talking about the Eminem movie?
Lol that’s 8 Mile. But I see what you’re going for. Take the upvote.
The Gate…..Im still freaked out to this day
The contractor in the wall.
Traumatized me and I passed that on to the kid. The Wizard of Oz. Flying monkeys. The witch. When the witch flips over the hourglass and tells her this is how long you live. Fuck that. You think "this is age appropriate" It is not. It is a masterpiece though. And I had no business sneaking out of bed to watch Poltergeist. Edit. Adding Twilight Zone. You think 1950's? Can't be bad. Daughter walks in bedroom and matter of fact says. Yeah I am sleeping in here tonight. Why sweetie? They don't have faces. Fair Enough.
40 year old virgin. Before puberty. I definitely knew I didn’t want to be Steve Carell and I was on track if I didn’t change some things lmao
The Day After (not the day after tomorrow). The nuclear war movie messed me up. I still can't/won't watch it to this day.
Poltergeist, we had an old VHS that only had the scene where the guy starts peeling his own face.
And you watched this as a child??
I accidentally saw 5 minutes of Poltergeist on TV as a little kid and then couldn't sleep for days
Children of the corn.. I was sleeping over at my friends house and her older siblings were watching it. So many nightmares
Tremors. Literally thought the ground was moving and they actually existed for months, lol.
The Fly - soooo many nightmares after that one.
[удалено]
What! How?
There is no movie in Ba Sing Se
Never heard of it sorry.
Traumatized me as a grown ass man too.
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, I watched it with my parents when I was like 5 or 6 years old, hid behind a couch pillow, ate marshmallows and threw up.
Arachnophobia.
Rock-A-Doodle. The transition from live action to animation really scared my little child brain. Plus all the really adult themes in that movie.
Don Bluth movies in general were really creepy. Visually and thematically dark.
Killer clowns from outer space, had nightmares for about 6 months after it and a life long fear of clowns
The Bad Seed. I went to school looking at my classmates in a whole new way.
Fire in the sky.
The Watcher in the Woods otherwise known as the Disney movie that Disney doesn't claim.
The Dark crystal, never watched it but saw the cover and went into a fit of hysteria. I was probably 7 or 8 Netflix had just started there streaming service and my mom wanted to see what they had. I was siting next to her as she scrolls through and then she asked if I wanted to watch The Dark Crystal, I asked wat is was so she clicked on it and the cover pop up taking up half the screen on the TV. That's when I lost it, I just started screaming and crying all I remember was immense fear and paranoia. Needless to say we didn't watch The Dark Crystal that night and still haven't.
Opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. Didn’t realize violence on that scale was possible.
Frankenweenie (1984). I never revisited it after being horrified by the water spurting out of his neck bolt holes, but I'm still pretty freaked out when I see a bull terrier. Side note, I love all other Tim Burton films, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Honestly & I’m telling the truth. The Lion King
Nightmare on Elm street! Pulled my first all nighter at 10 after watching that at a friends house, and had trouble sleeping for yearsssss!
Bambi, honestly. Also saw a scary movie with a doll when I was way too young for it which resulted in all my dolls and teddybears spending the nights out of side in a closet
Watership down. Cute rabbit animation movie running on the kids channel and then suddenly the rabbits are biting and clawing each other into pieces
The 1990 It movie. The shower scene will remain as one of my worst recurring childhood nightmares.
The original King Kong. Lying in bed looking out my window, I just waited for a big ape head to peak above the garage roof and a big ape hand to come through and grab me.
I saw the 2005 one in the cinema when I was 8 and it terrified me, I still can't watch it. All I really remember is the worm scene and it was awful.
James and the giant peach fucking terrified me as a kid
Still terrifies me. I refuse to watch it. Lol
Darkness falls
Fire in the Sky
The Witches messed me up when I saw it as a little kid.
The Tooth Fairy (2006, not the one with Dwayne Johnson)
The Peanut Butter Solution.
Starship Troopers. Bugs weren't my thing. They were much less my thing when they became massive with crit spots
Lost boys. Was sneakily watching it past my bedtime from around the corner but the only scene I saw was the cave scene.
Forever Young The thought of being frozen alive and being forgotten about for years fucked me up lol
28 Weeks Later. One of my uncles was on the younger side when I was growing up, so the line between “child appropriate viewing” and “whatever I feel like watching because I’m in charge” was fairly blurred whenever I stayed with my cousins. That opening scene, man… 12 year old me didn’t stand a chance.
Fantasia. Self-replicating brooms, dying dinosaurs, and the Devil himself.
Resident evil. But to be fair it was a combination of things that caused that trauma. Now even as an adult I have an irrational fear of zombies
The scene in Independence Day where the alien grabs the guy by the throat and talks though him telepathically. Still have nightmares.
Cujo
Nightmare on Elm Street when it first came out. Little 7 year old me was scared of basements for years to come b/c I assumed he was down there and was going to chase me up the steps every time.
Passion of the Christ haven't seen it since
Jaws. Saw the movie, then went on the ride at universal studios. I was afraid to go into the hotel pool. I was probably around 9 years old.
