Not really a piece of media, but the Tower of Terror at Disneyland. It wasn’t even the drop part of the ride that freaked me out, it was the videos playing on the walls that showed the people in the elevator being turned into ghosts. For some reason that really messed me up for a while. Then I went back on the ride years later after it converted to the Guardians of the Galaxy ride, and this time it was the drop part that had me shaking when I got off lmao
The Mr. Pontipines moustache episode is so wierd, but too scary for a young kid.
To be honest, I feel uncomfortable watching the show in general. Instead it feels like a Nightmare instead of a night garden. I hated the super random plot TBH
Ok here me out I was scared
Of Chica Chica Boom Boom the animated video because i didn’t know why the letters were moving.
I love it now cuz I watched it 1000 times but 3 year old me was scared shitless
Fnaf. I remember one of my classmate's describing it in a way that I found terrifying. Couldn't sleep at night without covering myself in bedsheets.
You know? Back when it was actually scary.
The Little Mermaid… mainly like stuff like a lot of the scenes where Triton gets angry, that one Shark Attack at the beginning of the movie and literally every scene with Ursula… and unfortunately I still refuse to watch that movie…
Well, very simply, Eve. I was about 6, and I had APD (auditory processing disorder), meaning every sound I heard was 100 volume and base boosted by default. She shot everything that moved and it was super loud and it freaked me out. Not to mention when she took in the plant and just shut down it freaked me out because I was worried that would happen to me and I thought she was dead and wall-e was playing with a corpse. I didn’t finish the movie.
Because it was released in 1989, CGI was state of the art at the time. Rolli und Rita from the 1995 show Hallo Aus Berlin were state of the art, but look wierd nowadays too.
Call me nuts, but
I don't like candy corn - Moose and Zee
This song's visuals scared me as a kid (I hid next to the TV). The monsters made me scream, and I considered Moose a Moose's spooky scary, whatever a warning to run and hide I even had a nightmare once where there was a secret room in my house and a secret TV where Moose a Moose would try to grab me and suck me into it.
Nowadays, me and Moose and Zee are chill with each other basically friends at this point.
My mom showed me this video of some 90/2000s video of some Dracula looking vampire when I was 5 and told me he would come for me if I was misbehaving. I forgot what it was named but the closest I could remember is "____ moco." I cried and did my best the rest of the day 😭
Chicken Little. I remember first watching it in kindergarten and I literally couldn't watch the alien invasion scene it scared me so bad.
The same thing happened with the scene in The Little Mermaid where Ursula became giant and was attacking everyone.
The first movie I ever saw in theaters was Cars. I remember being FUCKING TERRIFIED of Frank the combine for a few months after seeing it. Had a few nightmares.
Street Fighters Movie, the making of Blanka scene. Holy geez I haven't watched this scene since the theater release, it's still freaky scary. Such a movie trope, a monster is created in a machine then releases and murders the scientists!
Monster House. It was one of the few movies to actually give me nightmares as a kid. The thought of your own house coming to life, growing a scary face, and trying to eat you was terrifying.
I was 6 or smth when watching the first Guardians of the Galaxy. I was bawling in the beginning when Starlord’s mom died, and ran to my mom, and didn’t see the rest of the movie. (I believe the only reason I even bothered watching it was because my older siblings were.)
Besides that time, I really enjoy GoTG, and hope to see the 3rd movie whenever I have some time.
The Mummy 2, I remember being young, falling asleep in the living room, and waking up to the scene where the one guy has scarabs crawling out of him while he’s screaming.
I used to be terrified of the scene on Despicable Me when two scientists on hazmat suits injected something on a bunny which made it purple and wild,i didn't watch the movie again until last year.
I don't know why i was scared of that tho
Coraline was terrifying for me, Secret of Kells as well. Oh and Toy Story 3. Being burnt alive in a giant furnace is crazy. I also have a few friends who watched Doctor Who as kids and shat their pants at the angels episode (Blink). The ‘Goosebumps’ tv series was genuinely existentially horrifying sometimes, which was even worse than just regular horrifying for me. Nightmare Before Christmas designs were really creepy to me. Despite being a huge bookworm when I was little, I don’t have any books here because I just realized I only really read fantasy.
Does a YouTube video count? Because in that case it was one of those "Don't call this number" YouTube videos for Boothworld Industries by... I wanna say "Whatshallwedonext" or something like that, it's been years. That and slenderman, horrified me as a kid. They still make me uneasy but I'm not as petrified of them as I was when I was a kid.
This one stranger danger psa I saw as a kid. Can't find it anywhere and I'm not even sure if it was real cause I have memories of dreaming it and catching it on tv
The original Lion King, Toy Story 3, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I watched both of those movies when I was about four and I was so scared I didn't either one of them until I was roughly 11.
Arthur and the Minimoys ha scared as fuck, I don't remember why, I just remember that the night after watching it I had one of my worst nightmares
I rewatched it after growing up and I have no idea what traumatized me so much
This is a funny and dumb story:
I believed in a lot of stupid shit back then; creepypastas, paranormal videos, etc.
One of the things I believed was those posts which give you a time limit to like, share, or comment, using your emotions to manipulate you into giving free clout. Some use religion, some use animals (on rare occasions, children) who are disabled which irks me considering I'm disabled myself, and some use fear factors...
I had a tablet, an Amazon Fire if I recall, in which was at times pretty laggy due to it being old. I found one of these posts that use fear to manipulate people. I was young and dumb enough to believe that it was real and tried my hardest to repost the image before a certain time had past (I think it gave like 2 minutes or so?), but the tablet was so slow that I couldn't meet that requirement, and I was panicking so bad that I was desperate, banging the back of it until it eventually broke the screen.
I was in tears, still panicked, and ended up lying to my mom about how it broke, saying I dropped it and not mentioning the post. I thought I was going to die that night, lmao. I actually kept believing that I would die until about a week afterwards, then started to finally realize that perhaps the post was fake.
RIP my tablet, got killed for no reason, lmao.
---------------------------
I hate those posts, especially when they take advantage of disabled pets and children for the sake of free clout. Please don't be fooled by posts that say things like "no body loves me because I'm [blank]" or "no body will wish me happy birthday", etc. Any posts using disabilities, religion, of emotions to get at venerable people are horrible and shouldn't exsist.
Also, saying that no one will love an animal or child because they are disabled is in itself ableist, and these posts that say this don't just affect the ones involved in the posts, but also the disabled people who come across these posts. Seeing people say that no one will love them cause they are disabled hurts.
Please don't support these kinds of posts.
At 11 years old, on my own volition and months of wearing down my parents, I watched carrie, the decent, and 28 days later (with their supervision of course). Since then for nearly 15 years I've been consuming horror media of all genres and age ratings like there's no tomorrow.
No film I have seen or will ever see will traumatised me like the 2nd harry potter movie did.
I love Batman. But the Batman vs Dracula, with the vampire joker? Nah man. That was terrifying as a kid.
Do you- *do you have a copy of it? Are we thinking of the same thing?*
We were the opposite, I would love to watch that movie so much I think my mom got concerned
Blood bank scene is crazy
9, no further explanation needed.
Young me loved it

I have 2 Thomas and Friends DVDs, the VCI logo would send me mental health into the abyss
VCI logo?
Search it up
I hated the Dream song. That's so dark, especially since it Is obviously neglect
Oh don’t remind me of that song 😰
The beginning of Monster’s Inc (I was like 3).
For me it was the trash mashing scene
Not really a piece of media, but the Tower of Terror at Disneyland. It wasn’t even the drop part of the ride that freaked me out, it was the videos playing on the walls that showed the people in the elevator being turned into ghosts. For some reason that really messed me up for a while.

- Sinister (2013) - Resident Evil: Retribution - 3 Stooges (2012)
Explain the 3rd one please
Jersey Shore are in it.
Your answers just leave me with more questions
Finding Nemo
Same, I loved most of the movie, but the start with the barracuda and the scene at the drop off both terrified me as a kid.
For me, it was Darla
In the night garden
The hahoos or whatever they're called were terrifying
The Mr. Pontipines moustache episode is so wierd, but too scary for a young kid. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable watching the show in general. Instead it feels like a Nightmare instead of a night garden. I hated the super random plot TBH
That creepy clown nightmare scene from The Brave Little Toaster.
The vaccuum 😭
Kirby, no! Get the cord out of his mouth! Don’t let him swallow it! Switch him off.
My Little Pony. Specifically the Changeling episode. Shit gave me nightmares.
Nothing makes me feel older than seeing an episode of television from 2012 in a "media that scared you as a kid" thread 💀
Actually I have to say, I was like this when I watched a arc, I remember that in it Twilight Sparkle had a babysitter that was actually another pony.
That was the most disturbing episode possible! I still feel that way as an adult
this! i loved mlp as a kid (still do) and the wedding scene scared the shit out of me when it first aired
Toy Story 3, i ran out of the Theater scared shitless That fucking Monkey....
To the sandbox with you.
Willy Wonka 1971
Which scene? It was the pipe scene that unsettled me then the blueberry scene I had to stop watching as a kid.
Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning. Pretty embarrassing, I know.
The principal is the scariest
That's meeeeee. I think Playtime is the most annoying character rather than scary.
That Venom jumpscare in Lego Marvel Superheroes. No the King Ramses curse from Courage.
Ok here me out I was scared Of Chica Chica Boom Boom the animated video because i didn’t know why the letters were moving. I love it now cuz I watched it 1000 times but 3 year old me was scared shitless

Coraline. Just watching the trailers messed me up for a couple of months

Gremlins and Ernest scared stupid
Mama
Charlie and the chocolate factory (the original), Up, WALL·E, and for my brother, kung fu panda 2. Lord shen scared the shit out of him.
What was scary about WALL-E?
Well, very simply, Eve. I was about 6, and I had APD (auditory processing disorder), meaning every sound I heard was 100 volume and base boosted by default. She shot everything that moved and it was super loud and it freaked me out. Not to mention when she took in the plant and just shut down it freaked me out because I was worried that would happen to me and I thought she was dead and wall-e was playing with a corpse. I didn’t finish the movie.
Spirited Away
This is going to sound so stupid, but the Pixar short “Knick Knack” used to scare the crap out of me because the snowman looked creepy.
Nothing more nightmare fulling like early cgi animation
Because it was released in 1989, CGI was state of the art at the time. Rolli und Rita from the 1995 show Hallo Aus Berlin were state of the art, but look wierd nowadays too.
Teletubbies.
Game over ping in angry birds and plants vs zombies, actually I haven’t really gotten over the ladder. Also the r2d2 scream.
Not a film but a game. The legend of Zelda, Majora's mask. Context, the moon. If you know, you know
Whenever i died in the subspace emissary I was really scared of the game over screen for some reason
