What movie did you see too young that still haunts you to this day?
10mon 19d ago by lemmy.world/u/WhatsHerBucket in asklemmy@lemmy.ml
The Truman show
So much existential dread
The Never Ending Story. I was 28. Still shaken a couple decades later.
Poor horse
No spoilers!
That's not fair. The story literally never ends.
LOL
The film ends about 1/3 into the book. And the book gets dark
I am actually trying to read a water damaged copy of the book, lent to me by a friend who named her son Atreyu.
The internet and grad school have combined in an attempt to destroy my ability to read a paper book.
Maybe a story that never ends is too big a challenge in my quest to regain that ability?
Nah, I love dark shit and I can’t wait to get to the part where he meets the nihilistic tortise with allergies. I am really curious to see what the film makers were working with from the book.
I saw this the first time I actually got high, I was probably 15 or 16. I don't think I've laughed that hard since, I was absolutely not prepared for Falcor going in.
Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Damn you, Large Marge!
I disagree. More children's movies need a good horror scene. Builds character.
The boat scene from Willy Wonka is another good one.
willy wonka is a materpiece
The Fly
Same here. 🤮😵💫
hahah same ! must have been 5 or so. I distinctly remember a woman entering the appartment/lab and Goldblum going "hi, whatsername" while all glued to the ceiling like a proto-fly. These two seconds have been chasing me for thirty years.
I'm assuming the Cronenberg version.
I was in college when I watched that for the first time and I still think I was too young.
The scarab scene in The Mummy
The mummy is the only movie I can think of to ever give me a nightmare. And it was that damn scarab scene.
Yes holy shit that haunted me for YEARS
The world premiere of the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video scared the fucking shit out of me. I ran out of the room screaming when MJ turned to his date and had yellow demon cat eyes. Man fuck that.
This is what I was going to say too!
I'm not sure if it was the premiere, but I do remember being called to come and see it - so it must have been some sort of event, or else they wouldn't have called me in specially.
Anyway, yeah, those eyes at the end. The rest didn't bother me at all, but those eyes haunted me for years.
Well I wasn't too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it's just...really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.
Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.
This is the first title that I thought of when reading the thread
Most depressing movie for sure. So hard to watch. I get a dark feeling even thinking about some of those scenes and character arcs
Event Horizon
i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later
I was too young when I first saw this too. (I was in my 20s)
I'm 50 and I'm still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I've ever seen.
One of my dad's favorite movies. We would run through the den on the way to kitchen whenever he had it on. Definitely gave me nightmares at age 10 and for years afterwards.
Hell yeah brother
Great film, other than the weird trope of "they speak Latin in hell for some unexplained reason", which always bugs me
The scene where one guy shoves his whole forearm down his own throat is... unforgettable.
Funnily enough, I've forgotten it. Seen the film 2 or 3 times, too!
That was cut from some versions of the movie.
As someone who's never seen it, I feel like I need to watch it now.
That guy spoke Latin before he went to Hell. You can hear him using it to make a pronouncement on the log just before things went bad.
Ah, had forgotten that. Plus, it's never confirmed the ship has literally been to hell - just someplace weird, awful and magical.
The Brave Little Toaster.
Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.
Hey, my now very adult daughter feels the same way about The Fox and the Hound. Not judging.
Underworld
I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me
Also, girls in leather
Sometimes I wonder if seeing the Masked Magician as a child was a stepping stone to my interest in women. I've rewatched clips of it as an adult. Why was it so horny? As a kid I remember cool magic tricks. But like... Why the industrial BDSM looking sets and constant comments about the women's bodies? I guess that was just more "normal" then. But then again maybe it wasn't, I remember hearing that Penn has a problem with that guy because he's a creep? Who fucking knows.
My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that "Pulp Fiction" was on, decided to watch it because he "heard it was pretty good".
It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn't turn it off sooner 🤷🏻
I bet you were pretty fucking far from OK eh?
Grave of the fireflies
I watched this one, pretty haunting, there is only one in my opinion (only counting movjes that I have watched) that comes close and thats Come and See, a soviet film set in Belarus during german ocupation
Come and See is so brutal.
Ouch
I was like 6 when i saw some of The Ring. It fucked me up for a long time.
Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn't old enough to handle that yet, apparently
One of my friends recommended this, and I had to turn it off a few minutes in. That movie is insane.
Jaws.
Titanic.
I now fear most bodies of water.
Jaws was scary because of shark.
Titanic was scary because of iceberg.
Water did nothing wrong.
Water did nothing wrong.
What do you think icebergs are made of?
sharks ?
Ice, duh. It was planted by the CIA, anyway.
Wow, I never knew the CIA faked building the Titanic.
Nope. I'm afraid of it. And it's 2025 so that means we ban it. No more water!
Jaws is a lesson about the shark’s house
:D
I hadn't seen that one--funny. Seriously, though, Jaws is about human greed/unethical behavior and relationships. I consider it a drama more than a creature feature.
Aw shit. You just reminded me of seeing Jaws from the back seat of the station wagon at the drive in at 7 when I was supposed to be sleeping.
The Shining
Yeah, that movie is legit creepy as fuck.
It's a really good surreal kind of creepiness towards the end that I can definitely see having an impact on a kid. Stanley Kubrick was great.
Just seeing pictures of Freddy Krueger in the TV timetable magazine (whatever do you call those?) scarred me for life and had me imagining him under my bed.
As a too young kid I saw the scene of him grabbing the boy and pulling him inside the bed and then blood sprayed out of the bed. And uh.. 40 years later it still affects me. Yeah, don't show that stuff to kids, people! It does affect them even though they'll never talk about it!
I loved it as a young kid (despite the occasional nightmare) and am still an avid horror fan to this day.
Not exactly a movie, but my older sisters had me watch the original IT mini-series when I was very young and I had clown nightmares for years after.
Oddly, I think this series is why i have arachnaphobia. Clowns I'm good with though for some reason.
If you know about how Pennywise works, this is really funny.
Event Horizon when I was 10. I think that recalibrated what the entire concept of fear was in my mind.
Same for me, maybe I was a bit older but it scared the bejesus out of me and got me into reading scifi
Oh man I said the same thing. The topless dead woman nightmare scene is seared into my memory.
Saw Robocop when I was six. Murphy getting his arm blown to bits haunted me for years.... Until I saw Red Foreman years later, then I was ok
Same. Emil getting doused in toxic waste still haunts me.
I was 17 when I saw the shotgun-to-the-hand scene and it freaked me the fuck out.
Paul Verhoeven is one sick fuck. I'll watch anything he's made.
Salem's Lot.
It was forbidden, but on TV, so I'd flip channels to watch it in 30 second clips. It was far more terrifying that way, as I found out later in life; watched all the way through, it was a fairly mediocre film.
Man, if you caught the scene of Barlow sitting up in his coffin screaming, you got the gist of it.
My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind's eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called "Faces of Death" and a movie called "Pink Flamingos". Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn't seem as bad as I remembered, but it's not a great scene to have stuck in your head...
Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.
I have no clue what the movie was. All I know is that my grandmother was watching it while I was in the same room. I remember being too bored to pay attention at 4 years old or so. Except when I looked over at the screen and saw a man put a gun to his head he pull the trigger. The music went silent after and we got an areal shot of the blood spreading. It left such an impression it’s one of my earliest memories.
The Road
I've read the book first and that ruined a good portion of the following week. The basement scene still haunts me today. Honestly I don't dare to touch the movie now ...
I don't think anyone is ever old enough for that movie. That scene with the people in the basement still haunts me.
Never seen or read it, but am in the middle of Blood Meridian from the same author... Yeah, I get it.
Event Horizon. I saw the first half as part of the second half of a double feature at the drive-in theater with my family. I think Men in Black was the first feature. I was 9 when I saw that topless dead woman scene. It's such an underrated movie.
Oh my God yes! I was about the same age when my dad brought me to see it in theaters. Holy shit I couldn't sleep for a few days. Love how the ship gives Warhammer 40k vibes watching it now
Wasn't it partially based on that universe?
While not officially, there are just way too many subtle nods like the ship obviously going through the warp.
Watership Down as a really young kid.
Schindler's List as a young teen.
Schindler's list at 7 years old
Yeah you win 😬
Watership Down.
Same. I must have watched it when I was in early primary school. Still hold the image of bloodied rabbits tearing and clawing at each other. WTF was that about?
Bridge to terrabithia
Wasn't really to young but didn't know what to expect and got emotionally crushed by accident. Just heard it was a good movie and put it on one evening.
The book really messed up my class.
Poltergeist
American History X. Curb stomping was a lot for 13 year old me to process.
Life of Brian
Final destination
Saw
The Exorcist. I was about 8 years old. It was on tv one Saturday night. At church the next morning I had a bunch of questions and needed some consoling.
The trailer for Aliens was my introduction to the notion that maybe monsters could get through locked doors!
As an adult, it's one of my all-time favourites.
Aliens is pretty wild like that, saw it when I was maybe 9 or 10, the concept of perfect intelligent killing machines with acid for blood and corpos wanting to smuggle them home was too much for me and left me doing an OCD check out my window before bed in case the queen was just tromping around outside, now I have the blu-ray collection but I still struggle to play alien isolation, too immersive
My mom would never watch "Mad about you" because "he was the bad guy in Aliens"
The Day After
I ain't been nuked yet, but you never know...
Safe to say that we were all pretty nuke-aware when that came out. It certainly didn't help assuage our anxieties.
My parent’s sex tape that I watched last year.
I too was traumatized by watching SatansMaggotyCumFart's parent's sex tape.
I have no idea why I bought it, and even less idea why SatansMaggotyCumFart would release it.
I think the third time I watched was the worse viewing.
My 3rd watch was bad too. You finally get over the shock factor and can really focus in on the details then.
My wife made me stop at two viewings. I'll tell her we have to push through.
I still feel bad for those horses
Hey! Spoilers!
I mean, is it too much to ask that people wipe the Santorum off before the salad tossing begins?
I think I was ten when a friend and I asked his big sister if we could watch with her. We could, but I still think A Nightmare on Elm Street was a bit too much for me back then.
E. T.
I don't care that it was rated P. G., they killed my friend and I was just as sad as Elliot. The tubes and the quarantine were absolutely terrifying to me as a child and even seeing clips nowadays gives sends a shiver down my spine. Just sadness and fear.
Jurassic Park, I was 8. Saw it at the cinema and was hiding behind the seats. It still hits a bit hard.
Star Trek: First Contact scared me shitless as a kid. They made a fucking Star Trek horror film. As an adult, I'd say 8/10 movie.
Sorry, but you're wrong. That movie is in fact a solid 10/10.
Im not even sure how many times I've watched First Contact. One of my favorite episodes is the one where Worf devolves into an actual werewolf.
A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I was 8, my Mom said I wasn't allowed to watch it. I watched it at a friend's house.
I was so sure that night that Freddy was going to grab me through the bed like he did to Johnny Depp that I went to my Mom in her room and admitted to her that I watched it then promptly vomited on her due to the accumulated fear.
Idk what it was called but there was a movie where a group of people got trapped in a flooded underpass that I watched at 7 or so that gave me recurring nightmares for years.
Also I saw Munich in theaters when I was 13 because my mom thought it would be an informative historical film and we ended up having to sneak out (I’ve only left a movie once since then! Some terrible christmas comedy).
Was the movie Daylight (1996)?
I think that might be it!
That sounds like Daylight with Sly. Always forget that one exists.
Not exactly a movie, but a cartoon series.
It was that episode of Power Puff Girls where they went to a dystopic future and everything was a hellscape dominated by Him. That episode made me think about my mortality and future regrets.
"future regrets" is such a trippy phrase
The ring, when I was 11. I was scared for years
I saw it around the same age and can still remember seeing that dead girl's swirly face in the closet. Overall I didn't think it was too scary overall but that scene has always stuck with me. I was exposed to a lot of this type of stuff as a kid with siblings 8-10 years older than me and can remember watching Tales from the Crypt several years before this, so horror has never really frightened me apart from the first 85% of Hereditary.
In scrolled so far to find this and fuck yeah that messed me up, was way too young and my sister terrorized me with it
That movie scared the hell out of me when I was in High School. I crashed someone else's date to see it.
Arachnophobia
It doesn't actually still haunt me (I'm the family spider hunter) but I did get nightmares for a while from that one.
I have mild arachnophobia because of that movie. I have been frozen in a pet store for five minutes because the snake I was trying to get a good look at was housed next door to the tarantula that I didn't notice until I was too close.
I had the same experience with that movie! By the way, please try not to kill spiders...
A.I. Artificial Intelligence by Steven Spielberg. Not sure if I was too young, but the emotions still haunt me to this day.
Mini correction, that was a Stanley Kubrick film, Spielberg finished it when Kubrick died... The last 15 minutes are all Spielberg, really ruined the movie, had 3 spots where the movie said have ended but Spielberg does happy endings, Kubrick would have ended it much differently
Yeah, Spielberg is a genius, but that wasn't his best work.
True, but he did have a lot of involvement, his wife told him kubric isn't allowed in the bedroom anymore because spielberg apparently had a fax machine in the bedroom and Stanley being Stanley would non stop message with new ideas, directions for the project.
That was when Spielberg stopped being involved with the project until years later
Gremlins
I recently showed this movie to someone and I didn’t remember it being that scary/gory! This is some crazy PG movie lol
Pretty sure Gremlins caused the creation of a new certification in the US. Too many complaints about it being PG.
Yep, it and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! The first PG-13 movie was Red Dawn, which would probably be R today.
You know those movies as a young kid that you watch over and over? This was mine. From like 7 to 12 I would have these recurring dreams of a school with a flag in front and then going the stairs into a basement. I wondered where the hell it was coming from, then I watched the intro to the movie again in my 20s.
I was recently listening to a podcast interviewing Chris Columbus on how they adapted the novel. It was the first thing he wrote that got picked up. I've never read the original screenplay, but they ended up cutting out the most graphic stuff. For example, at one point a disembodied head comes rolling down the stairs due to gremlin shenanigans.
So you experience could definitely have been worse.
Lol, my parents for some completely out of character reason I'll never understand took me to see Gremlins 2 when I was 8. This was not a request from me, Im pretty sure I had never heard of Grenlins before. I loved it, but I'm not sure it didn't traumatize me.
The weirdest thing, I didn't find out that this and Poltergeist weren't kids movies until highschool. It's been a bit of a wild ride since because I keep running into movies that aren't as pg as I remember.
Grave of the Fireflies. I was around 24 years old.
Same, but I still recommend the movie to everyone. It haunts in all the right ways.
That Tom Hanks movie where he's stranded on an island after a plane crash when I was 6.
I saw it a day before taking my first plane ride and going over sea.
Castaway
Yeah, that one
Wilson!
Aliens. Must have been 12 or so. A boring sunday and my friend's mom drove us to the cinema. (In Germany the movie was rated 16) but we didn't bounce off at the desk. I was not exactly horrified, but so ... thrilled. After that I dived a bit too deep into the H.R.Giger universe, I guess.
Aliens is the James Cameron sequel which is a bit more action than horror. Did you mean Alien or Aliens?
Aliens. The second part was my first of the series.
Fire in the Sky. Still haven’t rewatched it decades later.
Threads, not a good movie for 5 year olds.
I saw that for the first time last year, and I can tell you that it's bloody disturbing to a 44 year old too.
Jurrassic Park
Glad to see I’m not alone. I seen the movie when I was about 4 and had nightmares of raptors for two decades.
Wow. Did see it as 6 year old. I was scared for long time going in tthe forest. Sadly we lived in the forest.
A hokey 80s movie called "The Guardian". Its not scary at all but there was a tree with a face on it, and it hit me at the right age and scared the bejesus out of me for some reason. I don't think I understood the plot at the time, just scary tree face.
I saw Full Metal Jacket when I was 12. That one took a while to get over.
I saw that around that age too. The scene with the sniper still haunts me.
Saw the thing when i was like 9-10. Fucked me up
The Omen.
'It's all for you, Damien.'
Thank you for unlocking this horrifying memory for me. Great albeit disturbing movie and scene.
come and see, i think that main actor might also have got haunted by it
The Deer Hunter
My parents had the Killer Klowns from Outer Space VHS and I was too scared to watch it as a kid. It wasn't until my mid 20s I actually got to watch it and realize its very much a comedy and not scary at all.
Birds.. 30+ years later I'm still always a bit creeped out by them, especially sea gulls.
Mate?
Idk the movie but it was late 80s or early 90s, there was a guy with his head in a TV screen, which was on and had the image of a woman's mouth eating the head. Fucked me up for years as a kid because I had no context.
Eraserhead vibes.
Update:
It's not Eraserhead(Lynch), but I'm pretty sure the movie you were talking about is Videodrome(Cronenberg, 1983).
Equally unsettling film. I only watched Videodrome for the first time, last year at a Sunday double with The Thing.
Videodrome is an 80s TV critique, best to be in the right headspace if you plan on watching it.
The first Ghost busters movie
I saw scenes of it at six years old and some of them were really scary if you are too young. For weeks I had nightmares about chairs grabbing me with demon arms or demon dogs trying to eat me.
The last unicorn. That red bull gave me the creeps for months
Same, but I kept watching the movie again anyway.
I was 4 and my grandma was visiting and was supposed to look after me while my parents went out. They gave her the VHS of the first Terminator. I snuck into the living room and watched a bunch of it without her noticing. Afterwards, all the toy robots had to be taken out of my room because ‘the man with the red eye took his eye out’. My parents were then able to put one and one together.
Nowadays one of my favorite movies, tbh.
Fire In The Sky
silent screaming
I don't know the name and it was only one scene I saw passing by, something about giant spiders, and one dude was getting into the car to escape and a spider was inside waiting. It probably was in the second half of the 90s and it was on TV, so probably released in late 80s or early 90s. And I don't think it's arachnophobia, at least I haven't seen any scene that reminds me of my memory.
I've had phobia to spiders ever since.
If we consider watching the full movie, it did haunt me for so long and I still remember it with dread, critters. Fucking hate those puppets they used.
The Giant Spider Invasion, maybe? It was on MST3K, but I think it was pretty successful on initial release too.
That could be, but in a quick look I couldn't see the scene the way I remember it. It is definitely the same style. Thanks for trying to find it though!
No worries, hope you can ID it! 👍
If not arachnophobia, then perhaps starship troopers?
No, it wasn't starship troopers, I love that movie. It was a kinda realistic monster-horror movie, in other words based in current time planet earth. The only unrealistic thing was the size of the spiders as far as I know.
Eight Legged Freaks
"Akira" when I was 10-ish. Wanted to check what this anime thing was about, was not prepared for nuclear blasts, and people becoming giant body-horror amoebas. Still, it was a good intro into anime, along with Dominion Tank Police (another hilariously not-for-10-year-olds number). And set the bar way too high for most other ones I watched later.
Candyman. Candyman. Candy...
YES
They showed us 4 Rooms at summer camp when it had just come out on VHS. I was 13 but pretty sheltered and that movie was kind of nuts.
The Mangler. It's a B horror movie and some of the graphics, which I won't spoil, were more than my 7 year old brain could reconcile.
Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.
Oh and The Shining at the time (11 y/o home alone) really messed me up as well.
Spaceballs
...why?
Not entirely sure. "Haunts" is a little generous tbh, just kinda weird and fever-dreamy for a very young me.
"Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte". In my defense, I was about 6 years old when I saw it.
Contributing a DVD rip of that got me power user status on a private tracker once upon a time.
Haven't been there in a long time, but good memories.🍿
Great movie too.
Green Inferno. I’m a huge horror fan and am not bothered by gore, but man that cannibalism was so graphic I can’t shake the images.
Nothing But Trouble
The Exorcist
Fire in the sky. Alien abduction still freak me out
American News
The Thin Red Line
Tons of horror movies.
This is gunna sound stupid, but "Tales from the Hood." At the end of that movie, where you learned all the guys are already dead, in hell and the guy telling the stories is satan just scared the absolute shit outta me.
i must have missed that somehow and it sounds fantastic based on what i can remember from it.
silence of the lambs at like 8. still one if my all time faves but I definitely could've waited a few more years to get into it lol
The Naked Lunch. I was probably 10 years old? I didn't understand any of the plot, I was weirded the fuck out and the giant bugs made me sick to my stomach.
I got taken to see The Sixth Sense when I was like 10 lol
Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal.
Grizzly. Couldn't sleep the night I saw that one
Total Recall freaked me out pretty good and I saw it when I was like 32
Poltergeist 2 - specifically the braces scene, I was terrified of getting them. Oddly enough, I was fine with the first one.
That super creepy Alice in Wonderland version from around the same time that I always forget the name of.
Kids, the movie from the mid 90s where a New York teen is trying to bang virgins and spreading HIV. Freaked me out.
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
Saving private Ryan at ten years old.
I slept over at a friend's house, and we watched The Shining when I was 12. Still haunts me to this day, and I've never re-watched it since.
Jurassic Park 3 when I was 9 for a friend's birthday. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for weeks. I'm not really haunted by it any more but the scene where the skeleton in the parachute swings out of the tree is seared into my brain.
My Girl. I have a fear of bees because of that movie.
Moontrap
Sleepers. I was raised watching horror and other movies which I probably should not have (early favorites included A Nightmare on Elm Street and Robocop), but the only one which was too much was seeing Sleepers when I was ten or eleven. Too realistic, I guess.
2 Movies really.
- Bette Davis in the Nanny. I haven't liked the bath since.
- Death Wish. Wasn't suitable for an adolescent. I'm still traumatized by the home invasion / rape scene. Hey, that was Hope Lange from the Ghost & Mrs Muir!
Creep Show, the segment with the Antarctic wolf creature scared the shit outta me. It still creeps me out to this day for some reason.
For me it was The Amytiville Horror (1979). I still can't look out of a window at night and not think of seeing eyes. I didn't see the film until I was about 11, so mid 80s.
Terminator 2. I saw it when I was 6 or 7 when it came out on vhs. I didn’t want to watch kids movies ever again after that. It was fucking awesome. As far as scarring me, none, people in my elementary school were watching Faces of Death.
Bad taste. My brother got a copy but didn't let me watch, so I waited until he was out before I put it on.
I can still remember the guy putting his brains back in his head and carrying on.
Then I heard the director was making some fantasy movies and lost respect for him.
Yeah those fantasy movies definitely tanked his career
Saturday Night Fever. At the theater. With both my parents. Not even in middle school, by a few years.
Gandahar
evil space penis
There's a shitty horror flick called The Hand from the early eighties. Michael Caine is in it, hamming it for the paycheck I suppose but still kinda cool even if the movie is pretty bad. Anyway, there's a terrible effects shot of the titular crawling hand pushing its way through the plumbing in a shower, and I still sometimes have nightmares of that scene decades later. 5 year old me was not ready.
Aliens 3
It
So...yeah, I was watching Tales from the Crypt when I was like 9.
it's 5 years to late for a sane person.
The Green Mile
I think I was like 10
Kingdom of the Spiders
The tanning booth scene from Final Destination really messed me up for a while.
Arachnophobia
Edward Scissorhands.
Don't know why. And I didn't even see it for that long, but something about the makeup, music, general ambiance, the scene when he's offered normal hands, it affected my child self profoundly. To this day, I can't watch the movie without feeling very anxious. My partner has tried to watch it with me a couple of times and I just can't.
Reptilicus
I don't know how old we all were, but I joined some kids older than me watch Resident Evil. It was okay until the laser corridor scene. Haunted me for years.
There are many other movie scenes of that nature that stuck with me. Guy getting eaten by shark. Guy losing a leg in rescue attempt. Guy getting violently whacked by piece of cable. Guy losing his hand by confronting his father. Except for the last one I do not recall any of these movies titles or overall story lol
I wasn't too young but I am Legend left me depressed for days. I even read the book because I needed to process it. I still have flashbacks to will Smith talking along with Shrek. I should probably go watch it again now that I'm older and see if it hits differently. It was not the zombies but the deep deep loneliness that got me.
Scary movie
Prophecy - that bear.
None, but I saw Child's Play as a kid and it scared me for years afterwards.
Salem's Lot. Watched it with a buddy on a late night sleepover when it was on TV in the late '70s, probably 8 or 9 years old. I'll never forget Barlow sitting up in his coffin. Or my buddy barfing when he did it.
I also won't soon forget seeing a late-night new years eve showing of Caligula a few years later. My tiny mind wasn't ready for either the onslaught of tits or beheadings.
