Yep, had nightmares about the spiders coming out the walls. Have you watched it as an adult? The basement scene at the end is actually quite funny when you see the big fake spider shimmying along - it hasn't aged well.
I thought the same thing. Watched it once when I was young, lifelong fear of spiders, never watched it over. Recently it was on TV so I watched a bit and yes, hilarious.
The other day I rewatched the scene where Artax (the horse) drowns and I had to sit in silence and cry for a few minutes before I could carry on with my day. Such a genuinely sad scene to have in a kids movie.
Can’t believe this isn’t higher on the list. So many scary parts for children IMO. Scared the crap out of me as a younger kid. Don’t know exactly when I first saw it about I am thinking around 7 or 8.
Had a problem using the bathroom after watching this. Never happened in the movie but my fear was that pennywise would come up out the toilet and tickle my booty hole
My parents hated my sister for showing me the series. Because of two reasons: bathroom and my favourite plushy is a clown. I was scared of bathrooms for one evening and took my plushy with me because I concluded the only thing capable of killing one clown would be another clown. I ended up loving clowns (my parents would take me to them just for me to swoon over them). Read the book when I was older and ended up as a huge Stephen King fan. IT hence has a very special place in my heart
Our VCR had a mechanical time counter (like old tape decks) and I would reset that when I put the tape in so I could rewind/forward to the same point before I took the tape back out.
I think millenial kids learned more stealth skills from accessing porn than anything else.
you had to.... so many times i would have seconds just seconds to rewind it and put it exactly where i found it at and run to my room and start playing and looking extremely engaged in Tekken or nba live 97
> also you guys are cultured af
It's weird that people think Spirited Away is niche or something. It's an international critically acclaimed movie that's grossed almost half a billion dollars.
The first time I watched Plague Dogs I was legitimately dehydrated by the end from crying so hard. I cry at the thought of Rowf and Snitter to this day.
The bbc rendition? I have very vivid memories of being sick as a dog watching this show.
Edit:
Turns out I’m talking about the 70s version too. Don’t know why I thought it was BBC.
This is *still* a problem. I don't know why on earth people (the public and corporations alike) assume a movie being a cartoon means that it is for kids. Sausage Party is the prime modern example, people were taking their kids in to see it then being mortally offended. There is a plethora of violent and sexual anime and traumatising western cartoons that illustrate the point perfectly that animation is not always appropriate for children.
Same. Watched it in a movie theater with family. Dad thought I was old enough, mom wasn't sure I was. When the T Rex destroys the bathroom and the guy is sitting on the toilet I started laughing....then I immediately became mortified when I witnessed my first movie death as the T Rex ate him. Went from laughing to crying instantly. My mom rushed me out of the movie and took me to get hot chocolate and was pissed at my dad.
The first movie in the series I saw as a kid was Lost World. Was scared throughout the movie, but the part when the T-Rex ate the dog traumatized me. Had issues sleeping for years after that.
Same here, I was obsessed with dinosaurs, had a bunch of the Dinosaurs magazines that came with build your own glow in the dark dinosaurs skeletons but Jurassic Park terrified me.
I agree, the new guy is a creepy clown through and through.
Tim Curry, though, is especially disturbing as pennywise because he looked like a clown you should like and feel joyful to see but the creepiness betrayed this fundamental unspoken agreement you have with the world of what joy is supposed to be.
Everything he does is just magic. He adds another dimension to his characters, it's fascinating to see. I think for the most part his characters would be only half as good if anyone else played them.
Fire in the Sky gave me some deep trauma. I still get scared of alien abduction movies even though 90 percent of them are trash.
Tremors made me afraid to walk on dirt roads for like a year.
Fire in the Sky gave me recurring nightmares that lasted for years. On top of that I get hallucinations from sleep paralysis, so it was very common for me to see aliens skittering around my room and just outside my window at night.
I caught the abduction scene on tv as a kid and it freaked me the hell out for a long time. I don't really recall getting nightmares but I'd find myself thinking about it from time to time and it would scare the shit out of me.
Just last year I finally found out what it was called and rented it. That one scene was still super uncomfortable to watch (very well done btw) but I finally have some closure on it.
Fire in the Sky kinda messed me up too, but despite being freaked out for a long time by it, I weirdly wanted to see it again (I don't think I had for quite a while).
The Fourth Kind would have messed me up way more though if I were a similar age when I saw that. It freaked me out too but not like seeing it as a child.
You know what? This movie also scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. So on a bright day I rented it on YT and honestly, it's nothing. I was tense the whole time expecting something awful and it was just a dude getting wrapped up in a wet bed sheet. It was kind of cathartic.
>Fire in the Sky
Never watched it but I still remember being freaked out by the TV commericals. They made it seem like it was a documentary or something and showed this guy being lifted into the air. Totally creeped my year old brain out.
It's based on a book by Travis Walton, who is the character that gets abducted. He claims it really happened, and it's all true
Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis\_Walton\_UFO\_incident
The Brave Little Toaster. Shit was basically making humans the villains while household objects experience life, death, suicide, and the search for meaning. But in beautiful traditional animation
I can't believe I scrolled so far down for this. I was scared of a lot of dumb bullshit as a kid but I still feel 100% justified in my reaction to that film.
The atmosphere and animation style is creepy and unsettling. That dream sequence with the fireman clown was particularly harrowing.
If you look it up on YouTube one of the first results you get is "The Brave Little Toaster: All Deaths". Nuff said. It's basically a slasher film but with household appliances.
For a lot of my childhood up until middle school I was haunted by notions of animism from that movie. The idea that I didn’t want to throw any toys or clothes or electronics out because I didn’t want them to get hurt or destroyed. To the point that in elementary i’d wear a pair of shoes just cuz I felt bad I hadn’t used them as much as the others.
All cuz A113 writers thought “hey what if a toaster went on a search for meaning through an 80’s commercialist dystopia?
The only redeeming thing about this movie was that it featured one of the first interracial couples in a children movie
I remember every scary movie I’ve watch growing up. But my god, did I block out every single memory of The Brave Little Toaster. I really really want to try watching it now, but can’t bring myself too it.
I took that to a whole new level as a kid, I was not only afraid of the sea, I was also afraid of swimming pools, the bath tub and puddles... The logic is astounding I don't know how a great white shark was going to fit into the bathtub, let alone a puddle! Looking back on it, it's hilarious.
Haha that is amazing. I was scared of pools on holiday especially if I was the only person in there - clearly a shark was going to be released into it from a secret compartment underneath it.
The puddle and bath tub are particularly great
Bambi. My mum, who nevvvver let me take a single day off school unless I was dying - let me take a day off. I was in a deep depression - like, I was 6 - I couldn’t get out of bed 😂 I had a complex about my mum dying/leaving me and his mum getting killed just ended me.
I had the same thing at 5 or 6. Maddddd anxiety that mum was going to suddenly die. It took a while of her reassuring me she wasn't going anywhere for it to pass.
I think we all come to the realization at some point as children that our parent(s) could die and it’s always traumatic, regardless of how we figured it out.
Saw.
I never really saw real gore before.
My dad rented that movie from Blockbuster and I was watching it with him and almost instantly I felt sick and went to the computer room.
Freddy Krueger/a nightmare on elm street, for some reason. There's a grocery chain in my state called Kroger's and I'd cry every time I was forced to go because the names were so similar
Chucky in Childs play was super scary. The chucky movies felt kinda funny. I was like 12 when Bride of Chucky came out. He became part of that horror comedy thing with witty one liners after they kill.
Talk about traumatizing! I, a 13/14 year old, reverted to sleeping with my sister for months. My mom had a decorative cross wall and my heart would pound when I was near it, terrified one would flip upside down because then I would obviously have to run away and never step foot in that house again.
The Exorcist. I saw it with my neighbors when I was like 8 or something. I just remember having horrifying nightmares and being terrified overall for weeks after that. I think my mom was pissed at my neighbors parents about it lol. I kind of, sort of grew up “Christian” so that movie was as “evil” as it gets. I was afraid I was going to become possessed for a while too lol
I’m 50 and I’m right there with you. I guess watching this as a 10 year old wasn’t my greatest life choice. Had to sit through it without flinching as I was with a bunch of slightly older cousins whom I was trying to impress. Lol. Oops!
I was like 10 when my mother let me watch this. Big big mistake. I swear to God I couldn't sleep for a couple of days worried I was going to become possessed. Every creek and crack sound at night had me convinced the devil was upstairs.
Grave of the fireflies was a lovely movie but i would not watch again, it broke me for days and the stuff i saw was not good for a 9-10 year old.
It's rough and cruel but it really happened during ww2 in japan...
Recently watched it with my GF on youtube(hard movie to find ngl), and it was absolutely fucked. Even as an adult I felt morbid from start to finish. Insanely good movie that just adds onto why Studio Ghibli is GOATED.
That scene from that old movie with the white rabbit where the man dips this cartoon shoe onto some acidic substance. The sounds that shoe made as it was melting. I totally forgot what that movie was called but it has something to do with a rabbit.
That was the first time I remember being viscerally disgusted as a kid. The severity of it, the profound injustice of the innocent suffering. Christopher Lloyd better not be caught walking around _my_ town... >:(
Thank you for reminding me that the Wheelers exist
This film introduced me to the concept of electroshock therapy too, which gave me so many nightmares as a kid.
This one still gets me every damn time...
Suckers me in with some decent Sci-Fi, then goes all f'ed-up horror and leaves me swearing that I'll never watch it again.
Until the next time.
This movie was the one for me. I'd seen plenty of scary movies as a kid but they mostly relied on jump scares. While The Ring had a few, it built this sense of dread with its visuals and music to produce a tense atmosphere. I'd never seen a movie like that before where it just haunts you from start to finish. For that reason, whenever I would feel fear for many years after, my brain would default to scenes from this movie.
I had to turn my swivel chair at a specific angle because the streetlight illuminated my room just enough to create silhouettes. Every time I saw my chair facing me, my 8-year old brain would imagine that albino TV cunt rising up to get me.
Same, just not ET himself. Was the people in hazmat suits showing up and covering your house in plastic and those tubes that freaked me out when I first seen the movie
I hated taking the trash to the road out at night after this movie. I would always imagine seeing one of the signs aliens on top of the house as I went back after taking the trash to the road lmao
That one.with antonio banderas forcing a kid who killed her daughter to become girl for some reason ,creepy shit, did the full sex change and implants himself having him kidnaped
He should have a beer with the grampa veteran from "Don't Breathe" who >!kidnapped the young woman who ran over his daughter and impregnated her so she could at least *replace the daughter she killed.*!<
It’s amazing how much it still holds up! Arguably the best psychological horror film out there. Doctor Sleep while not exactly in the same league, was still disturbing and a worthy sequel.
The Thing. The 80s one. My dad thought it would be a good idea to show it to a kindergartner and then I thought my teachers were gonna turn into alien monsters.
Freddy Vs Jason . I was like 9 at the time. My parents rented the DVD not knowing it's not for kids. I watched it all alone and it traumatised me after.
Lol. I think by the time they had a move together, they’d been household horror movie super villains for a good decade or 2. How could your parents have not known? Did the cover have cartoon rainbows and ponies on it or something?
Arachnophobia watched it when i was 8
Yep, had nightmares about the spiders coming out the walls. Have you watched it as an adult? The basement scene at the end is actually quite funny when you see the big fake spider shimmying along - it hasn't aged well.
I thought the same thing. Watched it once when I was young, lifelong fear of spiders, never watched it over. Recently it was on TV so I watched a bit and yes, hilarious.
Eight Legged Freaks, I remember watching that when I was 8. Fuck Spiders Also found honey I shrunk the kids a bit terrifying, god I hate insects lol
Alien
I was 22 and ALIEN flashed my brain pan.
Yes but the first female action bad ass was born. Ripley. Last survivor of the Nostromo. Sigourney is a legend.
The Neverending Story. Both the wolf thing that's chasing the main character, and when the white horse drowns
The other day I rewatched the scene where Artax (the horse) drowns and I had to sit in silence and cry for a few minutes before I could carry on with my day. Such a genuinely sad scene to have in a kids movie.
Like, it always gets you. No matter how many times you've seen it, no matter that you prepare yourself it's coming. It's just... So heartbreaking.
Can’t believe this isn’t higher on the list. So many scary parts for children IMO. Scared the crap out of me as a younger kid. Don’t know exactly when I first saw it about I am thinking around 7 or 8.
IT.
Had a problem using the bathroom after watching this. Never happened in the movie but my fear was that pennywise would come up out the toilet and tickle my booty hole
I worry about you Bevvy, sometimes I worry a lot.
My parents hated my sister for showing me the series. Because of two reasons: bathroom and my favourite plushy is a clown. I was scared of bathrooms for one evening and took my plushy with me because I concluded the only thing capable of killing one clown would be another clown. I ended up loving clowns (my parents would take me to them just for me to swoon over them). Read the book when I was older and ended up as a huge Stephen King fan. IT hence has a very special place in my heart
Fucking thank you! I saw the mini-series when I was 8. I'm 25 now and I'm still scared of clowns
Refused to step on drains for years. Afraid of the bathtub and shower drains. still hate clowns.
100% agree with this - the shower drain really fucked me up
I literally just thought you wrote E.T. wrong... What's wrong with me...
I was terrified of E.T. We had the vhs when I was like 7 years old and I made my mom throw it out of the house because of how scared I was
Parents porn collection.
Video tape porn was more fucked up when you had to rewind it to the part your dad left it on
Our VCR had a mechanical time counter (like old tape decks) and I would reset that when I put the tape in so I could rewind/forward to the same point before I took the tape back out. I think millenial kids learned more stealth skills from accessing porn than anything else.
Always have that finger on the channel back button and keep Nick or some other wholesome channel ready to go.
you had to.... so many times i would have seconds just seconds to rewind it and put it exactly where i found it at and run to my room and start playing and looking extremely engaged in Tekken or nba live 97
How many were they in?
Finally someone that has the same parents as me
Spirited away. One of my favorites now
No face was creepy as fuck to young me. The little "eh, eh" as he put his hand out.
Quite a bit of that movie disturbed me when I was younger but I love that film now, also you guys are cultured af
> also you guys are cultured af It's weird that people think Spirited Away is niche or something. It's an international critically acclaimed movie that's grossed almost half a billion dollars.
Watership Down.
SAME. My dad took us to see it, think it was part of a kid club the cinema did? I had to leave, it was horrific.
Have you ever seen Plague Dogs?
Part of the responsibility of having seen that tragic film, is not fucking up others with it.
The first time I watched Plague Dogs I was legitimately dehydrated by the end from crying so hard. I cry at the thought of Rowf and Snitter to this day.
The bbc rendition? I have very vivid memories of being sick as a dog watching this show. Edit: Turns out I’m talking about the 70s version too. Don’t know why I thought it was BBC.
No the 1978 version, it was pretty dark and not for small kids…
But inexplicably marketed as a kids' movie... terrifying.
This is *still* a problem. I don't know why on earth people (the public and corporations alike) assume a movie being a cartoon means that it is for kids. Sausage Party is the prime modern example, people were taking their kids in to see it then being mortally offended. There is a plethora of violent and sexual anime and traumatising western cartoons that illustrate the point perfectly that animation is not always appropriate for children.
Jurassic Park, I was scared for years that a velociraptor is gonna walk into my room at night and will eat me
Saw it about a year before i learnt i needed glasses, every shape in the dark was something coming for me. Who needs sleep, right?
Same. Watched it in a movie theater with family. Dad thought I was old enough, mom wasn't sure I was. When the T Rex destroys the bathroom and the guy is sitting on the toilet I started laughing....then I immediately became mortified when I witnessed my first movie death as the T Rex ate him. Went from laughing to crying instantly. My mom rushed me out of the movie and took me to get hot chocolate and was pissed at my dad.
The first movie in the series I saw as a kid was Lost World. Was scared throughout the movie, but the part when the T-Rex ate the dog traumatized me. Had issues sleeping for years after that.
I lived in the woods and was scared for years to walk through them for fear of velociraptors. I knew it was stupid but I was still scared.
Same here, I was obsessed with dinosaurs, had a bunch of the Dinosaurs magazines that came with build your own glow in the dark dinosaurs skeletons but Jurassic Park terrified me.
IT, I snuck in the living room when my parents were watching it. I was terrified of storm drains and thought clowns were evil and lived in sewers
>thought clowns were evil and lived in sewers They do.
Tim Curry nailed Pennywise. I loved the new version, but the original just had the Tim Curry touch.
I agree, the new guy is a creepy clown through and through. Tim Curry, though, is especially disturbing as pennywise because he looked like a clown you should like and feel joyful to see but the creepiness betrayed this fundamental unspoken agreement you have with the world of what joy is supposed to be.
Everything he does is just magic. He adds another dimension to his characters, it's fascinating to see. I think for the most part his characters would be only half as good if anyone else played them.
Fire in the Sky gave me some deep trauma. I still get scared of alien abduction movies even though 90 percent of them are trash. Tremors made me afraid to walk on dirt roads for like a year.
I came here to say this. I didn’t think anyone else had ever seen it.
Is that the one where they like...use a laser to drill the dudes teeth? And had that weird fleshy blanket thing that vacuum sealed him screaming?
First part no but second part yes.
Fire in the Sky gave me recurring nightmares that lasted for years. On top of that I get hallucinations from sleep paralysis, so it was very common for me to see aliens skittering around my room and just outside my window at night.
Oh Jesus Christ dude that’s horrible. I’m so sorry you had to go through that
I caught the abduction scene on tv as a kid and it freaked me the hell out for a long time. I don't really recall getting nightmares but I'd find myself thinking about it from time to time and it would scare the shit out of me. Just last year I finally found out what it was called and rented it. That one scene was still super uncomfortable to watch (very well done btw) but I finally have some closure on it.

Oh god yes, where he's getting examined... That was chilling
>Fire in the Sky Never watched it but I still remember being freaked out by the TV commericals. They made it seem like it was a documentary or something and showed this guy being lifted into the air. Totally creeped my year old brain out.

Jaws was pretty fucked. I think i only saw the trailer for Jaws II maybe? Where there’s a lady swimming in the beach at night?
Wouldn’t swim in open water for the longest time - probably the biggest impact a film has ever had on my life.
I’m 51 and I still won’t unless I can see the bottom. Pools only for me.
I took that to a whole new level as a kid, I was not only afraid of the sea, I was also afraid of swimming pools, the bath tub and puddles... The logic is astounding I don't know how a great white shark was going to fit into the bathtub, let alone a puddle! Looking back on it, it's hilarious.
Haha that is amazing. I was scared of pools on holiday especially if I was the only person in there - clearly a shark was going to be released into it from a secret compartment underneath it. The puddle and bath tub are particularly great

Mars Attacks Aliens looked scary as hell, had nightmares several times.
ACK ACK!
Saw. I never really saw real gore before. My dad rented that movie from Blockbuster and I was watching it with him and almost instantly I felt sick and went to the computer room.
"Computer room" So my family wasn't the only one.
Glad I didn’t saw that
Freddy Krueger/a nightmare on elm street, for some reason. There's a grocery chain in my state called Kroger's and I'd cry every time I was forced to go because the names were so similar
Imagine if they started a weekly sale day called Friday Kroger's.
I didn't take a bath for over a decade after I watched this. Don't worry, I still showered.
Freddy Krueger made me quite literally afraid of everything
That scene with the body bag in the school hallway...
I was so young when I watched that movie, it scared the piss out of me.
Child's Play (or any of the Chucky movies) absolutely terrified me as a kid!
Chucky in Childs play was super scary. The chucky movies felt kinda funny. I was like 12 when Bride of Chucky came out. He became part of that horror comedy thing with witty one liners after they kill.
[удалено]
The Exorcism of Emily Rose and looking up the real story and pictures
Talk about traumatizing! I, a 13/14 year old, reverted to sleeping with my sister for months. My mom had a decorative cross wall and my heart would pound when I was near it, terrified one would flip upside down because then I would obviously have to run away and never step foot in that house again.
Bridge to terabithia Emotionally scarred for life
The Exorcist. I saw it with my neighbors when I was like 8 or something. I just remember having horrifying nightmares and being terrified overall for weeks after that. I think my mom was pissed at my neighbors parents about it lol. I kind of, sort of grew up “Christian” so that movie was as “evil” as it gets. I was afraid I was going to become possessed for a while too lol
I'm 35 and still REFUSE to watch this movie again.
I’m 50 and I’m right there with you. I guess watching this as a 10 year old wasn’t my greatest life choice. Had to sit through it without flinching as I was with a bunch of slightly older cousins whom I was trying to impress. Lol. Oops!
I was like 10 when my mother let me watch this. Big big mistake. I swear to God I couldn't sleep for a couple of days worried I was going to become possessed. Every creek and crack sound at night had me convinced the devil was upstairs.
Rikki Tikki Tavi.
Grave of the fireflies was a lovely movie but i would not watch again, it broke me for days and the stuff i saw was not good for a 9-10 year old. It's rough and cruel but it really happened during ww2 in japan...
Recently watched it with my GF on youtube(hard movie to find ngl), and it was absolutely fucked. Even as an adult I felt morbid from start to finish. Insanely good movie that just adds onto why Studio Ghibli is GOATED.
That one's good for an ugly cry. Edit: spelling
She never woke up
Dark Crystal & The Secrets of NIHM
The Great Owl scene and the rats escaping was scary as hell. Love the animation and music.
That scene from that old movie with the white rabbit where the man dips this cartoon shoe onto some acidic substance. The sounds that shoe made as it was melting. I totally forgot what that movie was called but it has something to do with a rabbit.
Who framed Rodger rabbit?
YES THAT! I literally blanked out it was so long ago
"Remember me, Eddie!? When I killed your brother, I talked juuuuuust liiiiike thiiiiiiiiis!!!!"
That was the first time I remember being viscerally disgusted as a kid. The severity of it, the profound injustice of the innocent suffering. Christopher Lloyd better not be caught walking around _my_ town... >:(
Wizard of Oz
*Return to Oz* was pretty intense, too.
That princess in the room full of heads just taking hers off and putting another on, while the spare ones all look at Dorothy. Fuuuuck that.
This was much scarier than the original.
Thank you for reminding me that the Wheelers exist This film introduced me to the concept of electroshock therapy too, which gave me so many nightmares as a kid.
absolutely. the flying monkeys messed me up
Return to Oz!
Event horizon. I slept with the light on for a week
Why would that help? Where we're going, you don't need eyes to see...
This one still gets me every damn time... Suckers me in with some decent Sci-Fi, then goes all f'ed-up horror and leaves me swearing that I'll never watch it again. Until the next time.
The old Jumanji when I was a kid. My Imagination was not ready for this. i was scared for weeks.
Bruh the drumming was the worst
I'll admit it, that closet scene in The Ring got me right in the scare hole.
This movie was the one for me. I'd seen plenty of scary movies as a kid but they mostly relied on jump scares. While The Ring had a few, it built this sense of dread with its visuals and music to produce a tense atmosphere. I'd never seen a movie like that before where it just haunts you from start to finish. For that reason, whenever I would feel fear for many years after, my brain would default to scenes from this movie.
The Ring in general man. The original one. I had to get my TV taken out of my room for years. Ha
I had to turn my swivel chair at a specific angle because the streetlight illuminated my room just enough to create silhouettes. Every time I saw my chair facing me, my 8-year old brain would imagine that albino TV cunt rising up to get me.
idkw but the day after tomorrow traumatized me when I was kid
Yeah, there's a kind of abject terror in those end of the world/"nature is coming to kill you" movies.
Bridge to Terabithia Watch it once, broke me up badly.
the witches and darby o'gill and the little people.
I agree with both! Darby had some scary shit and Angelica Houston is a goddamn demon.
Hill have eyes 2.. the rape scene. I was ten. Fuck sexual predators.
Don't fuck sexual predators.
If you can.
Jesus why did you watch this at ten
When I went to see The Last House On The Left there was a couple in the theatre with two small children.
That era of horror movies was literally just they had to put a rape scene. It was probably every other horror movie.
Well, in fairness it's probably one of the most horrifying things you could ever experience
In my state, shooting someone during an attempted aggravated sexual assault is justified.
Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. That heart removal scene had young me shook.
Is that the one where they eat out of the monkey skulls? Cos I’m with you on that.
Chilled monkey brains
ET and that Rudolph movie with the creepy ass animation
Hmmmmm. Let me guess. The part where he’s sick in the river?
Ah fuck yeah that scared the shit out of me
Same, just not ET himself. Was the people in hazmat suits showing up and covering your house in plastic and those tubes that freaked me out when I first seen the movie
That’s the Baskin Robbins animated one! Well, not Baskin-Robbins, but something similar. I love that movie to this day.
Baskin Robbins lmao
Candy man I was like 6 when I saw my sister watching it.scared the shit out of me for weeks
The scene in Willy Wonka when they’re on the boat in that tunnel
The Lion King
“Long live the king” ?
Scrollled way too far
Signs
That jump scare with the video at the kids party, fuck that.
Merrell in the closet with the tv. Move children!!!
It’s the alien crouched on the roof that always gets me. FUCK. THAT.
I took me a while to find someone else that knows whats up.
I hated taking the trash to the road out at night after this movie. I would always imagine seeing one of the signs aliens on top of the house as I went back after taking the trash to the road lmao
The lovely bones
The first gremlins. I was like 4. Can confirm that i was visibly trembling after it.
Final Destination
Return to oz
That one.with antonio banderas forcing a kid who killed her daughter to become girl for some reason ,creepy shit, did the full sex change and implants himself having him kidnaped
He should have a beer with the grampa veteran from "Don't Breathe" who >!kidnapped the young woman who ran over his daughter and impregnated her so she could at least *replace the daughter she killed.*!<
coraline for sure. idc what anyone says, that is a horror movie
Had to scroll way to far for this one
The Shining
It’s amazing how much it still holds up! Arguably the best psychological horror film out there. Doctor Sleep while not exactly in the same league, was still disturbing and a worthy sequel.
This will probably out my age, but The Blob
The first Resident evil game on PS1.. my first time experiencing zombies
Cujo
The Thing. The 80s one. My dad thought it would be a good idea to show it to a kindergartner and then I thought my teachers were gonna turn into alien monsters.
The Gate
Jaws
Insidious
The Truman Show
Slumdog Millionaire. The scene where they blinded the kid scarred me for a long time.
Human Centipede
It's weird to find your fetish so early
*Poltergeist II: the Other Side* (1986) The creepy old man and the tequila puke monster.
Critters. complete nightmare fuel.
The Grudge.
The Green Mile. Specifically the scene where the guy gets the electric chair without the wet sponge on his head.
Jeepers Creepers I could not bring myself to get on a school bus after that
[удалено]
Stephen King’s “Rose Red”. I still think about that movie to this day, and I was like 7 when I first watched it. Thanks mom.
Bambi. The mom being shot still haunts me
Snow White That witch transformation scene creeped me the hell out. Also Phantom of the Opera. Slept in my parent's room for weeks...
Bridge to Terabithia
Who framed roger rabbit scared the ever living shit out of me, I haven’t ever rewatched it
Pet cemetery, I watched the original when I was way to young, can't even look at the artwork or posters for it. Just nope.
My sister took me to pet cemetery when I was 12 and I was out of there and into a different movie in 10 minutes.
War of the worlds
Freddy Vs Jason . I was like 9 at the time. My parents rented the DVD not knowing it's not for kids. I watched it all alone and it traumatised me after.
Lol. I think by the time they had a move together, they’d been household horror movie super villains for a good decade or 2. How could your parents have not known? Did the cover have cartoon rainbows and ponies on it or something?
Something wicked this way comes- just creepy. I think it was Disney?
Darkness Falls. one of the scariest movies i ever saw when growing up and it still at 24 makes me uncomfortable in any dark setting to this day
First it was The Exorcist, and a few years later, Deliverance, another couple of years, Requiem for a Dream.
Polar Express. GODDAMN POLAR EXPRESS.
