SilvergunSuperman posted:What's this from? that creepy motherfucker is from ghost writer which despite the name was a lighthearted children's educational show about the power of reading then this guy shows up and like encases people in loving bubblegum and moves on his own and is genuinely freaky as poo poo and I'm pretty sure it was a two part episode and I never saw the second half so it was like just a bunch of lovable literate rascals getting horribly mostly-murdered with no resolution ever

While Fire in the Sky was outright scarier, this haunted me more because they could be anywhere. It took a while before I could sleep well again. Still gives me a little shiver watching it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdWrvhF1HvA

I had quite a few fears as a kid, and all of them came back to revisit me when the movie "Poltergeist" was released. The tree outside the window was pretty freaky. When I was in 5th grade, we lived on the 3rd floor of the base apartment complex, and there was a massive oak tree outside in the courtyard. One branch managed to grow right out to the point where it would brush against my bedroom window whenever the wind blew. but the worst memory was my clown doll. It was large, and my mom put it in the chair right next to my door (This was when I was about 8 or 9). I was terrified of that drat thing. I imagined that it would come to life in the dead of night, scamper to my bed, and kill me in my sleep. I eventually managed to damage it enough that mom got decided it couldn't be repaired any longer and finally got rid of it. When I saw Poltergeist, all that came flooding back. Steven Spielberg can rot in hell.

I was about 10, and my mom was working the late shift so I was alone until about midnight. Watching SCTV, a comedy sketch show. Maybe it was because I was home alone, but this episode scared me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlOtXaG4uxE I turned the TV off right at the moment they show the kid in the fright wig, so I never saw how the episode ended. Haunted me for months.

Gatekeeper posted:those lil dolls bitin the crap out of Jane fonda in barbarella I saw a lot of inappropriate stuff as a child, Akira when I was six was fun but didn't really scare me since it was just cartoons. But the Hellraiser series at that same age got me pretty good: Especially since my brother was able to find one of those little cubes and liked to freak me out with it haha. When you're a little kid and the gap between fantasy and reality is sort of pushed in that way, it can be pretty traumatizing. Edit: Oh, I didn't like that one scene in Aeon Flux where the lady got her legs amputated, but less because of it being scary and more because it felt really unfair and just plain rude. Buckets posted:Quoting myself because I found a video of this goddamn show and it's still loving scary. Seriously who thought this poo poo was gonna work? Also Rosie O'Donnell is in it. Also this Scary Story to Tell in the Dark and image that went with it scared me: Not at first, but pretty soon after I read it my dad took me deep into the woods 'to show me something interesting.' That something interesting was a mangled, decomposed horse carcass with a nicely exposed skull. Oh man did that freak me out, I had actually blocked the memory until he brought it up again recently.

My parents were the kind-of dumb assholes who felt that limiting exposure to "mature" material was a healthy idea, then wondered why all their kids were total pussies well up until 12. So whenever we'd go to Palmer or West Coast Video I'd go off and sneak peeks into the horror aisle. All the gory, usually hand-drawn covers set my imagination on fire and because this was pre-internet I didn't find out until much later how terribly 95% of them were. As I got older I would literally practice walking down the aisle and reading one or two back covers to desensitize my candy-rear end. Even then touching the paper that had the images just felt.... wrong... like I was holding some grimoire that could summon the worst of whatever was on the cover. I'm going to split this up into general covers I remember freaking me out followed by an awards section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Spookiness -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AWARDS Hellraiser wins "movie I recall having a reputation as the goriest and scariest of them all, with Pinhead being the baddest of the bads" Pumpkinhead wins "most bizarre monster I remember on a cover" Clint Howard on this cover earns the "why the gently caress was I ever afraid of this?" award House II wins "most evocative of potential, especially when you consider how loving boring the actual movie is" award Nightmare on Elm Street 5 wins "first time I remember noticing horror and comedy blending well" Nightmare on Elm Street 3 wins "Thing my Power Rangers-loving rear end was most entranced by for the potential of superheroes fighting a nightmare demon" The Blob earns the "Cover that I could recognize as tubular and rad even thought it scared the poo poo out of me," with honorary mention to The Stuff for doing the same The Surgeon earns "Most arrogant tagline"-- you can't read it; it says 'First Jason... Then Freddy... Finally, A PROFESSIONAL' The Incredible Melting Man earns "Cover so gory that it was one of the last ones I could stand to look at" Slumber Party Massacre earns the "Cover that told me my sex drive had kicked in" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And top award goes to CRITTERS Look at that loving thing. It's like a Furby hosed a Komodo Dragon with a Dreamworks face. Even today I look at that and think "I would hate to run into that fucker" And Critters 2 gets an honorary award for being the perfect blend of goofy as all gently caress yet still scary to a small child. I think that contributed to my unease around Venus Flytraps until I was an adult and marginally less of a dandy. GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY

Nickelodeon had a show apparently called And Now This back in the late 90's that had a segment where a man in a suit had his head replaced with a horrifying rat puppet.

A Typical Goon posted:The Blair Witch Project. My 10 year old self was absolutely convinced it was real and it really freaked me out for quite a while after watching it I was a similar age when it came out, initially they really played up the "found footage, this really happened" thing. I remember the sci-fi channel I think even showed some fake documentary on the Blair witch a few weeks before the movie came out just to hype up the whole "seriously guys its real" thing. My dad scored a really good copy of it about a week before the theatrical release and one night while I was home alone by myself I watched it and it totally scared the poo poo out of me. Then it apparently scared the poo poo out of everyone. It took a while before everyone realized it was just a movie, too. Didn't it have a tiny release at first, then it got picked up for a wide release afterwards because it was so popular? I remember tons of "holy poo poo can you believe this really happened??" hype before the truth came out mind the walrus posted:
Aww thx you for postin this. I remember seeing Critters as a tiny lil guy. I also remember seeing Rocky Horror off-Broadway a number of years later and being very impressed by the guy who played Frank N Furter but not yet having the internet savvy to check imdb to see why he seemed so familiar (was imdb around yet in like '00/'01?) But there he is, bottom left picture on the Critters cover. Terrence Mann. Talked with him after the show, he was super nice. Apparently 9/11 killed this play which was sad because he was awesome and Sebastian fuckin Bach from skid row played riff raff which was extra dope and he too was very nice and friendly and when I explained that the girl I liked at school thought he was really hot and it would prob help me out a bit if I could get something signed for her he went like totally overboard givibg me signed poo poo for her and that's how I got to touch her boobs and pussy so thanks Sebastian Bach and thank you mind the walrus for finally making my Terrance mann mental connection after all these long years
