Young Freud posted:It took me until my twenties before I could handle the Nazi face-melting scene in Raiders. And they show that scene unedited on broadcast TV. When I was a kid, my parents always made me close my eyes during the heart-ripping scene in Temple of Doom when we watched it, but had no problems with the face-melting in Raiders and the ultra-aging in Crusade. When I got a little older and watched the Indy movies again, I found Temple of Doom to be by far the tamest of the three, so I don't really know what my parents were thinking.

The Trailer for Communion hosed me hardcore for the part where the alien peeks around from behind the corner. The movie itself is loving hilarious.

Some of my earliest memories are of my parents taking me to see loving Poltergeist at a drive-in theatre*. The tree trying to eat the son seriously hosed me up. I remember dubbing it the Daddy Eating Tree, but I don't remember why, since it obviously tries to eat Robbie, not Steven. Maybe I thought the tree was someone's father? Oh, and the scene where the guy claws his own face off just loving ruined me for years. * 1983 was a goddamned terrifying year for me, I guess.

My mom made me look away during Raiders' face melting scene when I'd watch it, taped off HBO. I eventually decided to keep them open and it didn't bother me that much. VHS really lent itself to repeated watchings due to lack of other options, ironic in that it's the home format that holds up the worst to that. I guy I work with was babysitting his niece one day and the only thing she wanted to so was watch Howard the Duck on repeat.

Poltergeist 2 is even worse, but it's a toss-up between the scene where Robbie's braces attack him (which is a helluva thing to see when you're getting braces yourself) or Craig T. Nelson vomiting up a giant mezcal worm with Reverand Kane's face on it.

I finally got around to watching The Rundown and there's a scene where The Rock has a kickass fight with Ernie Reyes Jr in the jungle so after the film I googled Reyes to see what else he'd been in recently. Turns out he's been pretty fuckin' sick with liver failure and his family is running a GoFundMe to pay his medical bills.  But he's had a bunch of roles recently including a martial arts comedy film called Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleece which has an insane cast including martial arts movie greats Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja), Taimak (The Last Dragon) and Don 'The Dragon' Wilson plus a bizarre mix of other actors including Bill Goldberg, Danny Trejo, Richard Grieco, Sam Jones (Flash Gordon), RVD's daughter Bianca VanDamme and Michael Winslow. It was supposed to be released in 2016 but there isn't even a trailer for it anywhere, it just disappeared. I'm not expecting this to be a great movie but it should at least be an interesting movie so I'm disappointed it never came out.

jisforjosh posted:The only horror movie that messed me up as a kid around 9, and I don't know how I came across seeing it, is Event Horizon. It wasn't even the core, it was the overwhelming sense of despair and hopelessness that they're all hosed. Bringing Out the Dead had some of the same sense but in an alternate reality (from EH) where it's just another day in NYC for a pair of medics. EH had distance and space and possibly a hell dimension to make their jobs seem so futile.

The scariest non-horror thing I saw as a kid was the funeral scene from Amadeus, it's so goddamn bleak for a kid to imagine being buried in a mass grave.

Eh! Frank posted:A few years ago, I was wondering if I was just being overly sensitive as a kid, and watched the ending on YouTube. Nope, the transformation + the acid vomit still makes me queasy. The Fly is an interesting case for me because the depicted events are technically horrifying, but there's so much humour in the film that I never really get the uncomfortable feeling that some other horror films induce. Watching Jeff Goldblum being excited about turning into a fly is just too much fun. Well Manicured Man posted:When I got a little older and watched the Indy movies again, I found Temple of Doom to be by far the tamest of the three, so I don't really know what my parents were thinking. Yeah, in retrospect, it's kind of strange that Temple of Doom was the film which got us the PG-13 rating, when everything in it pales in comparison to the finale of Raiders.

The Aliens toy line from the early 90's got me into the movies. Convinced my parents to rent Alien when I was 6, and spent the whole thing going "Where's Corp Hicks and Lt Ripley??". Also rented Heavy Metal at that age because I liked the bird thing on the front. Needless to say many friends were invited over for a screening that week.

Doom gave us a drugged up cult member getting his heart pulled out and then incinerated as he chanted the cult motto. All the scenes of Indy being forced to drink the blood and lying there until it seemed like his mind had been destroyed and was going to go into the enslavement of children business *shudders*

Temple of Doom was psychologically terrifying based on the dinner scene alone. Monkey brains and pregnant snake still haunt my dreams to this day.

Nobody has mentioned Return to Oz yet so I will. Good lord is that movie just designed to be psychologically scarring to children from beginning to end. For some reason, the rhino from James and the Giant Peach got me as well. Also, embarrassingly enough, Oompa Luumpa's......

Groovelord Neato posted:girl: i'm too young to die! i never got to finish war and peace! Legit great dialogue. The live action Robocop show was nuts. I would love a current show that embraced dark, quasi-surrealist camp that well. Hell, let's just have another Robocop show that's less Humans and more Black Mirror-meets-Tim & Eric, that'd be the modern equivalent.

It also had a particularly brutal opening gunfight in the nightclub and an ending where the bad guys got ate by alligators. But all the stuff that kiimo brought up probably pushed it over the edge. syscall girl posted:All the scenes of Indy being forced to drink the blood and lying there until it seemed like his mind had been destroyed and was going to go into the enslavement of children business *shudders* It's seeing your childhood hero turning on you, especially when you're a kid.

Two scenes that stood out was him killing some gangsters by having rats eat them to death, and another scene that stood out more of him feeding a mobster to a giant meat grinder.

Which Chucky movie had a scene of Chucky as tall as a skyscraper? I remember seeing that on TV as a toddler and have at least a couple seconds of that burned into my mind. I was surprised to discover that the series is about a talking doll, and not a skyscraper sized freaky looking kid. Was that even a Chucky movie?

I've seen the first three, and I definitely don't remember anything like that from any of them barring a dream sequence or your young mind recontextualizing a particular shot somehow. 1983 was like one long nightmare. I'm beginning to think a lot of trust issues must have sprung from there.
