1983 was also the year my mum sent me over to the college kids next door to be babysat and they decided it would be funny to show me The Thing.

The Thing was awesome as a kid and really sparked my imagination. I always that McFarlane Thing figure but I never found it. My buddy found it a few years ago at a store and I bought from him. So that was cool. But I totally would've played with that spider head and had it eat all my toys.

When I was 4-5 I watched some movie about killer bees and it was terrifying although not so much anymore. I also ended up watching a Romeo zombie movie at a friends when we were like 6 and it scaring the hell out of me, I actually really can't stand zombie movies/shows and if I see one I end up getting bad nightmares. In glad the zombie genre has been oversaturated and died.

The movie that hosed me as a kid was Laserblast. It's probably a low budget piece of trash in hindsight (it got the MST3K treatment at some point) but something about the lead character slowly turning into a mindless ghoul really got into my head. TBH it's not really the kind of movie that should air on an early Saturday afternoon. I saw it on a TV channel that had launched about a month earlier and I guess they still had trouble filling the gaps in their schedule. They also aired The Guyver on Sunday afternoons. Seeing an animated series with that much gore and screaming definitely was something new at that point in my life. Edit: I meant to say "hosed me UP" but I'll just leave it like that because it's amusing. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Jan 8, 2017 |

Dicky mouse posted:since we going over the movies that scared us as children. Was about to post this. I think my parents rented Howard the Duck once when I was a toddler, before I really could follow movies or form coherent memories. All I could remember for years was that there was some big monster towards the end that gave me a couple of nightmares, but have never seen the movie since so was never really sure if I was actually remembering the movie. So I looked it up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXwxYIjqocA Yeah, that'd do it. The acting/dialogue is cheesy, and the green-screen compositing isn't the best, but that is admittedly some cool monster design and stop-motion work.

The Hanging Tree in Excalibur was equal parts  and  for child me. Also, the Mouse King from some The Nutcracker adaptation I somehow got to watch in a theater, gently caress that guy.

Two things hosed me up as a child....the first was the talking hands in Labyrinth and to this day I am apprehensive to watch that film. The other was the scene in Akira at the end where that dude mutates and some chick gets crushed in his body, the way she just disappears into a pool of blood freaked me out. Disclaimer: I have watched both films since but don't make a regular thing of it

Calaveron posted:Mars Attacks jesus gently caress, yes. I was watching it with my family at home, and the way the aliens moved was just utterly terrifying to me. I see now they were meant to be funny-creepy, but I had a meltdown and hid behind the couch for the rest of the movie. I also remember being freaked out by the Halloween Ernest movie, which was a terrible dumb comedy, but had nightmarish transformation sequences that haunted my dreams.

Pizza the Hut from Space Balls used to gross me out as a kid. Especially when his robot assistant rips off a chunk and eats it. Then PtH dies by eating himself.

Actually, Disney's domestic gross in 2016 is also pretty special. It's the first time at least since 1913 (the earliest year I could get hard data on), and possibly the first time in the history of film, that the highest-grossing three films within a year within the United States were all distributed by the same company.

That movie was pretty   for a kid. First was the scene with Kaori getting her top ripped off and punched. Wtf was that? Cartoon titties? Then Kaneda has his first big freakout and dreams he's dropping his viscera everywhere. I have no idea why, but the scene with the Bunyip from Dot and the Kangaroo was loving terrifying to me at 4.

When I was younger I watched all kinds of horror films without getting scared but for some reason I just couldn't even look at this part of the X-Files opening: Something about it freaked me the gently caress out.
