Lol I’m reminded of how they tried to run Grave of the Fireflies as a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro and how audiences in the theaters that led with Totoro were having none of that when Fireflies started

Honestly I could kind of imagine pairing it the other way. Totoro could be an amazing chaser to any sad experience. But Totoro into GotF is just... psychotic.

Technocrat posted:Grave of the Fireflies. That's a cartoon starting kids, so that's got to be appropriate, right? (said my aunt) A scorching hot take I once heard about Grave of the Fireflies is that it is a fascist Nazi sympathizing right wing propaganda film. Because, it portrays the bombing of Hiroshima as a destructive thing causing death and pain and horror, as opposed to portraying the noble Americans as heros raining down freedom and apple pie on the grateful populace of Japan. Therefore it must, logically, be sympathetic to the Nazis This is not a take I personally believe by the way.

The one thing that gave me nightmares as a kid was the vampire from Spiderman: the Animated Series who had lamprey mouths on his hands that he’d use to suck “plasma” from his victims. I later looked it up and learned that in the comics and such he was a regular pointy-toothed bloodsucking vampire, but they changed this for the animated series because normal vampires are too scary to have in a kids’ show. I’m still convinced all ratings people are just colossal idiots.

Uh, Ernest Scared Stupid still haunts me. From the weird Hag to the trolls and the milk. Everything about that movie has hardcoded my dna to be afraid of everything in it.

I love Fiddler on the Roof, and the film version of it is fantastic, but when I was a kid I got nightmares from the dream sequence.

Jaws had me convinced a shark might come out of the toilet and bite my bum. This never happens during Jaws, and sharks are far too large to fit in the toilet.

I remember seeing Laserblast on the TV as kid and something about it about messed with me for quite a while. These days I know that MST3K ended up doing an episode on it at some point, so it must have been low budget thrash. Yet I've never felt like watching it again. I probably like the vague scary memory more than seeing what is actually underneath the bed sheet.

It's actually kind of an awesomely produced film just not at all good to show to a couple of 6 year old kids. Weirdly even scarier to me as a child than the fantasy stuff was the forced shock therapy because it seemed too real. Speaking of which, there's a scene in the original Muppet movie where Mel Brooks is going to strap Kermit down and do shock therapy to destroy his brain and that terrified me a lot as a kid too. Why was this a common thing in 70s-80s kids films?!

There's an unfortunate tendency in some Japanese media (usually by right-wingers trying to downplay Japanese war atrocities) to portray the atomic bombings as something that just happened all of a sudden with no acknowledgement of the last decade or so of warfare that led up to it. I'm amazed Grave of the Fireflies could be mistaken for one of those, however, since it isn't even loving about Hiroshima. Vincent Van Goatse has a new favorite as of 12:45 on Sep 14, 2021 |

When I was 7-8 I was naughty and watched HBO when my parents weren't home. I caught the part of Poltergeist 2 where he swallowed the tequila worm and pukes up a monster. I strained all the pulp out of my orange juice for a decade.

To this day I have never seen a Mizayaki film, but I remember having the flu when I was around fourteen and drifting in and out of sleep with a fever while Princess Mononoke was playing on the television. I didn't even find out what it was until I tried to describe it to someone years later. All I could remember was a colony of Pillsbury Doughboys having seizures in the woods, a superhero with a grass cape and a funky arm, and wild boars exploding into clouds of poo poo.

This happened to me but with jurassic park, I had a friend that lived describing movies to me when we were 7, but he sucked at it so I was convinced the lawyer in the movie was eaten through the toilet, scared the poo poo out of me for years. Another kid poorly explaining movies a few years later convinced me that the matrix stared kids.
