Tales from the Darkside was an anthology horror TV show that was a massive mixed bag of quality. Even as a kid, there were some episodes that were incredibly stupid, or had a really dumb twist, or just weren't scary. But some episodes absolutely terrified me, including: An episode where a college student moves into a new room and there's a monster that lives in a little miniature room that she can't open. My grandmother had a tiny door like that in her attic and I became convinced a similar monster lived in there. A kid invents a vacuum cleaner thing that can suck up noise, but then it goes haywire and starts suffocating people so they don't make noise any more. I'm sure this one is more stupid than anything else, but at 7 or 8 years old it felt like a terrifying way to die. An old man dies but doesn't realize it and digs himself out of his own grave and comes home. Throughout the episode he starts slowly rotting away while the family pleads with him to go back into his grave, but he just keeps insisting he's still alive. At the end of the episode a kid sneaks pepper into his food, the old man sneezes, and his nose falls off so he finally admits he's dead. I was really scared of the concept of death as a kid and the idea that I could wander around as an undead, rotting thing just made that even more complicated and scary for me.

Was it tales from the Crypt or Darkside that had the mummy coming back to life and pulling the dudes brain out his nose? That episode hosed me up good, I had nightmares related to it for years that were all about gaping skull wounds, brains leaking, and monsters that would hunt you indefinitely.

That was the Tales from the Darkside movie, which is really good. We didn't have cable growing up so I could only see Tales from the Crypt in the edited for Fox versions that aired. But that was still enough for me. I got freaked out during the opening credits (when the Cryptkeeper popped out and laughed). I only remember watching one full episode - a guy goes to a costume party, meets a woman, takes her home and falls in love. But the whole time she's wearing her mask from the party. The guy gets frustrated and ends up trying to rip it off and - shock of shocks - it's her real face. That was enough for me as a kid but then the real terror started - he tries to run away only to find a hidden room full of sliced off faces from guys who tried to take off her mask. As an adult that's still a pretty solid episode but as a kid? Pure nightmare fuel between the guy trying to rip off her face and then all the skinned faces hanging up later.

I don't know what movie prompted it, but I remember being 6 or 7 and seeing something where a creature grabbed someones ankle from under the bed. I would get only as close to the bed as necessary and jump from a distance for a few years.

I watched way too much of that stuff on the scifi channel after we got cable. Even the intro to Tales from the Darkside put me on edge. Night Gallery is also spotty in a different way, but some of them hold up extremely well and are really creepy.

The bike kid scene from Toxic Avenger. They made action figures and a cartoon out of the movie, so it had to be child friendly, right? https://youtu.be/8_ezLVkoU2k

sticksy posted:I have 9 year old twins and am now wrestling with what badass/scary movies from my childhood to let them watch and when. My parents growing up were pretty strict when it came to R rated and horror movies but I still managed to watch a decent amount in my later teens at my buddy’s house. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ I have the same age kid and have been trying to figure out when they can see stuff from my childhood, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark, things like that. I feel like she needs another year or two. We started Raiders and the snakes stuff was too much.These landed well but they're all tame: Hocus Pocus, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Batteries Not Included, and even Ghostbusters. Surprisingly The Princess Bride didn't really click with her. Not from my childhood but she loved the How to Train your Dragon movies. They are done super well and you can enjoy them too. There's a whole series with the same voice actors too which looks basically the same. It's a fine line with the scarier stuff cause they want the thrill but you don't want the stuff that'll give them nightmares and every kid is different.

I know I saw both of these commercials exactly once on adult swim. Didn't know what a bong was so I thought that kid was drinking like a tiki cocktail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VChpS5-GNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKCYDrur_WI

There was a commercial in the early 80s that showed a ceramic doll head being smashed by a baseball bat, and it always freaked me out. I've never been able to find it again though.

White Light posted:Hit more into my teen years, but like half the drat movie from the '04 The Grudge cause loving hell that bitch just won't quit I miss that time int he 00s when Japanese horror got popular it affected American horror, so a bunch of horror films came out that ended up not even having any type of good ending, it's just a curse that gets the characters no matter what. The horror is just knowing that there's no escape and you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop and sorta hoping the characters do somehow make it through (they don't).

The clown in Poltergeist grabs the boy from under the bed iirc and it is absolutely scary as all get out. I wonder if that could be it? E: quick google- he grabs him from behind then drags him under the bed after the boy looks under the bed from the other side Spielberg supposedly said ET was made from his dreams and Poltergeist his nightmares. If he did it definitely adds up to me. That is one scary rear end movie and I'm pretty sure I saw it as a young teen. Big Ass On Fire fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Aug 3, 2023 |

I have a warped sense of not being scared from horror movies due to grandma letting me watch a ton with her, but somehow I just had a flashback to being a scared kid again.

I guess this is the relive your childhood trauma thread. My mom was weirded out by some episode of an anthology show. It was about a woman that gets a phone call with a muffled voice that she doesn't understand. Twist: the call was from herself in the future. Does anyone remember what that was?

Yep PG. It had a ton of depth too. Even though everyone knew there was too much movie left for the haunting to be done the rebirth scene of the mom and daughter was super well done. The acting was all top notch too. But the scary stuff was so good.

Whatever you choose, watch through it first to be sure. You'll be surprised at how much you don't remember. I thought "hey, let's show the kids the animated Peter Pan but just skip all the racist stereotype parts" and the movie ended up being like 35 minutes long.
