The Exorcist, TV version ~1980

I stress TV version, as I assume that the 1980 era, a TV watching family just assumed that because a show is played ‘is on prime time CBS’ , that it’s just fine and not going to be potentially traumatic for a 10 year old.

Oops!

Some years later I would watch the original uncut version, and i think the TV version may have been more deeply scary, since the cut stuff was mainly just gross. I think it was those short hospital cutscenes that were some of the most nightmare inducing, those moment when you realize things are out of control …

Three movies. One for good reason, another because I am still not sure why, and the last was due to being scared of potty training.

All Dogs go to Heaven
When I was still a very young child sitting on a stool eating some food. My parents at the time we lived in a very poor lifestyle. In Georgia, we didn't have a cockroach problem but we drat sure did have a major wasp problem. In the movie, the Dog charlie is in heaven and is about to turn his clock back so he can come back to life so he can do whatever it is that he did in the movie. But in this scene, the reason why it traumatized me was because the moment the cat starts screaming a wasp flew inside of my ear and started stinging the poo poo out of me. I had to be rushed to the hospital and I remember that sharp pain hitting me because of it. When I watched the movie again a few months later I remember being so scared of that scene like it was a countdown. So I hated it and during school when they showed the movie to the rest of us kids I remember just being on the computer learning. Parents had to tell my teacher to not show the movie to me because of that.

I cant find the clip of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? but I remember during my toilet training my mother told me I used to buckle my legs when I tried going to the toilet because one scene from the movie traumatized me as a child when Roger Rabbit went down the toilet. Apparently I screamed in fear or something.

drat I just remembered a time when I was around 11 and my mom used to make me go to this church youth group thing that I hated. One Sunday after church I got dropped off at the minister’s house with a bunch of other kids my age. Minister said “let’s watch a movie!” and he put on the Killing Fields, a movie I was aware of but not so sure I wanted to see. That was fun, so much better than playing video games. My favorite scene was the dude escaping and realizing he was in a mud pit surrounded by rotting corpses and skeletons with plastic bags over their heads.

Glad to see Gooey Gus on the front page. I got in trouble because I squeezed out an entire tube of toothepaste after watching the episode he was in. I was convinced he could be hiding in it. Dad was pissed.

When I was 5 there was an episode of Unsolved Mysteries aired that had a segment about Dave Bocks. He was a pipe fitter at a facility that secretly processed high grade uranium. The company had been working to cover up that they’d released roughly 200 tons of radioactive dust into the air and local water. Bocks was suspected of being a whistleblower and disappeared on the job one night in 1984. Long story short it’s believed due to the presence of personal effects and a temporary dip in temperature that someone dumped his body into a furnace. This was accompanied by a reenactment of this theory that freaked me out a ton. I couldn’t really process that this was just a theory. In the clip some guys hook and cable around his feet, maneuver him above the furnace, and drop him in. I imagined they were laughing maniacally when they did it but upon watching it again recently they of course don’t. I wasn’t sure I’d ever see it again because me memories were so hazy but another goon was able to link me to a YouTube video with the entire episode.

The Lottery

I have a significant scar on my nose that makes it look broken from the age of four, when a friend and I were throwing rocks at pools of water at our feet. Sometime around the age of nine I saw this film on television, which contains an unbelievably realistic stoning scene. I've left more kitchen jobs than I can count over coworkers who threw poo poo at each other. I just leave. All my friends and family know not to throw stuff at me. I'll let your keys hit the ground, your valuable item you chose to throw, instead of neatly hand over, whatever you want to put into the air wont be caught by me, I'll just sidestep it.

From that description I’d say it’s probably this:

I had a ticket to a different movie but ended up in the wrong theater. The opening scene was so fascinating I just stayed in my seat and watched the whole thing. I was 10 at the time.

I became convinced the movie was some kind of disturbing confession or revelation. The raising of the curtain on an underlying truth that the grown-ups in my life would never admit or even entertain as a concept; that our species is living completely out of balance with the natural world and that industrial civilization was probably a terrible mistake, and all our institutions propping it up reflects a collective failure of leadership and foresight.

40 years later I don't think substantially different about any of those things.

This. More depressing than scary but it definitely had a significant effect on me for quite a while.

Dolls in general just hosed up me for years as a kid. Even today, human dolls that are supposed to be 'cute' still are unsettling.

Sadly, I am the rear end in a top hat parent who watched this with a very young daughter. She is STILL terrified of Chucky as a young lady. Oops! I guess repeatedly telling her that "it's just make believe" didn't really cut it. I'm a dumbass.........

I was never scared of Chucky, even as a kid, because he was still a drat doll. Have you seen the damage kids do to toys they like?

I am glad Toy Story wasn't on when I was a kid, because the idea of your toys being alive and pretty much being in a nonstop popularity contest and dragging on each other, being conscious of being thrown away? I already had anxiety as a kid about my toys, like what if one of them felt less loved and disappeared or was thrown away?

Same thing with Coraline. What kid doesn't want cooler and nicer parents and neighbors who spoil you and dote on you? And the only catch is you need to have buttons over your eyes? Wait, instead of eyes?


Apparently one kid movie I watched nonstop but always made me panic at one moment was A Mouse and His Child, some stupid nonDisney animated movie about wind-up toys. And yes they were alive. And some of them ended up enslaved by rats. The freakout moment every goddamn time, and I watched this movie apparently almost every day, was when one of the wind-up donkeys was exhausted and half broken and begged for some rest, and then you only saw the shadows and heard him screaming that no no, he'd get up and work, while a rat took him apart.


Wait, Threads is on youtube? Every time I try to see the ending it always spins into that stupid Happy Days "gotcha!"

Heavy Metal: violence in cartoons always disturbed me.
The Shining: bathtub scene especially
Saving Private Ryan: saw in the theaters, the opening scene when people get immediately blown away as soon as the doors opened was very scary.

I’ve never seen the end of Rock-a-Doodle. So I saw most of it at daycare, and everything was still flooded when I left.

There's this obscure as hell late 90's kid flick called Warriors of Virtue. This movie is pure trash in every form, a poor man's TMNT live action knockoff, but the villain did this thing where he would randomly trapdoor his loyal soldiers into a human meat shredder below his throne for shits and grins. No real motive other than just cause he felt like doing it.

The part that got to me was how terrified that grunt was at simply doing his job of relaying a message before getting shredded into meat, super hosed to watch that play out.

Yeah that and the flashback to the WWII guy freaked me out. It doesn’t affect me much if I watch it now, but at the time I thought it perfectly captured the gloom and dread of a Stephen King book. It wasn’t until years later that I learned meningitis does not actually turn a person into a demented skeleton witch.

I’m pretty sure it was this movie that made my mom permanently hate Stephen King forever
