For me I have three: Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask - I had the VHS and we didn’t own many other VHS tapes. I think it hit me so hard because it has this ethereal dream like vibe. The kind of dream anxiety we’re you can’t run, or call for help, or punch, etc. The feeling of helplessness. Plus the mask itself was scary as hell looking. They must have seen this and decided to tone down the rest of the series because it is genuinely disturbing. gently caress you The Haunted Mask. The Pool Episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark - gently caress water, gently caress that pool, gently caress invisible bogey men, gently caress that guy after they splash it with chemicals and it looks horrifying, and gently caress this episode of tv. Rated Y7? What the gently caress were they smoking? That episode is not for children. The Sixth Sense - In particular the girl under blankets or bed or whatever it was where she starts vomiting. I would check places in the house to make sure she wasn’t hiding and lurking. I basically had a panic attack every time I needed to open the shower curtain. It went on for weeks. gently caress you too Bruce Willis. Even as a grown adult my body simply rejects them. Im not watching that poo poo. I don’t care how much time has passed and how much other horror content I’ve become desensitized with. Nope. Simply no. I’m not going to ever watch them.

I saw Pet Sematary when I was way too young. The scene where Gage's coffin lid briefly lifts open hit me hard. The 90's version of the Night of the Living Dead and Muppet Christmas Carol also came out around the same time my grandma died so that was a weird mix of input for a five-year old. I also had trouble with Silver Bullet at the scene where that kid got "TORN APART!" However, that movie did lift my spirits shortly thereafter with Gary Busey and the ultimate in 90's handicapable representation:

Amazing Stories on NBC. The one where the guy discovers a liquid that turns the subject of a photo into a real life being. He pours some on a lingerie magazine but keeps getting the amount wrong which results in bizarre incomplete mutant women, including a giantess and a freaky wraith woman. They all say the same thing when they appear in the flesh: "Kiss me and I'm yours forever" and if he doesn't kiss them, they revert back to goo in a painful melting process. The Seeds of Doom storyline from the Tom Baker era of Doctor Who. An aggressive plant hivemind species called the Crinoids? that can whip their vines out and infect you, causing you to slowly lose your identity and become one of their shambling plant minions. It had the creepy apocalyptic feel of The Thing and Last of Us, just without the splattery gore or the multi-million dollar budget.

If movies were the only childhood trauma you experienced then congratulations, I guess? I saw Time Bandits in the theaters when it first came out and I found it baffling and disturbing, because I was 10. Once I was old enough to understand it I realized it's great, but that first time was a bit unsettling. "Mom, Dad, don't touch it - it's evil!"

Mars Attacks, specifically the skeleton guns. Despite the stellar cast, I was way, way too young for that mix of comedy and violence had nightmares for years afterwards. My mom did a great job parenting but taking me to a showing at 8 of that was maybe not the best call.

I loved the movie as a kid and still do but I could NOT watch the scene where Geena Davis rips her face off in Beetlejuice. I would run upstairs and cover my ears cause it was so freaky.

Velociraptors from original Jurassic park hosed me up for a bit. Also, I watched Event Horizon when it came out on VHS with my older sister and seeing the hero from JP rip his eyes out and be super evil was def a mind gently caress for younger me.

The little troll in Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye. Sometimes I would be afraid to fall asleep for fear that it would be in my room waiting to steal my breath. The dead construction worker in The Gate. I was just waiting for the moment his corpse would fall out of my wall. The 1988 Blob. Saw it in theaters new and it just completely hosed me up because all bets were off as to who could die, including the kid in the sewers.

The scene in the original IT where he kills Georgie and then later It folds the teen in half and sucks him into the sewer pipe. Also the lady in the tub scene in The Shining had me scared of closed shower curtains for over a decade. My Girl actually made me remember trauma. My mom had died a year or two before I saw My Girl and the glasses scene in the movie was pretty much how I felt when my aunt forced me to look at my mom's body. The nurses had left her glasses on the bedside table, probably to make her look more asleep, but it just made me realize she'd never need them again and that hosed me up good for a while.

I remember a movie where a man pulls his blood stump if a have through his handcuff. He later is gutshot and dies in a hole to then be resurrected. I've never found the title of this movie.

I knew I was a horror fan from the start, so films never got me even if gory or such. I remember when 8 or 9 watching From Beyond, where the guy gets skeletonized, and thought it was great effects. Real life stuff though did, especially this one. Early 80s, I am not sure if this was documentary or a film. It was a Native American, not sure if present day or past, going through a tribal endurance test. And the test was cutting his own chest and piercing his own nipples and tying string to them. Sounds like a BDSM video sure, but it was more artful than gory or such. What freaked me out was why you would do such a thing to yourself. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Jul 29, 2023 |

I watched Schindler's List when I was around 10 years old and I cried because I couldn't understand how people could be so cruel to one another. After the Nazis execute the one armed man for being unable to shovel, I couldn't watch anymore. My dad made fun of me for crying and still does by saying "I am an essential worker!" every so often and laughing. This has been going on for 20+ years.

The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. Evil Macaulay throws a huge rock off an overpass and causes a massive pileup, and then he blames it all on Mr. Frodo. I was like eight and remember feeling the terror of suddenly being trapped in something so much bigger and more serious than anything a kid is capable of processing. Like, in one second your life is irreparably changed and you can never go back.

My father allowed me to hire "Dawn of the dead" (Romero) back when i was 9. Gave me reoccurring nightmares for at least a decade. I was in a house and zombies were coming for me, i could not escape because i could not find my car keys. Hilariously the dream eventually updated to be "I cant escape because i cant find my hard drive" at some point.

Mars Attacks legit gave me weird nightmares as a kid. Specifically, a nightmare about a shadow puppet show about Aesops fables, interrupted by a silhouette of a Martian showing up and vaporizing the animals into skeletons as they screamed. Then, I too became a silhouette on a two-dimensional plane. I tried to get away, but they caught up and skeletalized me too.

mars attacks. I was terrified of aliens invading for a long time because of it and would have vivid nightmares about it I was also scared of being eaten alive because of fern gully and men in black. for a long time I was scared of songs with "na na" sections because of fern gully, because my little dumb idiot brain associated the scene where they all party on the cassette with tone loc lizard trying to eat them
