happyhippy posted: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.  I grew up watching more horror movies than children’s movies due to my two older sisters’ love of them. Saw so much ‘80s and early ‘90s horror in theaters and on VHS/cable that I was more impressed by the special effects than the actual gore or scares. I remember watching Hellraiser and Hellraiser II in theaters (lol) and thinking the Cenobites looked rad as gently caress.The things that frightened me more were the tamer things in horror like the troll in Cat’s Eye or Torrez being torn apart by zombies in Day of the Dead where his vocal cords are slowly severed and his screams get higher pitched; absolutely chilling. But yeah, if we’re talking about kid’s movies, Gmork in The Neverending Story, combined with his musical cue of stinging strings was and always will send shivers down my spine and a deep primal fear in my soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q6u4WHIwco

In high school I watched Alive while incredibly stoned and the crash scene where the tail section of the plane is torn off and passengers get ejected into the freezing, desolate Andes gave me a rapid heartbeat and anxiety sweats.Grem posted:If you're over 40 and you don't say Watership Down you are a loving liar For some reason, the blood and death in Watership Down didn't faze me. We watched it on VHS in my elementary school. I remember being impressed that a cartoon could be mature enough to have characters die. I felt the same way about Robotech. Cartoons like G.I. Joe felt dumb in comparison. Nobody hit anything they were aiming at and the bad guys always got away. I know the stakes were raised in the animated Hasbro theatrical movies but that was later on.

Same, but I knew about the jumpscare in advance and would always close my eyes during this scene. It's hilarious now, though. Also, not a movie, but it took me many years to go back and finish Ocarina of Time because of the re-deads that appear in Castle Town when you pull out the Master Sword.

Marv getting electrocuted in Home Alone 2 really hosed me up I slept with the door open as a child until the alien footage in Signs. I thought it would walk right across the doorway. I was exposed to Chucky way too young and it still freaks me out. Mars Attacks is a good one. I was too young to understand the comedy blend of it for sure and it was just horrifying.

I was not allowed to watch anything "bad" growing up but I did see Temple of Doom in the theater and my mom had to escort me outside around the heart part If PG-13 had been invented yet I probably wouldn't have been taken to that movie I also saw Carrie while sleeping over a friend's house and that traumatized me for a different reason

No trauma, but I was very scared and disturbed by how the Crypt Keeper looks. Yeah, the puppet that tells cheesy jokes. Sometimes tales from the crypt would show up on syndication randomly and I would freak out and cry just seeing it.

For me it was nazi home invasion scene in An American Werewolf in London. Really that whole movie, but to be fair I was about six or seven when I first saw it. Love it now, but as a kid? gently caress that poo poo

The Alien parody at the end of Spaceballs freaked me out bad, to my young mind it was probably just as scary as the original. That part in Robocop 2 where they do unnecessary surgery on the crooked cop That part in Volcano where a dude jumps off the subway car and into the lava, vanishing from the bottom up like Arnie at the end of T2. I thought a lot about that dude. Toxic Avenger. The way they set up and humiliate the nerd, drat.

I remember being about 9/10 and a friend and I watching all these action films which we loved (robocop/predator etc). The only ones that actually scared me were the silly low budget horror about toys coming to life and killing people. I can't even remember the names of them (I'm guessing chucky knock offs)?

The "day-o" scene in Beetlejuice. I can't even hear that song out of context without feeling vaguely unsettled. Also, I went to my room & cried when Johnny 5 got the poo poo beaten out of him in Short Circuit. My mom tried to console me by showing me that they fixed him, but it didn't help.

I was maybe 7 or 8 when a friend showed me Robocop and the part where they shoot Murphy to pieces hosed me up so bad. I think it was the dismemberment that traumatized me the most because to this day most scenes involving dismemberment have made me wince. It didn't help that I saw similar scenes within a year or two (Jack Black in Jackal, Stellan Skarsgård in Deep Blue Sea) and those further hosed me up. I guess it was the first time I even fully realized that yes, people can get destroyed like that.

Koyaanisqatsi. 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.

I didn't even see the film, but my local video store sent out a magazine with ads for new releases. The Australian comedy-horror "Body Melt" had an ad, but some of the cover art was censored in the magazine. I'd agonise for hours about what was under there. It turned out, nothing as bad as my imagination came up with, but that was after weeks of nightmares. I was fine with movies generally and watched quite a lot of horror, but this ad terrified me: https://youtu.be/8i2BzYLpK08

I almost forgot about Fire in the Sky until someone posted it here but that was the one for me. I wouldn't say it still lives inside me but that was some scary poo poo during the 90s alien craze.

I never even saw it but the preview for Volcano had me so freaked out about movie I would turn my head during the coming attractions because I was scared I would see it. Love how many people were upset by Mars Attacks, Tim Burton really nailed the weird aliens with the huge brains and the "ack ack ack"

Mr Teatime posted:Darby O'Gill and the Little People Saw this on a big screen when I was 6 or 7 and durn near pissed myself. That whole sequence with the death coach, I was just NOPE. It’s a good movie and I like it a lot, but I still get a little wibbly whenever the banshee does her thing. Jaws completely hosed my ability to go into the ocean without panicking, and that guy’s creepy dead face bobbing into view is probably the biggest shock a film has ever laid on me.
