I saw part of one movie in the 80's or early 90's where one guy holds someone down and vomits a sort of alien squid into another person's mouth, and then that person was possesed by it. No idea what the name of it was though.

Prince of Darkness.

Also Return of the Living Dead 3. Such a weird mix of horny and existential horror.

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?

Yeah that's the one. I found an archive of Tales from the Darkside: https://archive.org/details/PDTV0156/

The cutty black sow is infuriating. Probably the best horror episode on that show.

Pet Sematary: MOTHERFUCKING ZELDA! I still can't watch this movie because of her.

I blocked that out my memory. Its always strange people forget that scene and its the scariest thing ever.

It's pretty embarrassing, given how silly the film is, but this scene in Ernest Scared Stupid haunted me for years.

I should mention The Black Hole (1980, Disney). 'Severe childhood trauma' is a little histrionic, but there's plenty to freak out the unwary, including:

* A spooky deserted gothic-architecture spaceship parked by a black hole, in constant imminent danger of doom.
* Cloaked spooky monk servants.
* Who are later revealed to be the original crew, murdered and turned into shrunken wizened zombies underneath their mirrored fencing masks.
* A megalomaniac scientist.
* And his 8 foot tall blood red murder-robot with spinning slice and dice knives for hands.
* That he eviscerates Norman Bates with.
* Even at nine, I had a suspicion that an Indiana Jones-style ball (except its a loving asteroid) rolling right through the centre of the ship might not be plausible, but still.
* Betrayal by Ernest Borgnine, of all people.
* And the end, which is essentially Dante's Inferno by way of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The villain, already dead, being sucked into the black hole, only to later emerge trapped inside the body of his murder robot to view the burning landscape of hell for eternity, while simultaneously the good guys undergo the Disney version of spaghettification.

One of my reoccurring childhood nightmares was inspired by the end of that film.
