None, but I saw Child's Play as a kid and it scared me for years afterwards.

I don't know how old we all were, but I joined some kids older than me watch Resident Evil. It was okay until the laser corridor scene. Haunted me for years.

There are many other movie scenes of that nature that stuck with me. Guy getting eaten by shark. Guy losing a leg in rescue attempt. Guy getting violently whacked by piece of cable. Guy losing his hand by confronting his father. Except for the last one I do not recall any of these movies titles or overall story lol

Bad taste. My brother got a copy but didn't let me watch, so I waited until he was out before I put it on.

I can still remember the guy putting his brains back in his head and carrying on.

Then I heard the director was making some fantasy movies and lost respect for him.

A Nightmare on Elm Street.

I was 8, my Mom said I wasn't allowed to watch it. I watched it at a friend's house.

I was so sure that night that Freddy was going to grab me through the bed like he did to Johnny Depp that I went to my Mom in her room and admitted to her that I watched it then promptly vomited on her due to the accumulated fear.

Grave of the Fireflies. I was around 24 years old.

My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind's eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called "Faces of Death" and a movie called "Pink Flamingos". Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn't seem as bad as I remembered, but it's not a great scene to have stuck in your head...

Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.

American History X. Curb stomping was a lot for 13 year old me to process.

Bridge to terrabithia

Wasn't really to young but didn't know what to expect and got emotionally crushed by accident. Just heard it was a good movie and put it on one evening.

"Akira" when I was 10-ish. Wanted to check what this anime thing was about, was not prepared for nuclear blasts, and people becoming giant body-horror amoebas. Still, it was a good intro into anime, along with Dominion Tank Police (another hilariously not-for-10-year-olds number). And set the bar way too high for most other ones I watched later.

Final destination

Saw

Event Horizon. I saw the first half as part of the second half of a double feature at the drive-in theater with my family. I think Men in Black was the first feature. I was 9 when I saw that topless dead woman scene. It's such an underrated movie.

The Truman show

So much existential dread

The scarab scene in The Mummy

The Never Ending Story. I was 28. Still shaken a couple decades later.

The Exorcist. I was about 8 years old. It was on tv one Saturday night. At church the next morning I had a bunch of questions and needed some consoling.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Damn you, Large Marge!

The Green Mile

I think I was like 10

Kids, the movie from the mid 90s where a New York teen is trying to bang virgins and spreading HIV. Freaked me out.

This is gunna sound stupid, but "Tales from the Hood." At the end of that movie, where you learned all the guys are already dead, in hell and the guy telling the stories is satan just scared the absolute shit outta me.

Event Horizon

i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later

The world premiere of the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video scared the fucking shit out of me. I ran out of the room screaming when MJ turned to his date and had yellow demon cat eyes. Man fuck that.

There's a shitty horror flick called The Hand from the early eighties. Michael Caine is in it, hamming it for the paycheck I suppose but still kinda cool even if the movie is pretty bad. Anyway, there's a terrible effects shot of the titular crawling hand pushing its way through the plumbing in a shower, and I still sometimes have nightmares of that scene decades later. 5 year old me was not ready.

The Fly

Well I wasn't too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it's just...really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

The trailer for Aliens was my introduction to the notion that maybe monsters could get through locked doors!

As an adult, it's one of my all-time favourites.

Not exactly a movie, but a cartoon series.

It was that episode of Power Puff Girls where they went to a dystopic future and everything was a hellscape dominated by Him. That episode made me think about my mortality and future regrets.

Event Horizon when I was 10. I think that recalibrated what the entire concept of fear was in my mind.

Tons of horror movies.

The Brave Little Toaster.

Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.

A hokey 80s movie called "The Guardian". Its not scary at all but there was a tree with a face on it, and it hit me at the right age and scared the bejesus out of me for some reason. I don't think I understood the plot at the time, just scary tree face.

Threads, not a good movie for 5 year olds.

Underworld

I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me

Also, girls in leather

Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn't old enough to handle that yet, apparently

Not exactly a movie, but my older sisters had me watch the original IT mini-series when I was very young and I had clown nightmares for years after.

Nothing But Trouble

E. T.

I don't care that it was rated P. G., they killed my friend and I was just as sad as Elliot. The tubes and the quarantine were absolutely terrifying to me as a child and even seeing clips nowadays gives sends a shiver down my spine. Just sadness and fear.

So...yeah, I was watching Tales from the Crypt when I was like 9.

Arachnophobia​

It doesn't actually still haunt me (I'm the family spider hunter) but I did get nightmares for a while from that one.

The ring, when I was 11. I was scared for years

Arachnophobia

My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that "Pulp Fiction" was on, decided to watch it because he "heard it was pretty good".

It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn't turn it off sooner 🤷🏻
