Jesus me too. God I haven't thought about that damn movie in a long time
SAW
I watched Dirty Harry when I was around 6 or 7 and my parents had gone out for the night. I was really freaked out and crying when they came homeβ¦
Them!.... old movie about giant ants. Even now when i hear the noise they make it gives me goose bumps.
βPokemon: Jirachi, Wish Makerβ for me. It had this really creepy Groudon with tentacles.
Stephen King's IT.
Tim Curry is a phenomenal actor.
When I was 4 and watched Spirited Away I was terrified
Superman III
For me it was Poltergeist 2. That really scared the shit out of 9yo me π
I watched Halloween for the first time when I was in like 3rd grade. It was even the dumbed down version on TNT with commercials, but I ended up waking up in the middle of the night and puking over the railing of the top bunk. Poor sister was on the bottom.
I vividly remember watching everyone clean up my puke while I sat up there lol.
Anyway, I fucking love horror movies now. What an origin story.
Saw Backdraft when I wasn't supposed to. Still have to have the door closed to sleep.

Witness - I was about the same age as the kid in the movie. I'm still sketched put in Airport/train/bus station bathrooms.
Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.
Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U
if cartoons count, the "return the slab" episode on Courage the cowerdly dog, scared the hell out of me and I couldn't be in the dark for months after.
The Stephen King movie Silver Bullet. I have always really liked but been freaked out by werewolf movies and something about Everett McGills performance as the priest mixed with the usual stalking of the wolf really spooked me.
