What is that movie you saw at too young an age that still haunts you to this day? (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty sure you mean Arachnophobia, which is the film I came here to mention.

Someone put it on at a slumber party before I could see what it was (definitely wouldn't have stuck around if I knew what was coming). It kept me up for months and months, and intensified an already existing phobia. It's like 30 years later and I'll still occasionally wake up in horror from seeing huge spiders in my dreams..

I've seen arachnophobia, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. I just rewatched the trailer and I definitely don't see anything that looks like what i see in my head from the flick im thinking of.

Huh, well now I know there's another spider horror film out there for me to avoid, but not what it's called, so that's fun lol
Mostly kidding, but if you do remember the name at some point, please do share! 😂

I'll try to remember if the title ever comes to me. I've been tilting at this windmill periodically for years, so I don't have much hope.

Take care stranger.

You're good, and who knows, maybe today is the day some other random stranger ends your search, it's just wasn't me lol

And thanks, right back at you!

Tarantula?

That one put me in fear every time I walked into a room in my house for weeks. I would always be looking above the door and to the sides, just in case a spider was on the wall ready to pounce. ugh!
