Green Inferno. I’m a huge horror fan and am not bothered by gore, but man that cannibalism was so graphic I can’t shake the images.

I slept over at a friend's house, and we watched The Shining when I was 12. Still haunts me to this day, and I've never re-watched it since.

My Girl. I have a fear of bees because of that movie.

For me it was The Amytiville Horror (1979). I still can't look out of a window at night and not think of seeing eyes. I didn't see the film until I was about 11, so mid 80s.

2 Movies really.

  1. Bette Davis in the Nanny. I haven't liked the bath since.
  2. Death Wish. Wasn't suitable for an adolescent. I'm still traumatized by the home invasion / rape scene. Hey, that was Hope Lange from the Ghost & Mrs Muir!

The Naked Lunch. I was probably 10 years old? I didn't understand any of the plot, I was weirded the fuck out and the giant bugs made me sick to my stomach.

Creep Show, the segment with the Antarctic wolf creature scared the shit outta me. It still creeps me out to this day for some reason.

Grizzly. Couldn't sleep the night I saw that one

Poltergeist 2 - specifically the braces scene, I was terrified of getting them. Oddly enough, I was fine with the first one.

That super creepy Alice in Wonderland version from around the same time that I always forget the name of.

Tons of horror movies.

The Thin Red Line

[-] hbar@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Jurassic Park 3 when I was 9 for a friend's birthday. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for weeks. I'm not really haunted by it any more but the scene where the skeleton in the parachute swings out of the tree is seared into my brain.

The Exorcist

Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal.

Saturday Night Fever. At the theater. With both my parents. Not even in middle school, by a few years.

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.

Terminator 2. I saw it when I was 6 or 7 when it came out on vhs. I didn’t want to watch kids movies ever again after that. It was fucking awesome. As far as scarring me, none, people in my elementary school were watching Faces of Death.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

Sleepers. I was raised watching horror and other movies which I probably should not have (early favorites included A Nightmare on Elm Street and Robocop), but the only one which was too much was seeing Sleepers when I was ten or eleven. Too realistic, I guess.
