Artax in the Swamp of Sadness

A Watership Down. Fucking trauma for years.

Fire in the Sky Just no. I couldn’t even look at an image of a grey alien for years. Had to look away during the opening credits of X-files because they flashed an image of a grey. I got over it. I actually rewatched it during the pandemic lock-in. It holds up pretty well.

Oh wow, yeah Event Horizon is not a good movie to see in your youth haha. That’s intense!

For me, I didn’t get to see the whole movie, but I walked into the living room while my parents were watching Hostel and I saw the achilles tendon scene. That imagery still haunts me to this day. Grew up to love horror, though!

Blair witch project. I really thought it was real founded footage

This was definitely not a horror movie, but I watched it as a very young kid, so even as an adult I don’t like this fucker.

I was a real scaredy cat as a kid, so for me Terminator and Jurassic Park were the ones I remember giving me nightmares that other people would know. Outside of that weirdly the movie “the edge” with its bear terrified me, I always imagined a bear could just rip through the wall of our home and grab me. Another weird one was The 13th Warrior, there was a particular scene in.a bloody cabin that really upset me, but I dont think the movie was really scary, I was probably just way too young to watch it

Raiders of the Lost Ark. 12 year old me had a great time with that movie until people startet to melt…

Arachnophobia. I one of the ones that claims I acquired a minor version from the film. Took me years to get over it. Of dedicated effort, after I grew up. Even today a sudden sighting can sometimes get a squeak out of me though, annoyingly.

Stephen King’s IT. Technically a mini-series. But it messed me up for awhile, especially the blood on the shower wall scene.

John Carpenter’s The Thing. I wouldn’t go down to the basement by myself for like three months.

Still one of my favorite movies.

My cousins made me watch John Carpenter’s The Thing when I was eight years old. Assholes.

The movie Saturday the 14th also messed me up for a while, what with the Creature from the Black Lagoon getting into someone’s bathtub through the drain pipes. It may be silly dreck, but it was a bit much for a five year old.

I was going to say the same thing! I was so surprised to see that exact movie as your choice lol. It’s a great movie.

I too was a weaker constitution child and had to leave Beetlejuice and Jurassic Park.

I also ended up scared of Leprechaun in a hotel room when I was like 6.

One that sticks out that I’ve never been able to place, though. I was in another hotel room with my dad and woke up to it. All I remember was a gargoyle or something was killing people and at the end they managed to trap its spirit in a chair and then burned the chair in a fire. I had nightmares about that movie for years after but have never been able to figure out what it was.

The Shining. Watched it when I was under ten years old.

Couldn’t sleep with the lights off for months.

But I agree with OP about on the Event Horizon movie. My experience with that film was great cause I just expected a sci-fi movie. Instead I got a twisted vision of horror that still haunts me to this day.
