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
The Truman show
So much existential dread
The Never Ending Story. I was 28. Still shaken a couple decades later.
Poor horse
No spoilers!
That’s not fair. The story literally never ends.
LOL
The film ends about 1/3 into the book. And the book gets dark
I am actually trying to read a water damaged copy of the book, lent to me by a friend who named her son Atreyu.
The internet and grad school have combined in an attempt to destroy my ability to read a paper book.
Maybe a story that never ends is too big a challenge in my quest to regain that ability?
Nah, I love dark shit and I can’t wait to get to the part where he meets the nihilistic tortise with allergies. I am really curious to see what the film makers were working with from the book.
I saw this the first time I actually got high, I was probably 15 or 16. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since, I was absolutely not prepared for Falcor going in.
Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Damn you, Large Marge!
I disagree. More children’s movies need a good horror scene. Builds character.
The boat scene from Willy Wonka is another good one.
willy wonka is a materpiece
The scarab scene in The Mummy
The mummy is the only movie I can think of to ever give me a nightmare. And it was that damn scarab scene.
Yes holy shit that haunted me for YEARS
The Fly
Same here. 🤮😵💫
hahah same ! must have been 5 or so. I distinctly remember a woman entering the appartment/lab and Goldblum going “hi, whatsername” while all glued to the ceiling like a proto-fly. These two seconds have been chasing me for thirty years.
I was in college when I watched that for the first time and I still think I was too young.
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.
This is what I was going to say too!
I’m not sure if it was the premiere, but I do remember being called to come and see it - so it must have been some sort of event, or else they wouldn’t have called me in specially.
Anyway, yeah, those eyes at the end. The rest didn’t bother me at all, but those eyes haunted me for years.
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.
This is the first title that I thought of when reading the thread
Most depressing movie for sure. So hard to watch. I get a dark feeling even thinking about some of those scenes and character arcs
Event Horizon
i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later
I was too young when I saw this too. (I was in my 20s)
I’m 50 and I’m still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I’ve ever seen.
One of my dad’s favorite movies. We would run through the den on the way to kitchen whenever he had it on. Definitely gave me nightmares at age 10 and for years afterwards.
Hell yeah brother
Great film, other than the weird trope of “they speak Latin in hell for some unexplained reason”, which always bugs me
The scene where one guy shoves his whole forearm down his own throat is… unforgettable.
Funnily enough, I’ve forgotten it. Seen the film 2 or 3 times, too!
That was cut from some versions of the movie.
As someone who’s never seen it, I feel like I need to watch it now.
That guy spoke Latin before he went to Hell. You can hear him using it to make a pronouncement on the log just before things went bad.
Ah, had forgotten that. Plus, it’s never confirmed the ship has literally been to hell - just someplace weird, awful and magical.
The Brave Little Toaster.
Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.
Underworld
I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me
Also, girls in leather
Sometimes I wonder if seeing the Masked Magician as a child was a stepping stone to my interest in women. I’ve rewatched clips of it as an adult. Why was it so horny? As a kid I remember cool magic tricks. But like… Why the industrial BDSM looking sets and constant comments about the women’s bodies? I guess that was just more “normal” then. But then again maybe it wasn’t, I remember hearing that Penn has a problem with that guy because he’s a creep? Who fucking knows.
Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn’t old enough to handle that yet, apparently
One of my friends recommended this, and I had to turn it off a few minutes in. That movie is insane.
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 🤷🏻
I bet you were pretty fucking far from OK eh?
I was like 6 when i saw some of The Ring. It fucked me up for a long time.
