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.

The ring, when I was 11. I was scared for years

Arachnophobia​

It doesn't actually still haunt me (I'm the family spider hunter) but I did get nightmares for a while from that one.

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.

The first Ghost busters movie

I saw scenes of it at six years old and some of them were really scary if you are too young. For weeks I had nightmares about chairs grabbing me with demon arms or demon dogs trying to eat me.

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 Fly

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.

Not exactly a movie, but my older sisters had me watch the original IT mini-series when I was very young and I had clown nightmares for years after.

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!

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.

The Brave Little Toaster.

Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.

Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn't old enough to handle that yet, apparently

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.

I saw Full Metal Jacket when I was 12. That one took a while to get over.

Jurassic Park, I was 8. Saw it at the cinema and was hiding behind the seats. It still hits a bit hard.

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.

They showed us 4 Rooms at summer camp when it had just come out on VHS. I was 13 but pretty sheltered and that movie was kind of nuts.

Underworld

I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me

Also, girls in leather

I have no clue what the movie was. All I know is that my grandmother was watching it while I was in the same room. I remember being too bored to pay attention at 4 years old or so. Except when I looked over at the screen and saw a man put a gun to his head he pull the trigger. The music went silent after and we got an areal shot of the blood spreading. It left such an impression it’s one of my earliest memories.

That Tom Hanks movie where he's stranded on an island after a plane crash when I was 6.

I saw it a day before taking my first plane ride and going over sea.

American News

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.

Star Trek: First Contact scared me shitless as a kid. They made a fucking Star Trek horror film. As an adult, I'd say 8/10 movie.

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 🤷🏻

Grave of the fireflies

silence of the lambs at like 8. still one if my all time faves but I definitely could've waited a few more years to get into it lol

Aliens. Must have been 12 or so. A boring sunday and my friend's mom drove us to the cinema. (In Germany the movie was rated 16) but we didn't bounce off at the desk. I was not exactly horrified, but so ... thrilled. After that I dived a bit too deep into the H.R.Giger universe, I guess.

Fire in the sky. Alien abduction still freak me out

A.I. Artificial Intelligence by Steven Spielberg. Not sure if I was too young, but the emotions still haunt me to this day.
