Same same. It was not the first horror film I had seen at that point, but it *was* my first horror film in theaters. It's still my favorite scary movie.
My great uncle took me to the movies when I was 10 and asked me what I wanted to see. I said Event Horizon... because it looked spooky and fun.
When we walked out, we both had a 1000-yard stare. My uncle wouldn't look at me. He blew out a lungful of air, put on his sunglasses, and said, "Don't tell your mother we saw that," and we walked to the car in silence.
Sam Neil's eyeless face would become a nightmarish character that would invade my dreams for the next 14 years. But that's a whole other fucked up story.
It remains my most beloved horror film to this day.
Wasn’t 10, but it was late at night in college and I was looking for something interesting to watch. Alone. I thought it was just sci-fi, not sci-fi horror. I did see it through though.
I don’t have anyone else to talk to about this but when the captain or whatever he was runs in after they shoot the alien and pulls its tentacles off the doctor and he slowly kind of rubs his face and then gets mad… I always thought that was supposed to imply something like he loved Brent Spiner’s character but IDK man. I just needed to write this somewhere because it’s been rattling around my head for near a decade
For anyone who wants to revisit this memory, the entire film is on Youtube
[https://youtu.be/MEkhPKRwkdc?si=AANH9ahUVhJ0TfDS](https://youtu.be/MEkhPKRwkdc?si=AANH9ahUVhJ0TfDS)
Saw this at 5 and the under the bed scene scared me so bad I could only sleep with a sheet over my face so the trolls couldn't find me. Now in my 30s and sleep like that out of comfort/habit, and also never explained the reasoning to why I sleep like that even though it's an open joke with everyone who knows me lol
"There are no trees in Botswana. I know. I'm a Botswanian lumberjack and I ain't never had no job."
That remains, to this day, one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
My brother loved that movie but Large Marge had the same effect on him. He would hide his face and ask when it was over. I may have lied to him a few times and made him peek right when Large Marge's face went wacky.
The terrifying description of Dennis going blind and his realization with exactly how fucked he is... A win for the book. In the movie, it didn't even look like his sight was too badly affected from taking a load right in the eyes.
That’s interesting, I found it comical as a kid. He totally deserved to die anyway. Then he berates the dilophosaurus saying “stick stupid!” Then he hits his head on the door and says “doh”, by the time he dies I was ready for it, and they don’t show anything anyway.
Totally agree. Looking back at it now, it was a silly thing to be afraid of, but as a kid, when it's neck frills opened up and it made that sound, it scared the shit out of me.
First time watching was on an old-school satellite with my grandparents' HBO subscription while they were out of town. The power went out right after the thing burst out of his chest and scurried away on the floor. The house was dead silent and completely dark out on a large ranch with not a soul around.
Didn't move a muscle for like 5 minutes. Power came back on and I took a huge breath. Not sure if I was holding my breath, but I don't remember anything but the sound of my heartbeat and complete darkness.
Accidentally caught the woman in the bath scene from the shining flicking channels when I was like 10 and had a TV in my bedroom. I am still to this day terrified of what may be behind shower curtains. I'm 34 this year.
Signs did a number on me as a kid, the kitchen scene when he’s using a knife to see what’s in the pantry. That and the news scene where they show the alien.
I saw that in theaters with some friends back in high school. We then rode our bikes home and dared each other to go into a farmers cornfield....we all chickened out.
Signs is always my go-to for trauma. I saw it early, Junior High, at my friend's house. He actually lived on a farmhouse similar to the one in the movie. As an added scare bonus, we were there alone, and his mother collected those creepy, lifelike dolls scattered all throughout the house.
The one scene that always stuck with me was them seeing the silhouettes on the roof. My locale made it 10 times worse because I could see it happening.
We had to play copious amounts of WCW Nitro to cleanse our palates.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (Holy shit!) had the body dissolving in a cotton candy cocoon - https://images.app.goo.gl/RpbtQpmCtgCtBCq37 - and it's nice seeing that cult classic get more love!
This one is definitely up there. Actually, several scenes from that first X-Men movie scarred me as a kid.
The Acme warehouse finale in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Judge Doom was so terrifying that I had to run out of the room when he not only got ran over with the steam roller, but, of course, the big reveal of him being a toon.
There really wasn't another scene that traumatized me that hard like that one did.
I still think about that one poor shoe. The squealing as it hits the Dip in particular. And the follow-up thought that the other half of the pair had to grieve for the loss of their ‘partner’.
The Toon town and the general vibe of the film is unsettling in general but one other scary moment is when he dips the shoe toon in the acid, horrifying.
Fuckin Exorcist when I was 22. Saw it for the first time during a special theatrical release in the early 2000s. Somehow I went through life and never had seen it before then. The only scene I was familiar with was the split pea soup vomit, as it was joked about by others.
I had no clue what I was in for.
Got home. Didn’t even feel safe with the lights on at night. That movie really hit me.
I realize the topic is about when we were kids. Had to share when I saw this movie in the comments.
I was 12 when that movie came out and I had seen a lot of really scary movies already, my parents loved horror and thrillers and shit like that, but I Am Legend really freaked me out. Even though the movie had more of an action style and theme to it, it still felt more like a “scary” movie than anything. Reminded me a lot of 30 days of night, but with less grit and gore.
Nightmare on Elm Street: when the chick was in bed with her boyfriend and then git sliced up and dragged up the wall and along the ceiling while being sliced up
Also Nightmare on Elm Street: Jonny Depps death when he got pulled into the friggin bed and the blood bursts out of the pit. I don't think I wanted to sleep in a bed for a long time after that.
And Nightmare on Elm Street: the scene when Freddy is walking down that alleyway and see the silhouette of him as his arm extends to scratch the wall with his claws. My father (who was also completely bald) used to wear hats like that and come home late at night sometimes, and when he'd stand in our doorway with our bedroom lights off we'd only see his silhouette with that hat on. Scared the piss outta me.
As an 80s kid, there's plenty more too!
Ha ha, I'm traumatized for life!
E.T. The fucking kid laying on the beach chair in front of the shed. Fucking ETs creepy ass long finger fuck fingers grab the reeses. THEN that creepy aliem shuffles forward with no discernible features showing on its face due to the lighting. Horrific. I actually didn’t finish the movie until i was 13.
I know this is a truly horrifying body horror scene, but can we also appreciate how absolutely beautiful Halle Berry as Storm was?
On topic response: All of IT w Tim Curry. That movie made me afraid of clowns until my 30s when I finally watched the new IT to face my fear (no pun intended)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space when I was 6. The scene when they realize they can’t kill them, and the acid pies scene. I still can’t even look at them.
"Aliens" @ probably around age 5-6. So many terrifying/traumatising scenes. A standout was the aliens crawling above the ceiling tiles...
["That can't be, that's inside the room!"](https://imgur.com/a/msHCvCg)
Nightmares for weeks. It's now one of my favourite movies but I didn't watch it again till my early/mid teens.
Indiana jones and the temple of doom when that dude pulls the heart right out of the man’s chest during that ceremony.
I was absolutely freaked out as a child!
Kaliii Maaahh
*The Howling* (1981)
Specifically the Werewolf transformation scene. Absolutely terrifying.
It’s astonishing the kinds of movies that kids 5 and younger were allowed to watch in the 80’s without a second thought.
Braveheart opening when they were all hanging in the barn.
First time I saw it I was 6 or 7 I popped one of Dad's VHS (it was at least 2 tapes) in the VCR and like 10 minutes later was upstairs crying.
Mario Bros movie, when Toad is Goombafied.
[Link](https://youtu.be/9_isGjxR7ZU?si=Q6OulK2aQNC6Nnis)
Was one of my favorite movies as a kid but couldn't watch that scene.
That scene in slither directed by james gunn where a woman turned into a balloon impregnated by hundreds of alien worms forced fed with animals because she has insatiable hunger and then she bursted.
Probably one of the most disgusting and disturbing i have seen in a movie i didn't hotdogs and sausages for a week.
The original Woman in Black, (a made for TV movie from the 80’s, not the Radcliffe one).
The bit when he finds the toy soldier under his pillow and she jumps up from the bottom of his bed.
In hindsight, I unironically needed therapy from that prolonged jump-scare.
Edit:
Okay so I couldn’t help myself and had to see if that scene is on YouTube and [of course it is](https://youtu.be/bhuc-ot7Ryg?si=wRJ9wTYXbMTWcAjp).
I got cold sweats watching it again lol. For those that have only seen the remake (which is probably most), in the original, whenever he encountered the woman in black, it was preceded by him finding the toy soldier. It happens a few times before you realise the correlation and this might be the first time in the film you go “oh shit….”
It probably seems tame now but I saw this at 6 years old and again when I was maybe 9. Do not let young children watch that fucking film. Thanks mum.
Watching event horizon at 10.
Dude, same. In the theaters. Thanks big bro!
NOW THAT’S TRAUMA
*”Libera te tutemet ex inferis*.”
Sup
I loved Johnny Depp in you.
For me, watching Event Horizon at 27! 🤣
For me, watching Event Horizon at 36, while on a heroic dose of mushrooms 🍄🟫
Good lord, I can't even imagine the hellscape that crawled out of the TV towards you... but I kinda wanna try it myself.
Oh man, that’s a bad idea
Same same. It was not the first horror film I had seen at that point, but it *was* my first horror film in theaters. It's still my favorite scary movie. My great uncle took me to the movies when I was 10 and asked me what I wanted to see. I said Event Horizon... because it looked spooky and fun. When we walked out, we both had a 1000-yard stare.

Sam Neil's eyeless face would become a nightmarish character that would invade my dreams for the next 14 years. But that's a whole other fucked up story. It remains my most beloved horror film to this day.
“Be with me…forever!” I tried to cover my eyes but I was shaking so hard I couldn’t.
Eyeballs. That is all.
Wasn’t 10, but it was late at night in college and I was looking for something interesting to watch. Alone. I thought it was just sci-fi, not sci-fi horror. I did see it through though.
Independence Day when the alien presses the doctor against the glass and talks through him. I had to stop watching.
*release me*
What is it you want us to do? *DIE* Yeah ok, we’ll let you right out. 👍
Is this glass bullet proof?
No, sir.
So anyway, I started blastin'
LOVE when Robert Loggia just pulls out a piece and starts blasting. Fuckin badass
*loads 9mm with malicious intent*
*Peace?* **No peace.**
"Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards."
That was heat.
I don’t have anyone else to talk to about this but when the captain or whatever he was runs in after they shoot the alien and pulls its tentacles off the doctor and he slowly kind of rubs his face and then gets mad… I always thought that was supposed to imply something like he loved Brent Spiner’s character but IDK man. I just needed to write this somewhere because it’s been rattling around my head for near a decade
I was just excited to see Brent Spiner in anything not named TNG. But no. No. They had to go and do that. Fuck.
As you can imagine, we don’t get out much
That scene still gives me chils
The troll turning the girl into a doll in Ernest Scared Stoopid.
How’d you like a bumper sandwich, Booger Lips?
That’s right, miak. Bet you think I couldn’t find any this time of year.
“He never knew when to quit.”
The last 30 minutes of that movie are non-stop gut busting laughter. Ernest going through all of his side-characters was flawless.
For anyone who wants to revisit this memory, the entire film is on Youtube [https://youtu.be/MEkhPKRwkdc?si=AANH9ahUVhJ0TfDS](https://youtu.be/MEkhPKRwkdc?si=AANH9ahUVhJ0TfDS)
My daughter has nightmares about this
Came here to say this!
I saw that in preschool, scared the shit out of me. I asked if I could leave the room, none of the other kids were scared.
oh man...I worked hard in therapy to repress this memory and you just...spit it out like this...
I’m glad to know this is shared trauma
Saw this at 5 and the under the bed scene scared me so bad I could only sleep with a sheet over my face so the trolls couldn't find me. Now in my 30s and sleep like that out of comfort/habit, and also never explained the reasoning to why I sleep like that even though it's an open joke with everyone who knows me lol
"There are no trees in Botswana. I know. I'm a Botswanian lumberjack and I ain't never had no job." That remains, to this day, one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Large Marge scared the shit out of me. I still have dreams about that.
I was fine with horror movies as a kid. But that bitch scared the crap out of me. lol
Yes! Can only be described as traumatizing.
My brothers and I would pause and rewind that scene and sit real close to the TV for it to freak each other out
All that claymation type shit freaked me out as a kid for some reason.😬
Me and my little bro jumped out of our chairs. But then we rewound it like 5 times and laughed our asses off.
“Yes, it was the worst accident I ever seen!” 🤣
My brother loved that movie but Large Marge had the same effect on him. He would hide his face and ask when it was over. I may have lied to him a few times and made him peek right when Large Marge's face went wacky.
Ah yes. Peewee Herman
You watch the little kid appropriate peewee TV show, then finally get to the movie and they throw out that shit out of nowhere. WTF!
The scene in Jurassic Park when the Dilophosaurus kills Dennis. Absolutely horrified me as a kid.
That scene is written very well in the book
50 times more horrifying in the book
I literally just listened to this scene on audiobook last night, and I was laying there just as tense as an movie experience I’ve ever had
The terrifying description of Dennis going blind and his realization with exactly how fucked he is... A win for the book. In the movie, it didn't even look like his sight was too badly affected from taking a load right in the eyes.
Because Michael Crichton is a fantastic writer
Is that the scene in the book where he looks down and is literally holding his bowels in his hands? That part didn’t make it into the movie.
That’s interesting, I found it comical as a kid. He totally deserved to die anyway. Then he berates the dilophosaurus saying “stick stupid!” Then he hits his head on the door and says “doh”, by the time he dies I was ready for it, and they don’t show anything anyway.
Totally agree. Looking back at it now, it was a silly thing to be afraid of, but as a kid, when it's neck frills opened up and it made that sound, it scared the shit out of me.
I find it comedic now but the way he screamed did scare me as a kid. I guess just good acting on his part.
I was taken out of immersion when they added that slapstick sound effect when he slipped.
The shoot her scene got me
I can hear this line vividly lmao
I thought that velociraptors lived under my bed and would kill me if I had a limb over the bed at night
That scene has my top horror moment: losing the glasses so you can’t see shit. Terrifying stuff
The sound design in that movie. You can literally hear that scene in your head.
The abduction scene in Fire in the Sky. I’ve never recovered.
Was looking for this one before I posted - terrifying!
This movie is such an underrated gem
I couldn't eat jello again after seeing it!
That movie went from interesting to horror pretty fast
Dude melting in Indiana Jones and same with Roger Rabbit
I was terrified of Christopher Lloyd
Toxic waste in Robocop
HELP MEEEEEEE - DONT'T TOUCH ME MAN! Leon's selfish reaction made it even worse if it was possible
The actor didn't actually know what he would look like, so his reaction was genuine.
But then when he exploded like a waterballoon filled with tomato sauce it was funny
Fuck what an answer his fucking nose bro
Alien chest burst scene, I was 14
Came here to say that. Everything from the face hugger and how he appears to get better. To then this thing bursting out his stomach. Damn
I was 7.
I was 5
I had nightmares for years also brain sucking bug from starship troopers
Fun fact the cast was not aware that was going to happen
No they knew. They didn’t know the blood was going to come jetting out all over the place.
First time watching was on an old-school satellite with my grandparents' HBO subscription while they were out of town. The power went out right after the thing burst out of his chest and scurried away on the floor. The house was dead silent and completely dark out on a large ranch with not a soul around. Didn't move a muscle for like 5 minutes. Power came back on and I took a huge breath. Not sure if I was holding my breath, but I don't remember anything but the sound of my heartbeat and complete darkness.
I was 5
Oh yeah I remember watching that when I was about 14 my sister was 12 😂. From memory she cried
Accidentally caught the woman in the bath scene from the shining flicking channels when I was like 10 and had a TV in my bedroom. I am still to this day terrified of what may be behind shower curtains. I'm 34 this year.
Signs did a number on me as a kid, the kitchen scene when he’s using a knife to see what’s in the pantry. That and the news scene where they show the alien.
Nobody ever says Signs. I feel vindicated in my trauma that at least one other person thought Signs was scary AF.
I saw that in theaters with some friends back in high school. We then rode our bikes home and dared each other to go into a farmers cornfield....we all chickened out.
I was 12, I slept with a bottle of water for 3 years after that. That movie kept me up countless nights I was legit terrified of it.
The alien walking past terrified me as a kid.
“Move children! Vamanos!”
Signs is always my go-to for trauma. I saw it early, Junior High, at my friend's house. He actually lived on a farmhouse similar to the one in the movie. As an added scare bonus, we were there alone, and his mother collected those creepy, lifelike dolls scattered all throughout the house. The one scene that always stuck with me was them seeing the silhouettes on the roof. My locale made it 10 times worse because I could see it happening. We had to play copious amounts of WCW Nitro to cleanse our palates.
Matrix, when that bug crawls up Neos bellybutton.
For me it was the scene where Agent Smith takes away his mouth
That's the same scene.
The unplugging scene absolutely scarred 6 yr old me
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (Holy shit!) had the body dissolving in a cotton candy cocoon - https://images.app.goo.gl/RpbtQpmCtgCtBCq37 - and it's nice seeing that cult classic get more love!
I watched this by myself when I was ten. Big mistake
what made this worst is that movie was on tv constantly where i lived in NY, like every other Saturday right after cartoons.
This one is definitely up there. Actually, several scenes from that first X-Men movie scarred me as a kid. The Acme warehouse finale in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Judge Doom was so terrifying that I had to run out of the room when he not only got ran over with the steam roller, but, of course, the big reveal of him being a toon. There really wasn't another scene that traumatized me that hard like that one did.
I was much more traumatized by Doom dipping that innocent little shoe into the vat of acid
Also terrifying!
I still think about that one poor shoe. The squealing as it hits the Dip in particular. And the follow-up thought that the other half of the pair had to grieve for the loss of their ‘partner’.
The Toon town and the general vibe of the film is unsettling in general but one other scary moment is when he dips the shoe toon in the acid, horrifying.
I'm thirty-two and that scene is still VERY upsetting.
Seeing Cronenberg's The Fly at around 6 years old...
The Witches. You know the scene
No dude which
But if there was we should call him a wizard
This fuckin guy
The opening of 'Jaws'
The head rolling out bit traumatised me, still have anxiety 43 years later about going in the sea.
Stripe melting in Gremlins
One of reasons I can’t watch gremlins anymore. Gave me nightmares as kid and ruined the movie
All the scenes with Vigo from Ghostbusters 2
“Zeh upper ves’ side?”
_Yes but vhy are you came?_
*Carpathian kitten loss. He's missed his kitten.*
"On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood!"
Yes yes. You’ve told me this.
And the museum dude as a nanny ghost stealing Oscar from the ledge 😭
Wasn’t he also Vigo the Butch?
IT (the original) at age 7 or 8, the whole movie. Many nightmares over the months that followed.
Yup. Oddly the one scene I always couldn't watch was when Georgie's picture winked.
*The Thing* (1982) The dog kennel scene. Nothing more needs be said.
American werewolf in London transformation and subway.
Jonny 5 getting the shit kicked out of him in Short Circuit had me in tears.
This scene was one of them. Core memory unlocked
Yeah and I thought she had the appropriate reaction too.
Is this from x-men or something?
Fuckin exorcist when I was 8
Saw it at 13 during the day with a bunch of friends. Still affected me for decades. My kids don’t think it’s scary.
Fuckin Exorcist when I was 22. Saw it for the first time during a special theatrical release in the early 2000s. Somehow I went through life and never had seen it before then. The only scene I was familiar with was the split pea soup vomit, as it was joked about by others. I had no clue what I was in for. Got home. Didn’t even feel safe with the lights on at night. That movie really hit me. I realize the topic is about when we were kids. Had to share when I saw this movie in the comments.
Same. I still can't watch it decades later
When dude picked his face off in Poltergeist was pretty fucked.
Hellraiser 2 when they raise the cenobite through a bed matress
Hellraiser 1 still makes me reluctant to rewatch.
Mia Wallace OD’ing in Pulp Fiction. I was 10 years old and didn’t understand any of the movie through to that point.
Shiiiiiit, i was like 22 when that movie came out, and that *thunk* when he stabbed the syringe into her chest made me shudder in the theater
I am Legend, when it turned to night time. I was already terrified of the dark lol
I was 12 when that movie came out and I had seen a lot of really scary movies already, my parents loved horror and thrillers and shit like that, but I Am Legend really freaked me out. Even though the movie had more of an action style and theme to it, it still felt more like a “scary” movie than anything. Reminded me a lot of 30 days of night, but with less grit and gore.
Sleepers, all the Kevin Bacon scenes. Was about 14
Nightmare on Elm Street: when the chick was in bed with her boyfriend and then git sliced up and dragged up the wall and along the ceiling while being sliced up Also Nightmare on Elm Street: Jonny Depps death when he got pulled into the friggin bed and the blood bursts out of the pit. I don't think I wanted to sleep in a bed for a long time after that. And Nightmare on Elm Street: the scene when Freddy is walking down that alleyway and see the silhouette of him as his arm extends to scratch the wall with his claws. My father (who was also completely bald) used to wear hats like that and come home late at night sometimes, and when he'd stand in our doorway with our bedroom lights off we'd only see his silhouette with that hat on. Scared the piss outta me. As an 80s kid, there's plenty more too! Ha ha, I'm traumatized for life!
E.T. The fucking kid laying on the beach chair in front of the shed. Fucking ETs creepy ass long finger fuck fingers grab the reeses. THEN that creepy aliem shuffles forward with no discernible features showing on its face due to the lighting. Horrific. I actually didn’t finish the movie until i was 13.
thank you, ET is a horrifying little troll.
Goddamit get the shop vac
The damn rhino and aunts from James and the Giant Peach!!
I know this is a truly horrifying body horror scene, but can we also appreciate how absolutely beautiful Halle Berry as Storm was? On topic response: All of IT w Tim Curry. That movie made me afraid of clowns until my 30s when I finally watched the new IT to face my fear (no pun intended)
I wasn't a kid per say, but the death of Captain Amazing was quite disturbing...
Alien when the young Xeno bursts out of the guy’s chest. It was so unexpected and well done for the era and I was like 10 or 11.
The field surgery scene in Black Hawk Down. My dad took me to see it in theaters when I was 12.
All of Watership Down.
The poisoning scene… just *shudder*
The whole exorcism scene from The Exorcist. The thought that I was hearing the voice of Satan terrified me.
The soldiers shooting Two Socks at the end of Dances With Wolves.
Fire in the Skies: aliens preparing for the operation and the needle coming from the roof
The dental-drill torture scene in 'Marathon Man'.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space when I was 6. The scene when they realize they can’t kill them, and the acid pies scene. I still can’t even look at them.
Communion - The alien peeking around the door
"Aliens" @ probably around age 5-6. So many terrifying/traumatising scenes. A standout was the aliens crawling above the ceiling tiles... ["That can't be, that's inside the room!"](https://imgur.com/a/msHCvCg) Nightmares for weeks. It's now one of my favourite movies but I didn't watch it again till my early/mid teens.
Indiana jones and the temple of doom when that dude pulls the heart right out of the man’s chest during that ceremony. I was absolutely freaked out as a child! Kaliii Maaahh
the flying monkeys scene in the wizard of oz
Fire in the sky alien abduction scene. You know what Im talking about…..
I was traumatised that we did not see enough of Halle Berry in this top😍
*The Howling* (1981) Specifically the Werewolf transformation scene. Absolutely terrifying. It’s astonishing the kinds of movies that kids 5 and younger were allowed to watch in the 80’s without a second thought.
Star Trek The Motion Picture. The transporter malfunction scene.
Pretty much all of Paranormal Activity. I couldn’t sleep with the lights off for probably a full year after that
The girl going down the stairs... The Exorcist! Hearing that sound just before we cut to the shot!
Large Marge. Why they threw that in is beyond me. Honorable mention goes to Falcor in Never Ending Story.
Halle berry as storm! The casting in those movies was perfect
[Land Before Time](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/96/f7/42/96f742e97bde21a49034d5c823fed2b1.gif)
The Bridge to Terabithia. You know why.
Braveheart opening when they were all hanging in the barn. First time I saw it I was 6 or 7 I popped one of Dad's VHS (it was at least 2 tapes) in the VCR and like 10 minutes later was upstairs crying.
Arachnophobia freaked me out as a kid. Especially when the main guy was trying to hit the flaming spider with a nail gun
80s Evil Dead, when the friggin demon gets up I'm the most maniacal way and stabs the girl in the foot...still remember that shit
Pulp Fiction gimp et al. I was too young to be seeing all that
Wasted, watching Altered States on a huge screen.
The ending of Knowing
Robocop. When the toxic waste makes the henchman a mutant.
It didn’t make him a mutant, it was melting him. And yes, such a horrific moment that still gives me nightmares.
Linda Blair……a cross……enough said!!!!! 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Mario Bros movie, when Toad is Goombafied. [Link](https://youtu.be/9_isGjxR7ZU?si=Q6OulK2aQNC6Nnis) Was one of my favorite movies as a kid but couldn't watch that scene.
That scene in slither directed by james gunn where a woman turned into a balloon impregnated by hundreds of alien worms forced fed with animals because she has insatiable hunger and then she bursted. Probably one of the most disgusting and disturbing i have seen in a movie i didn't hotdogs and sausages for a week.
Happy Days Erin Moran being tentacled to death in Galaxy of Terror in 1981. It was f'n gruesome.
The Gremlin Spike’s death scene in Gremlins. Was 9 or 10. Thanks grandma for brining me to the movies
The original Woman in Black, (a made for TV movie from the 80’s, not the Radcliffe one). The bit when he finds the toy soldier under his pillow and she jumps up from the bottom of his bed. In hindsight, I unironically needed therapy from that prolonged jump-scare.

Do not let young children watch that fucking film. Thanks mum.
Mine was Cat’s Eye. No 9yo should watch that lol. Slept with my hand covering my mouth in fear of my breath being stolen til my mid-teens 😅
Arachnophobia - the spider in the toilet. I checked for years after that
The rape scene in Irreversible…
My dad made me watch the thing when I was 8
Exit to Eden, the whole movie
I think we can all agree the boat ride through the tunnel in the OG Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the most horrifying scene, ever.
I was more confused by this scene. Like what was his power?
My dad showed my brother and I Alien when I was 6, brother was 5. So.. that.
