This is gunna sound stupid, but "Tales from the Hood." At the end of that movie, where you learned all the guys are already dead, in hell and the guy telling the stories is satan just scared the absolute shit outta me.

Final destination

Saw

American History X. Curb stomping was a lot for 13 year old me to process.

Tons of horror movies.

Bridge to terrabithia

Wasn't really to young but didn't know what to expect and got emotionally crushed by accident. Just heard it was a good movie and put it on one evening.

My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind's eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called "Faces of Death" and a movie called "Pink Flamingos". Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn't seem as bad as I remembered, but it's not a great scene to have stuck in your head...

Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.

Event Horizon. I saw the first half as part of the second half of a double feature at the drive-in theater with my family. I think Men in Black was the first feature. I was 9 when I saw that topless dead woman scene. It's such an underrated movie.

The Exorcist. I was about 8 years old. It was on tv one Saturday night. At church the next morning I had a bunch of questions and needed some consoling.

Nothing But Trouble

Threads, not a good movie for 5 year olds.

Not exactly a movie, but a cartoon series.

It was that episode of Power Puff Girls where they went to a dystopic future and everything was a hellscape dominated by Him. That episode made me think about my mortality and future regrets.

A hokey 80s movie called "The Guardian". Its not scary at all but there was a tree with a face on it, and it hit me at the right age and scared the bejesus out of me for some reason. I don't think I understood the plot at the time, just scary tree face.

The trailer for Aliens was my introduction to the notion that maybe monsters could get through locked doors!

As an adult, it's one of my all-time favourites.

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 Mangler. It's a B horror movie and some of the graphics, which I won't spoil, were more than my 7 year old brain could reconcile.

Saving private Ryan at ten years old.

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.

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.

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.

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.

E. T.

I don't care that it was rated P. G., they killed my friend and I was just as sad as Elliot. The tubes and the quarantine were absolutely terrifying to me as a child and even seeing clips nowadays gives sends a shiver down my spine. Just sadness and fear.

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.

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.

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.
