I slept over at a friend's house, and we watched The Shining when I was 12. Still haunts me to this day, and I've never re-watched it since.

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

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.

"Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte". In my defense, I was about 6 years old when I saw it.

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.

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.

The scarab scene in The Mummy

Doctor Who.

are you my mummy?

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Event Horizon

i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later

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.

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

I was 4 and my grandma was visiting and was supposed to look after me while my parents went out. They gave her the VHS of the first Terminator. I snuck into the living room and watched a bunch of it without her noticing. Afterwards, all the toy robots had to be taken out of my room because ‘the man with the red eye took his eye out’. My parents were then able to put one and one together.

Nowadays one of my favorite movies, tbh.

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.

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.

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

Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Damn you, Large Marge!

The Never Ending Story. I was 28. Still shaken a couple decades later.

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.

My parents had the Killer Klowns from Outer Space VHS and I was too scared to watch it as a kid. It wasn't until my mid 20s I actually got to watch it and realize its very much a comedy and not scary at all.

The Truman show

So much existential dread

Birds.. 30+ years later I'm still always a bit creeped out by them, especially sea gulls.

The Fly

The Brave Little Toaster.

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

Reptilicus

Watership Down as a really young kid.

Schindler's List as a young teen.

Oh and The Shining at the time (11 y/o home alone) really messed me up as well.

Underworld

I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me

Also, girls in leather

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 🤷🏻
