Tons of horror movies.

Fire in the sky. Alien abduction still freak me out

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

Total Recall freaked me out pretty good and I saw it when I was like 32

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

Spaceballs

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.

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.

Nothing But Trouble

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The Thin Red Line

Grizzly. Couldn't sleep the night I saw that one

Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal.

I got taken to see The Sixth Sense when I was like 10 lol

The Exorcist

Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.

Poltergeist 2 - specifically the braces scene, I was terrified of getting them. Oddly enough, I was fine with the first one.

That super creepy Alice in Wonderland version from around the same time that I always forget the name of.

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

Kids, the movie from the mid 90s where a New York teen is trying to bang virgins and spreading HIV. Freaked me out.

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.

Moontrap

My Girl. I have a fear of bees because of that movie.

Saving private Ryan at ten years old.
