Idk the movie but it was late 80s or early 90s, there was a guy with his head in a TV screen, which was on and had the image of a woman's mouth eating the head. Fucked me up for years as a kid because I had no context.
Watership Down.
Same. I must have watched it when I was in early primary school. Still hold the image of bloodied rabbits tearing and clawing at each other. WTF was that about?
Total Recall freaked me out pretty good and I saw it when I was like 32
come and see, i think that main actor might also have got haunted by it
The Day After
I ain't been nuked yet, but you never know...
Life of Brian
Gremlins
I recently showed this movie to someone and I didn’t remember it being that scary/gory! This is some crazy PG movie lol

Aliens 3
The last unicorn. That red bull gave me the creeps for months
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.
Idk what it was called but there was a movie where a group of people got trapped in a flooded underpass that I watched at 7 or so that gave me recurring nightmares for years.
Also I saw Munich in theaters when I was 13 because my mom thought it would be an informative historical film and we ended up having to sneak out (I’ve only left a movie once since then! Some terrible christmas comedy).
Was the movie Daylight (1996)?
I think that might be it!

Poltergeist, I was like 6
Fire in the Sky. Still haven’t rewatched it decades later.
Scary movie
I don't know the name and it was only one scene I saw passing by, something about giant spiders, and one dude was getting into the car to escape and a spider was inside waiting. It probably was in the second half of the 90s and it was on TV, so probably released in late 80s or early 90s. And I don't think it's arachnophobia, at least I haven't seen any scene that reminds me of my memory.
I've had phobia to spiders ever since.
If we consider watching the full movie, it did haunt me for so long and I still remember it with dread, critters. Fucking hate those puppets they used.

Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.
Spaceballs
...why?
Not entirely sure. "Haunts" is a little generous tbh, just kinda weird and fever-dreamy for a very young me.
The Exorcist
Kingdom of the Spiders
I got taken to see The Sixth Sense when I was like 10 lol
Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal.
The tanning booth scene from Final Destination really messed me up for a while.
Grizzly. Couldn't sleep the night I saw that one
Saturday Night Fever. At the theater. With both my parents. Not even in middle school, by a few years.
