Gigi. I loved back when I was a little girl (“leeetle girrrrl”), but rewatching as an adult I was HORRIFIED.
From dusk till dawn
I joined my older brother when we was watching the zero boys on VHS.
I would have been around seven at the time and some scenes were a little too much.
spoiler
The suffocation scene is the one that stands out.
Nothing probably haunts me to this day but there were some horror anthology series that were pretty harsh when I was little. I also vaguely remember a movie about some creepy doll. I don't think it's Child's Play, but just about any creepy doll would do, though.
gremlins and thriller.
Ugh Gremlins got me for sure. So did Ernest Scared Stupid, oddly enough. That fuckin troll…
But Gremlins for sure. Jesus.
Exactly the same! I saw it when I was 8. Also the original Resident Evil movie.
Deliverance.
Return to Oz.
DoooooorrrRRRRRRRRTHHYYYYY GAAAAAALLLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
There is a fair bit of mental illness in the family, the early asylum scenes hit a bit too close to home for 5 year old me.
Hereditary. I’m old and I still insist I am too young to watch it.
Not a movie but a series... The highway men or something like that. Sort of a mad max inspired series about guys in a truck and one of the trucks could become a helicopter or something? I think it failed after one season.
Anyway, there was an episode where a UFO crashed, the guy had to transport the pilot alien in his trailer and he had a camera in there and the alien, covered by plastic, sat upright.
Didn't sleep for weeks, still haunts me 40 years later
The Icecream Man. I had never watched a proper horror movie before, I was scared of the icecream van coming around for ages.
Felidae
Or whatever the animated movie featuring a gory cat detective story was called.
If you love this planet.
A short documentary about nuclear war. Saw it when I was about 12, images that last a life time.
The Horror Show. That's when I decided it wasn't a good idea to watch unlabled VHS tapes from the basement.
Hannah Montana-specifically an Halloween episode referencing murderous puppets
