For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.

I remember when I has a kid my dad was Watching "Pink Floyd The Wall" and the scene where the kids walked on an assembly line to become sausages scared me a lot. It became kind of a misterious movie to me because the melody was kids popular and I could remember how dark that sensation was.

Many years later I started listening to Pink Floyd and watched the entire movie. I still love it.

Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.

Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U

I watched The Ring and The Grudge when I was 12. I had trouble sleeping for the next year or two because I kept imagining I could see Kayako watching me from the ceiling of my closet, and slept with the TV on because it scared me less than the blank screen.

I was not a smart child.

Fire in the Sky. It's about an alien abduction and the dude has PTSD and flashbacks throughout. Ruined maple syrup for me for a long time.

Threads (1984). Still one of the most realistically possibje horror films ever made. The BBC banned its re-airing for 40 years due to being too disturbing.

Even in a post about movies, I can't escape the talk about Threads! /s

When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don't love them.

The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max's dream...those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.

The Ring was a big one because my "friend" called and did the whole "seven days..." thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.

Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.
