My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.
It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.
I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.
Candyman. I couldn’t even look in a mirror for weeks.
Big Boob Nurses 17
Night Shift Nurses with Detso Ritter the man who wrestles himself.
My parents told me that I could watch any movie in theatres for my 13th birthday. I didn’t know anything about it and picked The Devil’s Advocate. They took me, my older brother, and my two younger brothers.
On the way home they yelled at me for picking an inappropriate movie.
I never saw it, what makes the movie inappropriate?
Probably age related.
My parents were super strict. I was at a buddy’s house when Terminator 2 first came to VHS and we watched it. I was probably around 11. Having not really seen anything like that, it definitely impacted me for a while. Then again, I was already having nightmares most nights by then anyway.
I was probably 11 or 12 when we got it on VHS. My sister was 9 or 10. We were huge Swarzenegger fans and were used to him being the good guy. Twins and Kindergarten Cop were rewatched multiple times. T2 was our first R rated movie. We didn’t watch Terminator prior, though my parents did as it had been on TV (broadcast tv, censored) and they were eager to see it too.
Anyway, after it finished, I chased my sister around the house pointing my finger at her which freaked her out and got me yelled at. Fun times
Starship trooper when I was still in kindergarten. The only thing I remember from this movie is the scene where the bug drills a hole in the soldiers head to drink his brain. Don’t plan to watch this movie ever again in my life
Shame. It’s a great film
would you like to know more?
I was a little older, like 3rd grade, but same. Nightmares about being overrun by bug hordes for months and months.
Jaws. Watched it when I was about 8. Now in my 40s and still don’t like being in open water or sea where I can’t see the bottom… I know what’s down there…
Same movie, same age, same irrational thoughts in water!
I live 3hrs from the coast and even swimming in a crystal clear fresh water river, it’s still in the back of my mind as an adult, as I kid, I wouldn’t even swim a alone in our pool!
I dunno what the movie was called, I was 7 and had fallen asleep in front of the TV. When I woke up there two ‘grey’ aliens of in hindsight terrible costumes crouching in some bushes.
I had never seen a depiction of a grey alien before that and my uncanny valley sensor peaked higher than ever at any other point in my life and I ran to my room without even shutting off the tv.
It’s funny to look back and remember that as a moment of legit fear, knowing what I do now.
Stephen King’s IT from behind the couch.
How I didn’t develop a lifelong fear of clowns I have no idea.
Back door sluts 9
Back Door Sluts 9?‽! Not that one!
Alien when I was about 4. That’s what happens when you make an uncle who is still in high school babysit.
Dad allowed me to watch Species. Had to sleep in my parents’ bed that night. Mom was FURIOUS :D
I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but I saw Akira when I was four and my brother was three. Our dad picked it out because “animation is for children”.
I can’t remember much of it but it left me with a deep distate for body horror and nightmares for literal weeks.
I wasn’t that young, maybe 8 but that movie still fucked me up. The hospital scene with the stuffed animals coming alive and breaking apart was and is super scary.
Ninja Scroll for me, my dad let me rent it when I was very young and I was like “holy heck what is this”
The Brave Little Toaster. I loved that movie cause what little kid doesn’t want to watch a bunch of singing appliances? It’s actually a really good movie but the themes about existential crisis and the need for purpose are way over a kids head. Also, the clown scene gave me nightmares.
The blanket was my favorite character
“I once ran the Indy 500. I must confess I’m impressed how I did it I wonder how close that I came.”
“WORTHLESS!!”
Chucky, and I was quite young maybe 6 or 8? I had nightmares about that fucking doll for years after.
run
The fucking magnet in the junkyard scared me so much
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
I couldn’t sleep…
Same. And eggplants scared the hell out of me after seeing that. I guess they looked enough like the things the aliens came out of.
I watched Borat with my dad when I was 9.
