There's a shitty horror flick called The Hand from the early eighties. Michael Caine is in it, hamming it for the paycheck I suppose but still kinda cool even if the movie is pretty bad. Anyway, there's a terrible effects shot of the titular crawling hand pushing its way through the plumbing in a shower, and I still sometimes have nightmares of that scene decades later. 5 year old me was not ready.
Saturday Night Fever. At the theater. With both my parents. Not even in middle school, by a few years.
Terminator 2. I saw it when I was 6 or 7 when it came out on vhs. I didnโt want to watch kids movies ever again after that. It was fucking awesome. As far as scarring me, none, people in my elementary school were watching Faces of Death.
Aliens 3
The Green Mile
I think I was like 10
Reptilicus
Edward Scissorhands.
Don't know why. And I didn't even see it for that long, but something about the makeup, music, general ambiance, the scene when he's offered normal hands, it affected my child self profoundly. To this day, I can't watch the movie without feeling very anxious. My partner has tried to watch it with me a couple of times and I just can't.
Arachnophobia
The tanning booth scene from Final Destination really messed me up for a while.
Kingdom of the Spiders
I don't know how old we all were, but I joined some kids older than me watch Resident Evil. It was okay until the laser corridor scene. Haunted me for years.
There are many other movie scenes of that nature that stuck with me. Guy getting eaten by shark. Guy losing a leg in rescue attempt. Guy getting violently whacked by piece of cable. Guy losing his hand by confronting his father. Except for the last one I do not recall any of these movies titles or overall story lol
