Exactly the same! I saw it when I was 8. Also the original Resident Evil movie.

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.

The Horror Show. That's when I decided it wasn't a good idea to watch unlabled VHS tapes from the basement.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Hannah Montana-specifically an Halloween episode referencing murderous puppets

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.

Candyman.

Holy fucking shit, saw it when I was maybe ten years old. I didn’t go into a bathroom for weeks after that, I peed outside against a wall. There was absolutely no way I was going in any room with a mirror.

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.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

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 Screaming Woman when I was 7. About a woman buried alive.

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.

spoilerThe suffocation scene is the one that stands out.

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Gigi. I loved back when I was a little girl (“leeetle girrrrl”), but rewatching as an adult I was HORRIFIED.

[–] dumbass@toast.ooo 2 points 7 months ago

The Icecream Man. I had never watched a proper horror movie before, I was scared of the icecream van coming around for ages.

Ugh Gremlins got me for sure. So did Ernest Scared Stupid, oddly enough. That fuckin troll…

But Gremlins for sure. Jesus.

Deliverance.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Hereditary. I’m old and I still insist I am too young to watch it.
