I remember when I was in elementary school (around 8) my parents wanted to show my sister and I the movie Little Shop of Horrors.



I had nightmares for a few days, and I still don't like the deku baba enemies in LoZ. Those things just freak me out.

I never saw Watership Down, but I would like to someday. Glad I didn't know about it as a kid though, because from all of the pictures and clips I've seen of it...it definitely would've traumatized me for life.

I managed to escape Watership Down. My younger sister and I (11 and 4 at the time) only saw the first few minutes before I had to leave to go somewhere. I don't know if she finished watching it. I'll have to ask her if she remembers.

Not a movie, but there was a toilet bowl cleaner commercial in the mid to late eighties where the toilet mutates into a monster. My potty training took way longer than it should have because of it, lol. Supposedly they took it off the air because of parents calling and complaining about it.

Jurassic Park had amazingly convincing dinosaurs in it. May it be the raptors in the kitchen, the fat guy getting blinded, then a few scenes later eaten on the toilet... I really didn't want to meet one of these creatures.

Independence Day. Ugh. Those aliens that messed up those scientists in the lab were pretty scary to younger me.

Too bad the "Velociraptors" in the movie weren't even Velociraptors.

Yup, they were Deinonychus. A mistake made by Michael Crichton after reading a dinosaur classification book written by a man who was at odds with his contemporary paleontologists. He grouped them together as the same dinosaur - given the choice between the two names, it's no wonder Velociraptor was picked.

If you wanna talk about creepy dinosaurs, check out this pre-vis of the raptor kitchen scene in Jurassic Park done in stop motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLceoQGfK-c

It's an unbelievable amount of effort for something which nobody except the staff on the movie would see.

I watched Watership down as a kid and it didn't scare me at all. Neither did Jurassic park. But that's probably because I was busy watching films like Aliens, Nightmare on Elm Street and Terminator. (They all gave me nightmares)

Another "games are scary"

The game over screen for the Donkey Kong Country games always super-unnerved me as a kid. Game Over in Super Mario World? Eh no biggie what a bummer. Game Over in Donkey Kong Country? TURN THAT SHIT OFF AND LEAVE THE ROOM GLURGH

Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit was freaky as hell though. Yeesh.

Oh gawsh, this 2X.

That used to freak me out so bad for no reason when I was a kid. Second Country not as bad, but the first. Goodbye television.

Childs Play. The most sinter script writer turned something innocent to my worst nightmare that I'm glad never came true?

I only watched this when I was an early teen, but I think this still counts, right?

You know the first live action Scooby-Doo film? When the gang went to the Spooky Castle attraction and someone turned the thing on, what happened next freaked me out for years. The evil clown cars started tumbling down the track to push the gan to thier doom, mini clowns on scythe pendulums began swinging about, Fred was about to get impaled by a spiky door, the food came to life in the dining hall and tried to eat Shaggy and Scooby (with the turkeys getting these large mouths on top that had sausage tentacles coming out), and the horrible monolog of what I think is from the clowns is all very unsettling to me.

I really have no idea which movie might have scared me as a kid...

yeah speaking of scooby doo movies

there was a live action movie that came out in 2002 i think


and this bitch scared the hell out of me

Believe it or not, Lexou, that guy came from the same Scooby-Doo film with that Sppoky Castle ride I mentioned earlier.

If I had to run into either that creep or one of the the clowns from the ride in a dark alley, I'd go with the ghost guy due to his lack of pointy nose and sharp teeth.
