For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.
My cousins made me watch John Carpenter’s The Thing when I was eight years old. Assholes.
The movie Saturday the 14th also messed me up for a while, what with the Creature from the Black Lagoon getting into someone’s bathtub through the drain pipes. It may be silly dreck, but it was a bit much for a five year old.
John Carpenter’s The Thing. I wouldn’t go down to the basement by myself for like three months.
Still one of my favorite movies.
Raiders of the Lost Ark. 12 year old me had a great time with that movie until people startet to melt…
House of wax (1953). Invasion of the body snatchers (1956 and 1978).
Mars Attacks when I was 6. My parents had the brilliant idea to take me to see it at a drive-in, so larger than life screen, and it was the second film, so I think they probably figured I’d fall asleep and they could stay and watch. Nope. Pretty sure I didn’t sleep for weeks.
Poltergeist. Fucked me up around static for the rest of my life.
Cats Eye
Blair witch project. I really thought it was real founded footage
