Event Horizon
i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later
One of my dad’s favorite movies. We would run through the den on the way to kitchen whenever he had it on. Definitely gave me nightmares at age 10 and for years afterwards.
Hell yeah brother
Grave of the Fireflies. I was around 24 years old.
Watership Down as a really young kid.
Schindler’s List as a young teen.
Schindler’s list at 7 years old
Just seeing pictures of Freddy Krueger in the TV timetable magazine (whatever do you call those?) scarred me for life and had me imagining him under my bed.

My parent’s sex tape that I watched last year.
I too was traumatized by watching SatansMaggotyCumFart’s parent’s sex tape.
I have no idea why I bought it, and even less idea why SatansMaggotyCumFart would release it.
I think the third time I watched was the worse viewing.
My 3rd watch was bad too. You finally get over the shock factor and can really focus in on the details then.
My wife made me stop at two viewings. I’ll tell her we have to push through.
I still feel bad for those horses
Hey! Spoilers!
My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that “Pulp Fiction” was on, decided to watch it because he “heard it was pretty good”.
It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn’t turn it off sooner 🤷🏻
I bet you were pretty fucking far from OK eh?
Bad taste. My brother got a copy but didn’t let me watch, so I waited until he was out before I put it on.
I can still remember the guy putting his brains back in his head and carrying on.
Then I heard the director was making some fantasy movies and lost respect for him.
Yeah those fantasy movies definitely tanked his career
The Green Mile
I think I was like 10
American History X. Curb stomping was a lot for 13 year old me to process.
This is gunna sound stupid, but “Tales from the Hood.” At the end of that movie, where you learned all the guys are already dead, in hell and the guy telling the stories is satan just scared the absolute shit outta me.
A Nightmare on Elm Street.
I was 8, my Mom said I wasn’t allowed to watch it. I watched it at a friend’s house.
I was so sure that night that Freddy was going to grab me through the bed like he did to Johnny Depp that I went to my Mom in her room and admitted to her that I watched it then promptly vomited on her due to the accumulated fear.
My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind’s eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called “Faces of Death” and a movie called “Pink Flamingos”. Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn’t seem as bad as I remembered, but it’s not a great scene to have stuck in your head…
Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.
Saving private Ryan at ten years old.
“Akira” when I was 10-ish. Wanted to check what this anime thing was about, was not prepared for nuclear blasts, and people becoming giant body-horror amoebas. Still, it was a good intro into anime, along with Dominion Tank Police (another hilariously not-for-10-year-olds number). And set the bar way too high for most other ones I watched later.
So…yeah, I was watching Tales from the Crypt when I was like 9.
it’s 5 years to late for a sane person.
