My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.

    The Gate I think I was 7-10 at the time? I don’t know how I stumbled on it flipping channels on the TV, but I’d did and it scared me.

    Today? It’s so horribly bad it’s laughable.

      Oh man, my oldest brother put this on when our parents were out and all I remember is being terrified of the eyeball in the guy’s palm at some point. Probably my first experience with body horror.
