Threads, not a good movie for 5 year olds.
I saw that for the first time last year, and I can tell you that it’s bloody disturbing to a 44 year old too.
The Fly
hahah same ! must have been 5 or so. I distinctly remember a woman entering the appartment/lab and Goldblum going “hi, whatsername” while all glued to the ceiling like a proto-fly. These two seconds have been chasing me for thirty years.
Same here. 🤮😵💫
The Truman show
So much existential dread
Spaceballs
…why?
Not entirely sure. “Haunts” is a little generous tbh, just kinda weird and fever-dreamy for a very young me.
Saw Robocop when I was six. Murphy getting his arm blown to bits haunted me for years… Until I saw Red Foreman years later, then I was ok
Same. Emil getting doused in toxic waste still haunts me.
I was 17 when I saw the shotgun-to-the-hand scene and it freaked me the fuck out.
Life of Brian
Jurrassic Park
Glad to see I’m not alone. I seen the movie when I was about 4 and had nightmares of raptors for two decades.
The Shining
Yeah, that movie is legit creepy as fuck.
It’s a really good surreal kind of creepiness towards the end that I can definitely see having an impact on a kid. Stanley Kubrick was great.
Jaws.
Titanic.
I now fear most bodies of water.
Jaws is a lesson about the shark’s house
:D
I hadn’t seen that one–funny. Seriously, though, Jaws is about human greed/unethical behavior and relationships. I consider it a drama more than a creature feature.
Jaws was scary because of shark.
Titanic was scary because of iceberg.
Water did nothing wrong.
Water did nothing wrong.
What do you think icebergs are made of?
Ice, duh. It was planted by the CIA, anyway.
Wow, I never knew the CIA faked building the Titanic.
sharks ?
Nope. I’m afraid of it. And it’s 2025 so that means we ban it. No more water!
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.
Tv Guide
As a too young kid I saw the scene of him grabbing the boy and pulling him inside the bed and then blood sprayed out of the bed. And uh… 40 years later it still affects me. Yeah, don’t show that stuff to kids, people! It does affect them even though they’ll never talk about it!
The Thing
Poltergeist
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!
Underworld
I was like 8. Scared the shit out of me
Also, girls in leather
Sometimes I wonder if seeing the Masked Magician as a child was a stepping stone to my interest in women. I’ve rewatched clips of it as an adult. Why was it so horny? As a kid I remember cool magic tricks. But like… Why the industrial BDSM looking sets and constant comments about the women’s bodies? I guess that was just more “normal” then. But then again maybe it wasn’t, I remember hearing that Penn has a problem with that guy because he’s a creep? Who fucking knows.
The Never Ending Story. I was 28. Still shaken a couple decades later.
I saw this the first time I actually got high, I was probably 15 or 16. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since, I was absolutely not prepared for Falcor going in.
The film ends about 1/3 into the book. And the book gets dark
I am actually trying to read a water damaged copy of the book, lent to me by a friend who named her son Atreyu.
The internet and grad school have combined in an attempt to destroy my ability to read a paper book.
Maybe a story that never ends is too big a challenge in my quest to regain that ability?
Nah, I love dark shit and I can’t wait to get to the part where he meets the nihilistic tortise with allergies. I am really curious to see what the film makers were working with from the book.
Poor horse
No spoilers!
That’s not fair. The story literally never ends.
LOL
