The first Resident Evil movie. Not because of the zombies, it was the laser scene that got to me. I was convinced that lasers would come out of any reflective surface to get me. I didn't like how they seemed to react to the guy avoiding them, making it impossible for him to escape, like they were intelligent and trying to kill him.

Fantasia, not specifically the Night on bald mountain section, but the bits with the orchestra.

Also a TV series in the UK called Mealstrom. The paintings would come to life, which was ok but the intro was creepy AF https://youtu.be/_FwP5LAXd7U

Threads (1984). Still one of the most realistically possibje horror films ever made. The BBC banned its re-airing for 40 years due to being too disturbing.

My Girl. The ending with the kid dying from getting stung by all those bees messed with my mind as I was only like 5 or 6 when I saw it.

The first scene of Willow

Those really weird thumb creatures from Spy Kids. Could not STAND them and the movie would rerun almost every day.

Also King Rameses from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

The Grudge. The Japanese original and the US ones.

That was scaaary for young kids, I was afraid to watch it again 30 years after. Now it is almost funny.

Return of the Living Dead, not because it's any good but just because I was really scared of zombies as a kid. The Tarman zombie gave me nightmares for years.

killer klowns from outer space. now as an adult i find out its considered a comedy!

The Tall Man from Phantasm scared the shit out of me

I still have a nightmare once a decade about him chasing me screaming "BOY!"

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

“Pokemon: Jirachi, Wish Maker” for me. It had this really creepy Groudon with tentacles.

Stephen King's IT.

Tim Curry is a phenomenal actor.

The Haunting (1963) b/w spook house horror Had a lot experience with Monster Films from Jack Arnold (Tarantula) and Godzillas, but this hit totally unexpected. Didnt help i was watching it in the middle of the night on TV.

The Strangers. I lived in a house similarly isolated with a sliding glass door just like the one in the movie where she moves the curtain and he’s right there staring in.

SAW

Child's Play. I was, like, 5? when I watched it. A lot of my toys ended in my older sister's room because I couldn't stand them, I was afraid that they'd chase me.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The old animated one by Disney. The Witch/Evil Queen scenes would always scare the living shit out of little old me! When my sister and I would watch the movie with our grandparents, they would have to fast-forward through those bits.

Something was on TV and I have no idea what it was nor do I care to try to find it. Someone was in the hospital and transformed into some sort of monster while the nurse was out of the room and when she came back in it reached out from under the hospital bed and ripped her fucking leg off. I'd never had thoughts about monsters under the bed before but after that I always jumped as far away from the edge of the bed as possible when I got out.

I watched Halloween for the first time when I was in like 3rd grade. It was even the dumbed down version on TNT with commercials, but I ended up waking up in the middle of the night and puking over the railing of the top bunk. Poor sister was on the bottom.

I vividly remember watching everyone clean up my puke while I sat up there lol.

Anyway, I fucking love horror movies now. What an origin story.
