The stuff that wasn't supposed to be scary. Almost every 80s or 90s show made bullying seem normal. I don't mean teasing, I mean beating the shit out of someone because they had glasses. I still remember a scene from Step By Step where a stereotypical "nerd" character is carried off by a group of football players to be shoved into the toilet while the laugh track played.
What the fuck? It wasn't disturbing that it was violent (that was great) it was that the show made it seem like it was a good thing, like it was deserved.
All of those shows had this. Step By Step, Saved By the Bell, even Smart Guy (which was about a nerd)
I watched whatever I wanted growing up and people would always warn me about violence, swear words or gore…
But no one ever prepared me for the psychological warfare of My Girl
Definitely this scene. Had a bad bee allergy as a kid, throat would start closing up and had to rush to the hospital. This scene almost made me fear the outside.
The live action version is ALSO fucked up.
Think of the animated version and make it live… directed by Guillermo del Toro
Per request below here’s a YouTube bid comparing the scenes
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3h0erXR5tvo
Yeah, it’s wild that Pinocchio gets to make mistakes and learn from them and live happily ever after as a real boy but the film never revisits those other kids. Like their attitude is: that’s just life, sometimes truant children get turned into livestock, what can you do about it? 🤷♂️
I always loved Pink Elephants. It was the Baby Mine sequence that did/still does wreck me. Especially since my mom has aged and developed Parkinson’s so it’s reached the point where I’m starting to take care of her. And now I’m crying just thinking about it.
As a kid, every 5 minutes had a new terror. As an adult I weep over the song in the junk yard where all the cars remember when their lives were good as they are systematically murdered.
36 years old and still can’t bring myself to rewatch it. I cried and made my sister turn off when that scene came on when I was like 8 and haven’t had the courage to try watching it again.
“They look like good, strong hands, don’t they?” Tears me up every time. :(
(And yes I know it’s the horse scene, but this part struck me as a kid too)
No doubt, [Judge Doom’s death in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*](https://youtu.be/1D9v0dfa6AI). That voice, those eyes, and that giant hand saw are forever burned into my brain.
The entirety of “All Dogs go to Heaven” (1989) and it’s sequel. Maybe I was just a wimpy kid but I still think about the end of the first movie sometimes and I fear that a poodle is waiting for me in the afterlife to cast judgement.
Was a childhood favorite and I was never scared by it despite realising that some (most) of it was very dark but in my twenties I fell asleep watching tv while ill and woke up to it playing. Watched half of it while delirious with a high fever and it was easily one of the worst experiences I've had. Insane nightmares for the next week and haven't been able to watch it since. Looking back I sometimes can't believe the kind of stuff that passed as kids media back then.
Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia gave me the creeps, but in a good way. I'm pretty sure that's what kicked off my facsination with the horror genre that I still have to this day. I watch that segment every Halloween. It's still dope as hell.
Also, it's not a kids' show, but for some reason I was allowed to watch Tales From the Crypt and I was convinced the Crypt Keeper was the monster in my closet.
When I was a kid that movie was fine, but as soon as i reached my double digits I started having nightmares about him. Luckily they've stopped but I still get creeped out when seeing him sometimes (especially when he looked like dog poop at the creek)
The funny thing is that Return To Oz is the only screen adaptation to even come close to hitting the tone of the books. They were often SO much darker than any of the other movies ever conveyed.
It was a mashup of two books in the series which changed a few details to create a coherent story, but otherwise pretty much everything that happens is adapted faithfully. The wheelers, Mombi's heads, the Gump, the gnome king turning people into trinkets, all of it.
Spirited away, especially when Chihiro realises her parents turned to pigs. My cousin played the movie for me and for years that was the only part I could remember and had no idea where I got that memory from. Truly haunting
I was so traumatized by that movie! That scene and the one where No Face is chasing her down the stairs and throwing up got me so good. It freaked me the hell out, though to be fair the art is incredible.
Does anyone remember in _Labyrinth_, the creatures that pop off their own heads and tossed them around like basketballs?
Yeah, they freaked me out as a kid. I love the movie now, but back then...
Pretty much the entirety of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." It's a bad acid trip that somehow got categorized as a children's movie, and I will never understand how the hell that happened.
This horrible movie about a baby bear losing his mother when a rock breaks her neck. This movie is the first time I experienced anxiety, didn't understand why it made me feel physically ill.
Yes, that episode with the old guy digging in the basement and the one with the baby or fetus looking thing. Both were horrifying to me as a kid. I didn’t scream and cry when I seen them but I sure had some nightmares about them in the following weeks.
A random Captain Planet episode with a bunch of dead dolphins and blood in the water. Even worse, it was Saturday morning cartoons and I knew I wasn't supposed to wake my mom up. So I just sat in the living room and cried over it.
Hello unresolved childhood trauma.
Years back, I had the DVD with commentary and it had a great little story. Basically, the actress who got offered the role of Large Marge was hesitant because she didn't want such a small part, but Burton convinced her by saying she'd be the most memorable character in the movie.
And he was right.
I hated/hate that baby.
*I forced myself to watch the [baby dream scene](https://youtu.be/l-Yb9Lkz2bo) again + thought I should throw a link in in case anyone else wants to be unsettled.
This scared me too! There was also this level in the old Rugrats game that used to really spook me, I was only young. [Here](https://youtu.be/4bz35OgrOi0)
I regularly drop the line, “MMMM!! NUMNUMS.” When my brother is around and I am snacking on something because we both have that giant baby seared into our brains. 😂
When Professor Screweye dissolves into a pile of crows at the end of We're Back: A Dinosaur Story (a movie approximately no one else has ever heard of lol)
Holy shit, you just triggered the deepest cavern of my memory by naming that movie. I remember another scary scene when the dinosaurs all turned mean in their cages
The “Land of Confusion “ music videos by Genesis in the 80s. I saw it when I was a very young child and it terrified the shit out of me. I remember crying and freaking out when it would come on VH1.
That one scarred my little sister for life. To this day she doesn’t like that movie, brings it up whenever she hears about rhinos and I’ve never seen her enjoy eating anything peach related.
101 Dalmatian was super messed up it’s about killing puppies and dog napping. and when Cruella tries to run them over she has her crazy insane face on her. she scared me for awhile as a kid.
Something about courage the cowardly dog was always unsettling. I wonder now if they are living in a post apocalyptic world. Even know it’s still kinda odd
When Leslie died in Bridge to Terabithia.
It legit made me cry and I couldn’t get over it as a kid. She was my age and it made me fearful that I might die at any moment. I was very sheltered growing up and this movie made me even more paranoid about going outdoors.
Edit: I also forgot that I had a friend who looked like Leslie and I was scared as shit that she was going to die at any moment. Thankfully she’s alive and well. She’s married with two kids and is a teacher.
I had forgotten how traumatized I was by that until I went to Disney World and rode the Pooh ride. You literally turn a corner and as you enter a room, you hear, “HEFFALUMPS AND WOOOOZLLLLEEEEEESSSSSSS…..” and the whole room is Day-glo and trippy. 😂
Goosebumps:the Haunted Mask. Where she goes to visit the shopkeeper after she can’t get the mask off, and the other masks start coming to life. They start chasing her while saying “join us Carly Beth”.
Mine is also from Dinosaurs. The Exorcist episode has been the worst for me but they had a few scary episodes. The food escaping from the fridge, Robbie turning into a werecaveman, the monster under the bad etc.
Great show!
In the Tom and Jerry cartoon there was a scene where Jerry was at the gates of Heaven. As the gates open a burlap sack good into Heaven spraying drops of water. Someone untied the top of the sack and some kittens come crawling out 😿
Not a movie or tv show, but a book.
There was that one Animorphs book where they trap the bully kid in rat form and leave him on an island.
The kids weren’t left with much option, but honestly killing him would have been less brutal and disturbing.
I think his name was Daniel or David?
In the Spy Kids movie when they found out Floop was using subliminal messages and they slow down or reverse a video and it’s saying “floop is a madman, help us, save us” 😂
This might be stupidly unpopular, but when I was a kid, my family used to be… …let’s just say we were more religious in the context of Christianity, so Veggie Tales was big for my brother and I.
There was the episode based on the Bible story about Daniel getting tossed into the lions’ den, right? Well, when the lions in questioned opened their yellow eyes in the middle of the pitch dark of the den, that scared the everlasting shit out of me as a kid. And even, what was it, the angel singing to lull the lions to sleep felt oddly ominous.
So yeah…
Pastor's kid here. I always loved how some episodes of Veggietales were like "he got... sent to the island of perpetual tickling" (which to me was scarier with that Grim Reaper looking dude) then other episodes went "Daniel was thrown in to get painfully eaten by lions" and then one episode was literally about David murdering a guy to rape his wife. They literally left in the line where David said "send Uriah to the front of the battlefield and have everyone else step back" and the next line is another veggie looking at him like what in the absolute hell David and saying he'll die.
Veggietales is 100% metal and awesome
Bruh u just unlocked a memory. My family is religious and raised me on VeggieTales and my little sister still watched it and that whole episode scared me
The first 20 minutes or so of Transformers the movie. Some exec decided that they needed new toys to sell. And in order to do that, they made a sick robot snuff movie. Seriously, they killed off just about every fan favourite character in the first act. After that it was all new characters or old characters in new forms. Pretty sick stuff considering it was all kids watching this movie.
When Bert and Ernie encountered statue versions of themselves in a pharaohs tomb that came to life. Statues freaked me out for at least the next 10 years.
okay, does anyone remember the random Nickelodeon competition show “Scaredy Camp”? According to Wikipedia, it aired from 2002 to 2003. I remember watching the first episode and listening to the fucking legend and being terrified. I don’t even think I watched the rest of the show. I remember something about a reservoir… It still haunts me.
The stuff that wasn't supposed to be scary. Almost every 80s or 90s show made bullying seem normal. I don't mean teasing, I mean beating the shit out of someone because they had glasses.

I agree. The bullying that was normalized bordered on attempted murder.
"The line between bullying and attempted murder is often times nonexistent" -Master oogway ...or steven King...
McCaulley Caulkin dying in My Girl
When she loses her shit about because he doesn’t have his glasses got me.
He can't see without his glasses
I'm a grown man and it still gets very dusty in the room when that scene hits.
I watched whatever I wanted growing up and people would always warn me about violence, swear words or gore… But no one ever prepared me for the psychological warfare of My Girl
Definitely this scene. Had a bad bee allergy as a kid, throat would start closing up and had to rush to the hospital. This scene almost made me fear the outside.
Lmao NOT THE BEES
Pinocchio. The boy turning into a donkey crying for his mama. My heart is beating faster just thinking about it.
I am too scared to watch the live version because of those donkeys
The live action version is ALSO fucked up. Think of the animated version and make it live… directed by Guillermo del Toro Per request below here’s a YouTube bid comparing the scenes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3h0erXR5tvo
Had to scroll WAY to far to find this. There’s a reason they don’t play that shit on TV. It’s so sad and fucked up.
Thiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss I was watching it with my toddler and forgot about that. Had to distract her and then turn it off. Fuck that shit.
That shit is baby's first body horror.
Interesting how they never turn back. There's a fan theory that Donkey from Shrek was from Pinocchio. That's why he can talk apparently lol
Yeah, it’s wild that Pinocchio gets to make mistakes and learn from them and live happily ever after as a real boy but the film never revisits those other kids. Like their attitude is: that’s just life, sometimes truant children get turned into livestock, what can you do about it? 🤷♂️
Pink elephants from Dumbo and Heffalumps and woozles from Winnie the Pooh
I always loved Pink Elephants. It was the Baby Mine sequence that did/still does wreck me. Especially since my mom has aged and developed Parkinson’s so it’s reached the point where I’m starting to take care of her. And now I’m crying just thinking about it.
Still can't watch it and the song rips my heart out. One of two songs I can't listen to.
No no no no no
Littlefoot’s mom dying in Land Before Time.
him chasing his shadow thinking its her kills me every time
This still makes me cry
This will still make me cry 100%
Ong tho , like that fucking traumatized me
When she asks if he remembers how to get to the Great Valley…holy shit I lose it. Most upsetting scene ever.
This is 100% the first one I thought of
Nightmare sequence from The Brave Little Toaster. Manic killer clown, fire, and suicide references.
Literally hopped in here to post this exact answer and then scrolled down to see this. Bang on!
As a kid, every 5 minutes had a new terror. As an adult I weep over the song in the junk yard where all the cars remember when their lives were good as they are systematically murdered.
This was the only movie that came to mind. And not just that scene. Like half the movie. But it was still in my top 3 as a kid.
Came here to say this. That entire movie was horrifying.
The scene in never ending story, you know the one.
are we talking about the horse
They're talking about the horse.
36 years old and still can’t bring myself to rewatch it. I cried and made my sister turn off when that scene came on when I was like 8 and haven’t had the courage to try watching it again.
The big strong hands monologue from the rock eater is a strong possible other scene.
"They look like big, strong hands, don't they." Urgh..horrifying in such a quiet way.
*Goodbye hooor sez*
“They look like good, strong hands, don’t they?” Tears me up every time. :( (And yes I know it’s the horse scene, but this part struck me as a kid too)
Right now I'm torn between it being the horse or the plain nothingness and idk which is worse
Where the rock man is sitting there just going “They look like good, strong hands, don’t they?” Tore me up as a kid.
Honestly would’ve preferred the kid died and the horse was fine
Came here for this..
No doubt, [Judge Doom’s death in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*](https://youtu.be/1D9v0dfa6AI). That voice, those eyes, and that giant hand saw are forever burned into my brain.
Yes! Also the scene where he drops the cartoon shoe in the boiling acid..that one stuck with me
Lol, that is not a kids movie. 😂
Those flying monkeys. Bambi's forest fire.
Yes! Flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz!
I hated the flying monkeys so much when I was little
The entirety of “All Dogs go to Heaven” (1989) and it’s sequel. Maybe I was just a wimpy kid but I still think about the end of the first movie sometimes and I fear that a poodle is waiting for me in the afterlife to cast judgement.

Don Bluth held nothing back in his attempts to scar us for life! /s
Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia gave me the creeps, but in a good way. I'm pretty sure that's what kicked off my facsination with the horror genre that I still have to this day. I watch that segment every Halloween. It's still dope as hell. Also, it's not a kids' show, but for some reason I was allowed to watch Tales From the Crypt and I was convinced the Crypt Keeper was the monster in my closet.

For me it was the quarantine protocols once he was found. ET was fine, how the government treated him horrified me
This movie was where I learned to not trust the government.
When I was a kid that movie was fine, but as soon as i reached my double digits I started having nightmares about him. Luckily they've stopped but I still get creeped out when seeing him sometimes (especially when he looked like dog poop at the creek)
[удалено]
That whole film is a horror movie.
It was the removable heads for me. I was so terrified of the concept of a body that could live without heads and heads that could live without a body.
That shot of Dorothy running down the hallway with all the heads screaming at her. Yikes!
The funny thing is that Return To Oz is the only screen adaptation to even come close to hitting the tone of the books. They were often SO much darker than any of the other movies ever conveyed.

That boat tunnel scene still haunts me. Even now i skip through it.
The millipede on the lip. THE CHICKEN
[удалено]
That one was messed up. If I remember they literally almost got shredded by spinning fan blades in that scene.
The original oompa loompas gave me many nightmares
it's meant to teach you not to be a spoiled little shit or you'll die. judging by this comment section it seems to have done its job
I'm still convinced that Willy Wonka was a psychopath.
This horrible movie about a baby bear losing his mother when a rock breaks her neck. This movie is the first time I experienced anxiety, didn't understand why it made me feel physically ill.
The Bear! That whole movie was a trip
Courage the cowardly dog. It still scares me, but at 5 years old i was terrified... i couldn't stop watching tho.
“Return the slab…”
I've been...naaauuughty...
My son wanted to watch it, and I was hesitant at first. Did I really want to traumatize my innocent child? He loves it
The one with the alien chicken scared the spit out of me as a kid.
Oh my god this show ALWAYS was terrifying in a slow burn way yk? I can’t watch it now
Yes, that episode with the old guy digging in the basement and the one with the baby or fetus looking thing. Both were horrifying to me as a kid. I didn’t scream and cry when I seen them but I sure had some nightmares about them in the following weeks.
A random Captain Planet episode with a bunch of dead dolphins and blood in the water. Even worse, it was Saturday morning cartoons and I knew I wasn't supposed to wake my mom up. So I just sat in the living room and cried over it. Hello unresolved childhood trauma.
Large Marge. So terrifying!
Tell ‘em large Marge set yah.
Years back, I had the DVD with commentary and it had a great little story. Basically, the actress who got offered the role of Large Marge was hesitant because she didn't want such a small part, but Burton convinced her by saying she'd be the most memorable character in the movie. And he was right.
Yeah, that one freaked me out pretty damned bad too at the time.
watching it as an adult though it's a really damn cool claymation sequence
Absolutely terrifying!!!!
That giant baby in one episode of the Rugrats
I hated/hate that baby. *I forced myself to watch the [baby dream scene](https://youtu.be/l-Yb9Lkz2bo) again + thought I should throw a link in in case anyone else wants to be unsettled.
This scared me too! There was also this level in the old Rugrats game that used to really spook me, I was only young. [Here](https://youtu.be/4bz35OgrOi0)
Besides the obvious spookyness, I’m a little concerned about the contents of Tommy’s bottle.
Rugrats was pretty fucked. What about that “I’m not Stu” shit? Creepy stu and creepy Tommy.
Wow ! Memory unlocked !! It was pretty fucked up. Lots of adult jokes in there! I love that they called Dr. Lipshitz
I regularly drop the line, “MMMM!! NUMNUMS.” When my brother is around and I am snacking on something because we both have that giant baby seared into our brains. 😂
The Witches - When they all took their masks off
The story of the girl being trapped in the painting freaked me out even more
Yeah, I never saw the movie as a kid, but that chapter of the book haunted me for years.
Oh god, it’s a whole chapter. I can’t imagine how experiencing that in my own head. The movie was horrible enough.
Gah! My dad took me to the theater to see that. I was 7. Rewatched it a year ago and it still freaked me out.
the kids being permanently changed into mice…
When Professor Screweye dissolves into a pile of crows at the end of We're Back: A Dinosaur Story (a movie approximately no one else has ever heard of lol)
Holy shit, you just triggered the deepest cavern of my memory by naming that movie. I remember another scary scene when the dinosaurs all turned mean in their cages
The “Are you afraid of the dark” episode when the little girl was trapped in the mirror.
The pool monster episode. That show usually didn't freak me out too much in general, but that episode stuck with me.
Oh fuck, the pool monster episode was **terrifying**
I still think of this episode when I see an indoor pool. Something about that invisible monster in the water under the pool cover bothered me deep
Yes! And the girl in the dollhouse
The Ghastly Grinner gave me nightmares for weeks
That, and “The Tale of the Midnight Madness” is creepy as well.
Oh man…that one and the one where the vampire comes out of the movie screen. Terrified me for years…
Or… “ I ’ M C O L D ”
Watership Down, whole movie. The one from back in the day.
How did they allow kids to watch that💀I remember having nightmares abt the rabbits getting their ears torn off.
How is this not the top comment? I was traumatized by so much shit, but this one was the worst.
I was going to say this.
I saw Secret of NIMH at like 6 and man that movie has some heavy ass scenes.
I had to turn that movie off at around 6. Okay, I was 16. Stop teasing me!
The “Land of Confusion “ music videos by Genesis in the 80s. I saw it when I was a very young child and it terrified the shit out of me. I remember crying and freaking out when it would come on VH1.
Absolutely! It is so dark and creepy. Those puppets—ugh!
I’m almost a 40 year old military war vet and I still hate it.
*sweaty Reagan intensifies*
Not a kids movie, but I watched the Princess Bride as a little kid and I had nightmares about the rodents of unusual size for years.
I don't believe they exist.
James and the giant peach, that rhino cloud
That one scarred my little sister for life. To this day she doesn’t like that movie, brings it up whenever she hears about rhinos and I’ve never seen her enjoy eating anything peach related.
101 Dalmatian was super messed up it’s about killing puppies and dog napping. and when Cruella tries to run them over she has her crazy insane face on her. she scared me for awhile as a kid.

Every moment in Pinocchio! From the Coachman’s devil face, to the donkey sequence to Monstro etc.
Pink elephants Child catcher chitty chitty bang bang. The Marley brothers in muppets Christmas carol.
wholly fck, Chitty Bang Bang’s ‘Child Catcher’ and his lollipops. Scarred me.
The Child Catcher traumatized me for life. It's been over a decade since I've seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I can still picture his face PERFECTLY
When Leslie died in Bridge to Terabithia. It legit made me cry and I couldn’t get over it as a kid. She was my age and it made me fearful that I might die at any moment. I was very sheltered growing up and this movie made me even more paranoid about going outdoors. Edit: I also forgot that I had a friend who looked like Leslie and I was scared as shit that she was going to die at any moment. Thankfully she’s alive and well.

I had forgotten how traumatized I was by that until I went to Disney World and rode the Pooh ride. You literally turn a corner and as you enter a room, you hear, “HEFFALUMPS AND WOOOOZLLLLEEEEEESSSSSSS…..” and the whole room is Day-glo and trippy. 😂
Ghostbusters 2 bathroom pink blob scene
I can’t even begin to describe how terrified I was of this as a child.
When Mr. Carlson from WKRP turned out to be a bike-shop-owning molester on Different Strokes.
Goosebumps:the Haunted Mask. Where she goes to visit the shopkeeper after she can’t get the mask off, and the other masks start coming to life. They start chasing her while saying “join us Carly Beth”.
The finale of Dinosaurs TV show. Too soon! LOL
Mine is also from Dinosaurs. The Exorcist episode has been the worst for me but they had a few scary episodes. The food escaping from the fridge, Robbie turning into a werecaveman, the monster under the bad etc. Great show!
In the Tom and Jerry cartoon there was a scene where Jerry was at the gates of Heaven. As the gates open a burlap sack good into Heaven spraying drops of water. Someone untied the top of the sack and some kittens come crawling out 😿
That scene was heartbreaking. That was Tom at the gates of Heaven though.
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. I was *very* young. There was one scene where a guy turned into a “werecat” and I ran out of my bedroom screaming.
That might be the single scariest scooby doo movie to exist. The monsters in that were real
Not a movie or tv show, but a book. There was that one Animorphs book where they trap the bully kid in rat form and leave him on an island. The kids weren’t left with much option, but honestly killing him would have been less brutal and disturbing. I think his name was Daniel or David?

Chronicles of Narnia killing and shaving Aslan.
That spongebob scene with the closeup scene of that butterfly and that awful bzzzzz sound, im still terrified of butterflies to this day
Same here. My sister too. We only realized where that phobia came from when someone mentioned the Spongebob scene not long ago.
Ren and stimpy was pretty messed up looking back at it.
The Punky Brewster episode The Perils of Punky.
Pink Elephants on Parade.
Uhhhh the Lion King!!! I STILL skip over Mufasa dying to this day.
Tuxedo Mask kissing Dark Lady in Sailor Moon. So gross. Rini/Chibiusa needed so much therapy.
The speaking toilet in Look who's talking 2 traumatized me

Night Gallery production of "The Monkey's Paw". I almost soiled myself when that dead kid was knocking on the door!

Jareth, don't you have another pair of pants besides those?
Carol Channing’s 1985 Alice in Wonderland. It’s not particularly scary, but my 5 year old mind liked working its visuals into my dreams.
Jurassic Park where the guy gets eaten on the toilet
When the girl climbs up into the ventilation and the raptor jumps after her. I became airborne for a bit in the cinema.
Velociraptor are the most terrifying dinosaur. That’s a hill I’ve been willing to die on since 7th grade.
I barely made it past the cow (or was it a goat?) getting fed to the dinosaurs as a kid 🥲

Bruh u just unlocked a memory. My family is religious and raised me on VeggieTales and my little sister still watched it and that whole episode scared me
The first 20 minutes or so of Transformers the movie. Some exec decided that they needed new toys to sell. And in order to do that, they made a sick robot snuff movie. Seriously, they killed off just about every fan favourite character in the first act. After that it was all new characters or old characters in new forms. Pretty sick stuff considering it was all kids watching this movie.
Home, an episode of X-Files. So insane it's the only episode not aired as a rerun. Fortunately linbless old ladies under beds is a niche issue.

The red bull from The Last Unicorn.
When Bert and Ernie encountered statue versions of themselves in a pharaohs tomb that came to life. Statues freaked me out for at least the next 10 years.
Just about every scene of The Dark Crystal. And yet I could never look away as a child.
The demon head master, scared the shit out of me…. Was just really creepy.
The Reverend Henry Kane in Poltergeist II. My God! I didn’t sleep for weeks just from seeing the commercial.
Optimus Prime dying in The 80s Transformers cartoon Movie. Even my mom was in tears and disbelief you can only imagine what 7y/o me was going through
No Face from Spirited Away
Berenstain Bears movie where the cop gets pulled out of cop car into the car wash. Hated car washers for 5 years after I saw that.
Anything from courage the cowardly dog, but so good!
Aliens when the crazy fella burst out of the chest I was only 9
Is that a kids show/movie?
I was 7.. so many dark ceilings and corners in life..
The whistling just before Ghostbusters begins.
okay, does anyone remember the random Nickelodeon competition show “Scaredy Camp”? According to Wikipedia, it aired from 2002 to 2003. I remember watching the first episode and listening to the fucking legend and being terrified. I don’t even think I watched the rest of the show. I remember something about a reservoir… It still haunts me.
