Traumatizing movie scenes you remember from childhood?

[Skittles]

Oh and let us not forget this movie.

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

This fooking horse.

IIRC, that scene nearly killed the kid playing Atreyu during filming. Literally.

 

[GarthTheWereWolf]

Oh? I mean, smacking the fantasies out of people is a noble cause, but you probably mean something "deeper".

Yup,

Gmork is the most complex character in the book. Hes evil and tried to kill Atreyu, but ended up being the one to restore Atreyu's hope in the quest and tell him exactly what he was up against. Then, as his last action, simply because he felt like it, he saved Atreyu from the Nothing by biting him, restraining him from the nothing's pull until Falkor arrived, ultimately leading to the world being saved.

For some reason, I always get an eerie feeling from the beginning of this Ghostbusters scene, don't know if it's the music, the scenery, or both.

Yeah that was also a freakily eerie one.

 

[Existenceinanutshell]

I know this isn't a movie.

But Mr. Meaty always scared the Hell out of me as a kid.

Not a movie scene but I remember seeing an anti-smoking ad when I was a kid, it was claymation and it showed a girl eating a dead cat or something... I googled it and I think it was one of these? I was like 7 and they scared the shit out of me lol, I'd see the beginning of the ad and I'd hide under the blankets

 

[Nyro46]

The scene in the live-action Grinch movie where Cindy Lou Who falls in the present sorting machine scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Speaking of claymation, here's something I found recently

Idk about you but gozer scared the hell out of me

 

[Pygmepatl]

Idk about you but gozer scared the hell out of me

Me too! He was such a scary villain.

.....that legitimately bothered me deeply

 

[Positron]

Me too! He was such a scary villain.

Idk what it was about him that rattled me, maybe that ancient sumerian theme

Nothing like the originals for some movies. Here is a clip from the original War of the Worlds.

Oh god. Yes. That..

Oh I've seen that before! Not as a child thankfully. That one's upsetting even as an adult, can't imagine how 7-year-old me would have coped

I used to watch a lot of 'War of the Worlds' clips when I was a kid, idk but it was such an interesting concept to me

Neither have I watched it as a kid. What a way of introducing children to the complex concept that is 'existensialism'.

That was my frist time seeing that, I could've went without... But there are a few other shows like that ive seen on weird children's channels

 

[Positron]

Also, I may or may not still find gozer a little scary

 

[Pygmepatl]

Another scene from a movie that I watched a few years ago which I'm sure has left a lot of traumatized children. The movie is called 'Intruders' by the way, and it's a really interesting one regarding alien abductions.

 

[Keefur]

There were so many good old movies. The original Time Machine, and the stopaction movies like The Argonauts and all those Sinbad movies.

[Keefur]

Another good one.

That shizzle had my five year old self looking round corners with a mirror for a couple of days..
