particularly 'the crate'
i swore there was an evil monkey in the furnace room under the stairs

cat's eye too
the last bit with drew barrymore
when the police song is going and the little troll gets thrown into the fan
his tiny knife was badass

shortly after that two-part TV movie for "IT" came out,
anything with a drain freaked my shit out.

there was some good creepy in that, to a 9-year-old me.

Good thread!
Mine: Cannibal Holocaust. I was basically hardened after that. Ok, not really...

I have a memory of watching bits and pieces of Dario Argento's Inferno at a very young age. Im not sure how I reacted to that.

I was also frightened by Twin Peaks.

This norwegian childrens programme
traumatized a whole generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0kNJNe7HGE
I get depressed and actually sick to my stomach by watching it now.

And I have to admit that I had a hard time watching Irreversible, back when it came out. 2002 was it?

My Dad took me to the movies to see Jaws on the big screen

Weirdly, Terminator and Terminator 2 bent my teenage brains as I tried to figure out how the time travel worked.
I started reading about quantum mechanics and discussing the issue with anyone who'd listen.
I went slightly canoe shed biscuit tennis.

I saw Orca on the big screen. I was like three at the time. When the mother killer whale has the miscarriage all over the deck of Richard Harris' ship? Fucking intense for a little kid.

But I wouldn't say it screwed me up. What do I look like, a pussy?

We don't know, what do you look like?

Jaws for me as well. I think there was a body underwater that was missing an eye... fucked up!

My friend and I tried to watch Tejas Chainsaw Massacre but turned it off after the hitchhiker pulls the knife.

Vaginas we were!

I remember watching Carrie as a kid. My sister had the tie-in paperback with Sissy Spacek covered in blood on the spine, I had to turn it around in her bookcase like a little bitch so I didn't have to see it.

i saw this movie with my dad in second grade, as part of a school assignment:

this bombing scene kinda sorta screwed me up:

i had to write a report on it, but the only thing i remember writing on there is that we went to a burger place afterwards and i had apple pie, and that it was good

Day of the Dead.
The Beyond.
The Bronx Warriors.
Last House On The Left.
Most of the porn that was constantly being played in my friends parants' houses.

Horrible, horrible film.

I found that disturbing beyond almost anything I've yet seen. Not just the casual and frequent sexual violence, but the extremely graphic animal slayings and the vividly ultra-condescending attitude towards (and rampant exploitation of) the native people in the film.

Grubby stuff.

Yeah, I remember that. It was a bit messed up.

Wow, that was harrowing.
It seemed to me like the storytellers were emphasising several different individual's horrific final moments/deaths in an atomic explosion, rather than one quick Hollywood-style boom that we, as the viewer, might detach from without emotional engagement.

Grotocult · Post by **Grotocult** » 23 Jul 2009, 11:15

I don't know what it was, but this movie in which a guy intrudes on an interracial couple having sex in a room. The black dude gets up, naked, and the other guy shoots him again and again with a camera that is also a gun. Then my dad came in and turned it off. Never found out what it is.

i think the comic books gave the story a little more substance, but either way it's a great story.

Grotocult · Post by **Grotocult** » 23 Jul 2009, 16:21

Is that Barefoot Gen? Looks nothing like the comic, which nonetheless affected me back in the day as did
