What movie traumatized you as a child?

[SetWave]

Saw House of Wax in 3D. EEEEEKKKK!!!

1) Psycho. So much so that when we went to Universal Studios, we were able to get very close to the actual house and it gave me the creeps.

2) The Exorcist (1973)

My mom and sister were among the many women who insisted some one stand guard as they showered.

"House on Haunted Hill" came out in 1959, was that it? That has always been one of my favorite movies of all time.

Oh, me too. I had to sleep with the lights on for weeks. My mother was madder'n hell at my grandmother for taking me to see it. The scene with the hanged woman outside the window was the worst!

The other one was "20 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". My dad and I went to see it while we were on vacation at the beach and the giant octopus ( squid?) scared the behoozits out of me. The next day, I was in the water and a big piece of long stringy seaweed wrapped around my legs. I screamed so loud they thought a shark must have got me. I wouldn't go deeper than my ankles the rest of the vacation.

old yeller.

It was a heart breaker.

In my teens, Easy Rider.

 

[Manatee]

The original Zombie movies were heavy duty spooky.

 

[MarciKS]

the funniest horror movie i ever saw was the 1922 movie Nosferatu. that cracked me up. my father was looking at me and going..."to us this was really scary when we were kids." he was grinning and that made me laugh even harder.

I must be abnormal because no movie ever traumatized me. I mean, a movie is fake. But, when I was in my forties I saw the Blair Witch Project and had trouble hiking in the woods for quite a bit afterwards.

 

[PamfromTx]

I don't think so.

Not so much as a child, but...

Silent Scream (1979)

I had nightmares for months after!

I find it very spooky. It's my favorite.

 

[Dana]

The movie "The Diary of Anne Frank"...

 

[Keesha]

When I was younger, Jaws was a bit scary. Now looking at all those old movies is amusing. Special effects have advanced so much that it makes some of the older movies look like a joke. Then again, some stuff looks too real now a days. Lol

 

[SetWave]

The Tingler. That was creepy.

 

[sadie123]

Oooh! It was, “Picture Mommy Dead”. They use the song, “The worms crawl in the worms crawl out”. I was very scared after I saw that movie.

No movies have ever traumatized me either but some definitely trigger me. My husband and I watch the opposite type of tv shows. If nobody gets killed in the first 3 minutes, he’s not the least bit interested.

Another one:
The picture of Dorian Gray

We had a painted portrait of my mother in the living room; I was afraid to look at it when I walked by, as it looked like her eyes were following me.

YES! That is the first movie that came to my mind.

Another one is "Motel Hell". Bacon made out of Motel residents.

 

[chic]

The Hitcher was creepy, but I wasn't traumatized by it.

 

[MrPants]

Straight Jacket starring Joan Crawford was the first movie that freaked me out!


The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock was pretty scary too

 

[MarciKS]

that's better than me. i used to cry whenever that damned lassie theme played. you know that super sad one at the end. made me so mad. i still can't listen to it. lol

 

[Fyrefox]

The Crawling Eye (1958) kind of creeped me out. Eyes are kind of gooey to begin with, then combining that with a bulbous head pulsing with veins, and adding tentacles for appendages made for memorable nightmares...

 

[Irwin]

Without a doubt, The Exorcist. That movie freaked me out. For years!

 

[Wren]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame starring Charles Laughton and JayneEyre, both frightened the hell, out of me at a very young age, never been the same since

 

[Gary O']

What about you?

Those creepy flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz

Scared theee CRAP outa me
