Movies that Scared You as a Kid

[Twilight Luna 30,941]

For me, it was Poltergeist. That clown freaked me out.

[LegoDashie 1,806]

for me it was  IT.  and i just dont like clowns in general at all

[Odyssey 5,713]

That fricking dumb bug eyed creep at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the bane of my traumatising childhood. That thing can go step on a Lego. And I didn't like anything that involved ghosts as a kid either.

The Super Mario Bros movie. I only watched the trailer but it was terrifying and it was supposed to be for kids. When I watched it I was really trying to find some video that these older girls I knew liked and I stumbled upon the trailer :0.

The movie E.T. managed to get me into my first panic attack (though I think I had one a year earlier, not sure). That counts as scary. I try to not watch E.T. hoping to never relive that stuff.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,411]

Jumanji. That movie freaked me out as a kid!

The wizard of Oz terrified me as child it was so  freaky with the wicked witch

[Venomous 18,813]

I will tell you this: the plane crash scene from the movie Cast Away absolutely terrified me of airplanes. To this day, I am horrified of getting onto a plane. I need to take a sedative before I get so my anxiety stays under control.

The Grudge and The Grudge 2 terrified the stuffing out of me as a kid. 

[EpicEnergy 22,085]

The part in The Lord of The Rings where there was a giant spider really freaked me out as a kid.

[Splashee 28,537]

Ghostbusters, The Lion King, ET

Hold on, let me get my bifocales out... 🧐 

 

Another scary thing for me was the choking scene in Mrs. Doubtfire. I always had to go to another room until it was over.

Stupid me acted like a monocle was plural

Weirdly enough, if I’m remembering right, it was the movie adaptation of James and the Giant Peach.

I mean those bug characters were pretty creepy looking. 

[Emerald Heart 24,589]

When I was little, I was afraid of the Puff the Magic Dragon movie. 

[Spidey10 845]

I remember watching Coraline when I was like 9 or 10 and it was a little hard to sleep that night.

 

I also watched Nightmare On Elm Street at night on IFC when I was 14 and was kind of scared to go to bed that night.

[Magpie 621]

Cats(1998). It's the first movie I have any memories of because it scared me like nothing else as a little kid.

[AppleButt 8,669]

I’d have to say “Scream” scared me a bit when I watched it as a kid. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,370]

The Rugrats Movie.  That being the wolf who goes after the babies and Spike

[Clawdeen 12,110]

The Ring, The Grudge, Scream and I know what you did last summer.
