ITT Traumatizing kid's movies.
 

When I was like 3 or 4, the first TMNT movie was my favorite movie, but I would start crying and whining during that scene where Raphael gets jumped on the roof.

So let's hear what movies scared you that you didn't expect to be so scarring.

Benji: The Hunted :(

The Brave Little Toaster. That movie is probably why I am so afraid of fits and/or seizures, but it did a lot of other damage too!

Also, I remember a few scenes from Secret of NIMH scaring the crap out of me.

I remember that part where one of the cougar cubs he leads, gets carried carried away by an eagle, and when that wolf jumps off the cliff :(

Pretty much any so-called children's film pales in comparison to the Dark Crystal. I really hope that whoever thought this -> was appropriate for children was fired... or promoted, depending on how you look at it.

GW, were you and I the same person as a child? I hope not :\

that stupid fucking movie with the cowboy mouse, for whatever reason, traumatized me as a boy.

There was a part in Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland with darkness seeping from behind a vault door and terrifying music was playing and it really did scare me deeply.

That movie with John Goodman as a T-Rex

I was thinking of that movie after Little Nemo.

1:48 into this one. I can't watch any more.

When Mustafa died I was so scared my dad would die. :(

I love mah daddy, and I ain't ashamed.

But he is :tear

E.T.


I still have montly night terrors of being abducted by that Strechy Necked fucker.


Also, I dont know if it counts, but my parents bought me a copy of the Toxic Avenger because i liked the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. :)

I freaked out when E.T. scared that little girl, and they both started screaming.

I agree wholeheartedly with metalmilitia. I love the dark crystal now, but the puppets were way too gruesome with the skeksis.

What about the clown in the toaster's nightmare?

I don't remember that part, probably because at that point I was bawling uncontrolably and wetting myself.

Guys, no. NO. NO NO NO. This thread is incomplete, this thread does not exist, without a reference to "The Adventures of Mark Twain". I saw only a few minutes of it on a static-laden channel when I was probably 8 or so on what was generally touted as being a fundamentalist Christian channel. Hence, I had no fucking clue what was going on when I saw this segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak3z2Pm7Iwg

I seriously think that many of my issues can be traced back to the ten or so minutes of it (which by miraculous happenstance included the above clip) I watched on tv before the signal faded. Until I found this randomly on YouTube, I thought that it was an experience that my mind later invented, which apparently happened at least once in my childhood. (For example, I had very clear memories of my family owning an arcade skill crane for no clear reason, and they put it in my bedroom. This never really happened.)

I mean, jesus christ, why would you expose little kids to something like that ;<

holy fucking shit. I'm glad i never saw that as a child or else i'd have been plagued with nightmares for months.

I thought that was Einstein.

That was pretty awesome claymation.

What the fuck!? I'm going to have nightmares for months.

The only scene in a movie that i can remember as traumatizing was from Logan's Run and I don't think that is a kids movie. :(

You gotta admit, that personification of satan is pretty agreeable. Not so much a laughing devil breathing fire, but a careless, non compassionate, non understanding being who values nothing. OK GUYS TAKE IT TO THE PHILOSOPHY FORUM!
