Things in media that scared you as a kid.

[CastletonSnob]

Tell us about things in media that you were afraid of when you were younger, no matter how silly it seems now. It can be anything, like shows, commercials, video games, etc.

I remember I used to be afraid of Olmec from Legends of the Hidden Temple.

The tunnel scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Holy balls, it's like taking bad acid

The fucking dogs through the window in Resident Evil. This used to give me a solid jump scare every time I replayed the game even when I knew it was coming.

These things generally only work the first time for me.
But the scene in Poltergeist when the father pulls open the closet door in a panic and the giant skeleton ghost thing comes out roaring

Is that two separate movies or is that the title?

A book series?

I've never seen an episode of Dr. Who because the theme freaked me out as a kid. And I really don't know why.


That and the meat grinder from The Wall.

Sadly, non-fiction, just thinking about those two gives me the creeps. They are in all the old family videos, haunting them.

These two fucks were "tore up, from the floor up", their crazy hillbilly mother dressed them up in old preacher/Amish type clothing, and they would flip the fuck out whenever music played.....I think they both had down syndrome with a sprinkle of inbred.

The amount of misinformation being spread around is absurd.

This music video gave me nightmares:



The eyeball goop, the hands reaching up from below, the eyeless faces, stop motion dancing skeletons, it was too much to handle at age 5.
