Apart from a few mentioned here, the glove scene from Slugs.

Haha! That scene traumatized my mother! I still don't trust gloves that were left outside and soggy ones repulse me. I'm amazed that sh*ty horrors can have such an impact on people. :)

The Ring is definitely one of the scariest, if not the scariest movie I've watched. But when I watched it for the first time, I wasn't a kid.

The dude in the werewolf costume in the Kurbrick / Ncholson rendition of The Shining. If you never read the book you had no clue what Shelley Duvall was seeing standing there in that room, looking out at her, at the top of the stairs.

Also, the Nameless, Faceless, Many children dropping into that meat grinder in Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Zeether: The boat scene in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.

It doesn't scare me as much now, but I realized when I saw it again (with Rifftrax on) that they had a chicken being decapitated projected on the wall of the tunnel. As Mike Nelson said: "Kids love candy, whimsical characters, and...animal slaughter."

But oh man, if that movie was being shown in school when I was a kid you bet I'd find some way to get out of the room. It was that freaky to me.
I have a severe phobia of Disney rides. I don't like being stuck in artificial environments with singing dolls and many of my nightmares reflect on this.

Also the more jolly and innoccent the environment is meant to look, the more if bothers me.

Wonka accidentally captured this perfectly and that movie was also rated towards the top of the 100 scariest movies ever made even though it was intended as a good-spirited children's flick.

It's a common fear and the horror authors that wrote the House of Wax or Wax Works films tired to capture the sentiment as well.

The only movie that really got to me as a child was Creepshow. Course I saw it when I was 3 and I was supposed to be asleep in the back the of the car at the drive in. Anyways the scene that gave me nightmares for years after was when the people came back out of the ocean covered in seaweed.

Funny story about "The Ring". Me and a old roommate of mine watched it late one night. Keep in mind that both me and my roommate were both 6ft tall or better and former Army Infantry. But no sooner than the movie ended and his sister called on the phone. Me and my buddy looked like to scared cats trying to climb the walls.

nightmare on elm street and friday the 13th, those movies, I didnt think they were scary at the time, when I watched them, and when i liked watching them. They both had this kind of sillyness to them, i dont know. I would devour every one of the sequels both movies had. Nothing like other horror movies. Nowadays, I dont care for them, i dont like them. Maybe I was less than a pussy back then?

I doubt it was an accident, most of dahl's stories have a twisted edge to them. I don't think it was only meant as a good spirited children's film, and if it was, I worry at the sanity of its creators :)

I haven't seen it since I was a kid but saw the Tim Burton remake not so long ago (which was much more innocent) and will say the overall story seems to have a hidden religious suggestion backing it.

As for the decapitated chicken, I don't remember that but don't doubt it. A lot of those songs and movies from the sixties seemed to be some sort of psychological experiment anywhere from subliminals like this to estoterics in Beatles songs.

I can't think of any movies that really scarred me. I remember having nightmares with Jabba the Hut in them, and also getting pretty frightened after seeing some of jaws 3d. But for the most part I've been drawn to disgusting things :) Hmm, actually I think the worst was the torture scene in Princess Bride. The swamp creature in that movie was pretty frightening as a kid too I think.


Only a few films I can remember had a really bad effect on me, and that was se7en and oldboy - but those were scarring my adulthood not my childhood, lol
