What film did you watch when you were too young, and how did it traumatize you? (feddit.uk)

Jurassic Park for me. I had an amazing JP jumper when I was like...maybe 6. It was far too big for me but I loved dinosaurs. Naturally this meant I wanted to watch the film because...well I'm 6 and it's got dinosaurs.

Ultimately I ended up watching it with my Mum and Dad. We got as far as the iconic T-Rex chase scene and I told them to turn it off. Didn't go near the film for another few years.

I've now got my own 6 year old. There's no scenario I could envisage where I even consider letting her watch a film as gory, tense and frightening as JP.

Freaked is the reason I slept with a blanket over my head for most of my childhood. Now I love it.

Another one that freaked me the hell out was David Copperfield. It was meant for kids but the moldies were horrifying.

I was allowed to watch a lot of horror movies as a kid, but those are the only two movies that I remember bothering me so much.
