Child's Play. I was, like, 5? when I watched it. A lot of my toys ended in my older sister's room because I couldn't stand them, I was afraid that they'd chase me.

I watched Halloween for the first time when I was in like 3rd grade. It was even the dumbed down version on TNT with commercials, but I ended up waking up in the middle of the night and puking over the railing of the top bunk. Poor sister was on the bottom.

I vividly remember watching everyone clean up my puke while I sat up there lol.

Anyway, I fucking love horror movies now. What an origin story.

The Haunting (1963) b/w spook house horror Had a lot experience with Monster Films from Jack Arnold (Tarantula) and Godzillas, but this hit totally unexpected. Didnt help i was watching it in the middle of the night on TV.

Not a movie, but a 'feature length music video'. Michael Jackson's Thriller scared the ever living shit out of 5 or 6 year old me.

After whining for a long time my mom let me see Carrie on a Wednesday afternoon, the Sissy Spacek version. After watching it pretty unscathed to the end the scene came where they show her grave and the hand rises up from the grave....My first official jump scare and since I still remember it today, it has left quite the impression.

No movie really scared me when I was a kid. But my brother watched the original The Day The Earth Stood Still and screamed bloody murder when the robot or whatever came out lmao.

The Tripods was a TV series that traumatized me!

I don't recall the name of it, it was not a big Hollywood movie or anything, and it was super low budget.

But it was some old Christian movie about what will happen to you if you don't get "saved" before the Rapture happens. I remember a song called "I wish we'd all been ready" playing. Not sure if that's the name of the song, not even positive it was actually in the movie at all, or if it was just something I heard around the same time and the memory is getting blurred.

From what I recall, it looked like it was made in the 70s.

I wish I remembered more about it. It was intended to scare the shit out of you to believe in religion. Worked on me at the time, I remember praying like a million times to make sure I did it right the night I watched it, and randomly at times for years as I remembered the scared-shitless feeling.

Religious trauma is a hell of a drug.

I kinda wanna watch it again now that I'm older.

Shutter, but the original Thai version.

For years after watching it I needed to make sure I was holding the bottom of my blanket with my legs all night long. Damn..

I can't really remember why but I never wanted to watch Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer again after seeing it once. I just googled it and it could be the Ice-Queen that's in there that I didn't like but I'm not sure.

Virus with Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland scared the shit out of me when I was young. Seeing mangled humans turned into cyborgs on that ship lost at sea was terrifying.

Jeepers Creepers

I can still the remember the little jingle

I remember being scared during the Ewok movie (Caravan of courage) in particular the dog things chasing them and having them hide out inside a tree, and the giant really freaked me out as a kid

Jurassic Park (original) on the big screen.

Witness - I was about the same age as the kid in the movie. I'm still sketched put in Airport/train/bus station bathrooms.

Candyman, thought of a dark bathroom still scares me.
