    "Death Becomes Her" with Bruce Willis I'll never forget the terror I felt when his wife got a hole blown in her chest only to get up and start walking around again.

    Watership down was horrifying. I never looked at rabbits as 'cute and cuddly' after I saw that movie. I think I was 7.
    On the other hand, Gin (or hopeanuoli, as I knew it) was my favorite cartoon for a while.

    The earliest I can remember were The Usual Suspects (fucking Keyser Soze) and Sleeping Beauty (fucking Maleficient). It took me a while to get past the latter.

    Legit scary movies that messed me up were Nightmare and the Blair Witch Project, but they came a bit later.

    I don't really remember the fear, but I know that when I was really young the BFG and the rhino guards in Disney Robin Hood scared the shit out of me.

    For me it was Hitchcock's "The Birds". For years afterwards, I had trouble walking wherever there were more than 2 or 3 birds together, especially gulls. And I lived by the sea at the time...

    As a 6 year old boy I had the distinct pleasure of watching Arachnophobia while sharing a room with my older brother (we'd moved into our grandmother's place for a week or two while work was done on the house). I'm still shit scared of spiders, those jumping ones especially.

    Otherwise it'd be Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when I was ~8. Specifically this scene.

    Also, there's one scene I remember watching as a child that I've never been able to find the source of. It was a bunch of cartoon animals (rabbits, hedgehogs and others, iirc) trying to cross a road. Most of them made it across, but the hedgehog couple got halfway across, froze, and then got squashed by a truck. I think. May be my memory playing tricks on me.

    Anyone remember that?

    Heh, the same goes for my sister. Still afraid of spiders at 30.

    Aekiel: the Animals of Farthing Wood. The cause of many a weeping child, I would imagine.

    Oh, this is what I meant. It was called simply "Nightmare" in Italian. As for the worst scene, the one in the bed for sure. Couldn't sleep well for weeks.

    For me it was Anaconda at the age of 7. I'm still wary of open water and what could possibly lurk beneath...

    I don't remember any movies in particular that scared me as a child.

    I do remember watching one western, where a tiny girl was carried away screaming as her father was being beaten and left to die. But that didn't scare me so much as bother me.

    You want to know what scared me when I was little? Super Mario Bros 2. Fucking hell, the Phanto still scares me. I used it as the inspiration for a terrifying monster in an original story I was working on just last year. Fuck that shit.

    Oh shit, I completely forgot about that episode. To this day I still feel uncomfortable getting into a big pool all by myself.

    This show was horrific, astonishing now I look back. See below, it's got a higher body count than most ww2 movies.

    Rose Red, didn't re-watch it unlike many horror films I've watched since childhood. I still think I'd get scared of that movie even now.

    Child's Play; the thing that made me scared of ventroloquist dummies.

    And Nightmare on Elm Street. Do you remember the scene where that chick was sleeping and Freddy was slowly cutting the bed around her with single finger? Yea, it caused me to freak out many times while trying to sleep.
