– Child’s play. The OG Chuckie movie. I think I was 5 or 6.
– It: the mini series. How was that allowed on regular television?!? Tim Curry as Pennywise haunted me for years, never saw a black and white photo the same way again.
– Aliens, saw it on late night TV, the chest bursting scene, must have been around 6…
Can’t say I screamed but I immediately turned it off, my brain couldn’t process it at all lol
– The very first Pet Sematary. Woke up in the middle of the night and made a business decision to pee in the bed.
– Tremors may seem like a comedy but to 6-year-old me getting dragged out of the theater sobbing, it’s firmly in the horror category. I don’t know if the marketing leaned heavily on the comic nature of the movie and concealed the horror, or if my mother was just a sociopath taking a 6 year old to it in the theater in 1990.
We made it as far as the scene of Perfection’s doctor getting sucked under screamimg while his wife threw him a 2×4 to grab onto before she had to drag my brother and me out. It was truly formative and no bullshit, traumatic. Not as in it had lasting consequences — I love Tremors and have seen it 800 times like everyone else — but the pure chaos and noise of that scene was absolutely sensory motherfucking overload for me at 6 lol.
– Watership Down. Why was this on HBO in the middle of the afternoon after school 😭🐇
what (horror) film did you watch way too young??
