      I saw this the first time I actually got high, I was probably 15 or 16. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since, I was absolutely not prepared for Falcor going in.

      I disagree. More children’s movies need a good horror scene. Builds character.

      The boat scene from Willy Wonka is another good one.

    The world premiere of the Michael Jackson’s Thriller video scared the fucking shit out of me. I ran out of the room screaming when MJ turned to his date and had yellow demon cat eyes. Man fuck that.

      This is what I was going to say too!

      I’m not sure if it was the premiere, but I do remember being called to come and see it - so it must have been some sort of event, or else they wouldn’t have called me in specially.

      Anyway, yeah, those eyes at the end. The rest didn’t bother me at all, but those eyes haunted me for years.

    Well I wasn’t too young, but Requiem For A Dream still haunts me as one of the most depressing movies ever made, it’s just…really sad and disturbing. I think I saw it when I was 18.

    Even Grave Of The Fireflies was more uplifting than that.

      Most depressing movie for sure. So hard to watch. I get a dark feeling even thinking about some of those scenes and character arcs

        I’m 50 and I’m still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I’ve ever seen.

    My dad was flicking through the movie channels and saw that “Pulp Fiction” was on, decided to watch it because he “heard it was pretty good”.

    It was already well underway, and I had the joy of watching the entire basement scene (iykyk) at 12 years old, beside my dad. Not sure why he didn’t turn it off sooner 🤷🏻

    Saw Bone Tomahawk in my late 30s. Wasn’t old enough to handle that yet, apparently

      One of my friends recommended this, and I had to turn it off a few minutes in. That movie is insane.

    My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind’s eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called “Faces of Death” and a movie called “Pink Flamingos”. Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn’t seem as bad as I remembered, but it’s not a great scene to have stuck in your head…

    Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.

      Yeah, that movie is legit creepy as fuck.

      It’s a really good surreal kind of creepiness towards the end that I can definitely see having an impact on a kid. Stanley Kubrick was great.
