I didn't go near the ocean for years after seeing Jaws.  Of course that's kind of easy when you live in Minnesota.

Godzilla, King Of The Monsters (the very first 1954 movie) had me scared to walk home from school when I was little. 

I was afraid Godzilla would rear his head over the mountains like he did in that classic scene from the movie, when the scientists were walking up the hill. 

Sure, there were houses on both sides and lots of people around, but I was scared anyway.

THE EDUCATION ON CHARLIE BANKS put me off watching any other movie directed by Fred Durst.

I honestly didn't know that that limp biscuit  Wink had directed a film.

Yep, a couple believe it or not.  But CHARLIE BANKS is the only one I've seen.

A lot of critics and fans liked CHARLIE BANKS, but I didn't.  Here's my review.

Thanks for that, ulthar.

I got put off sky-diving forever after seeing the South African film Die Eensame Vlug [The Lonely Flight] - a love triangle drama where two brothers are in love with the same lady. The one brother decides to do away with the competition and ends up killing his girlfriend when he messes with her parachute.  Buggedout Buggedout

That reminded me that Creepshow 2 put me off swimming in lakes for a really long time!  I'm still a little nervous about it.

To be honest "The Ring" made me nervous about televisions for a long time.  I couldn't sleep in rooms that had tv's in them for quite some time. Kind of sad since I was well into my 20's when I saw it.

I also remember poltergeist 3 giving me the jibbilies about mirrors when I was a kid.

In the same vein as "bad movies directed by rock-stars" Seeing "house of 1000 corpses" definitely turned me off from seeing other films directed by Rob Zombie.  I was a huge fan of Zombie's music when I was a teenager (less so now, guess I'm mellowing out in my old age) and eagerly awaited the release of this movie. What ruined it was when one of my friends told me the whole storyline at the start of the film.  What doubly ruined it was my friend had never seen the movie before either, he was just guessing it would follow the old "dumb teenagers getting killed by rednecks" formula and he was completely correct(I quote my friend, "4 dumb kids named "victim fodder #1-4" with 2 female and 2 male will find themselves with a flat tire and then decide to check out the creepy house and then spend the rest of the movie being chopped up by rednecks" he was about 90% correct).  Sadly unimaginative compared to what it could have been especially given how long it took to produce.

I remember seeing "Swamp Thing" when I was very young. There's a scene at the very start of the film where Alec Holland (was it true enough to the comic to name the scientist Alec Holland?) is doused with a glowing yellow liquid. Anyway, he goes screaming into the swamp and becomes the Swamp Thing.

My very, very young mind made a connection with that horror and apple juice. Apple juice is yellow, a yellow liquid turned that guy into the Swamp Thing.

I didn't drink apple juice for years.

Poltergeist kind of freaked me out with regards to the TV once the channel shuts off for the night and there's the white static fuzz on the TV set. Avoided having my TV showing that static for years afterwards...

True, but what about all the shark-infested lakes you have there?

Not that I ever hitchhiked, but seeing what happened to the boy scout in "Lair of the White Worm," who was trying to thumb a ride, put me off of hitchhiking.


Seldom do you hear about people trying to thumb a ride anymore, but some forty or more years ago, I had alot of good friends who thought nothing of hitchhiking. And my advice to them was always not to do it. It was just too dangerous. And it was equally dangerous to pick up a hitchhiker.
