The 80's remake of The Blob

I've always had a bit of a problem with amorphous slime like monsters.  Creatures like the Blob, the thing, the slime creature from Creepshow 2: The Raft, plus I saw this movie on tv when maybe I was still just a bit too young for 80's style horror. It had a kid die horribly on screen and such.

For months after seeing it, I wouldn't eat anything that had syrup on it.  No pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc..... Anything like that grossed me out because it reminded me of that movie.

I grew out of it.  I can watch those movies now without real problem.  (Although sentient slime is still my least favorite type of monster)
  

In a similar vein I had a problem eating cooked tomato's after the dream David has where he hunts down a dear and eat's its heart in An American Werewolf In London.

The Wall scarred my childhood, I had plenty of nightmares involving the animations from that movie. Ironically, Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands nowadays.

My schoolmate Desmond saw this and told me afterwards that he didn't "know who was Arthur or Martha" in this. I also found it disturbing: the images, not the music.

The original Amityville Horror got me bad when I was a kid. Of course watching it as an adult, it isn't particularly great and hasn't aged well, but at 9 years old -- total nightmare fuel.

Disney's The Black Hole was a big one too. To this day, I don't think they knew if they were making a "Star Wars" knock off with laser gun fights and cute robots for the kids, or a "2001" style sci-fi mindf*** for adults.
The scene where the big red robot "Maximilian" killed Anthony Perkins' character with those spinning blades haunted me for weeks after I saw it, and I never knew quite what to make of the surreal ending (when Dr. Reinhardt "melds" with Max and becomes overlord of some sort of hellish robot underworld... or something), either. 

...that said, even as freaked out as I was when we left the theater, I begged Mom and Dad to let me see it again only a few days later :D

Sometime in the 1970s... maybe '75 or '76, I watched NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD alone on late night TV (I think the program started at 11:30pm and ended after 1 am)... everyone was asleep...I went to bed looking out the windows hoping a car would drive by...

Aliens (1986). I was like ~7 back then. It's not a film for 7 years old. I had nightmares for a few weeks after watching it in cinema. A very good film. I even thought back then iirc but it didn't make it any less scary.

I have never seen it, but, if Water ship Down is traumatic, then Plague Dogs is said to be even more traumatic. Both animated films have several similiarities. Both are based upon books by Richard Adams. Both feature the voice of John Hurt. Both were produced by Nepentine Productions and directed by Martin Rosen.

Watched Plague Dogs many years ago with my (now) ex-wife. At the end we agree to put the movie in the attic and never watch it again.

Was quite disturbed by Nancy's murder in Oliver!. A family movie and she gets bludgeoned to death in the street.

For real trauma, though, it was TV that did it. There was in the late seventies a program called Armchair Thriller. It was an anthology series and one of the stories, 'Quiet As A Nun', scared the living snot out of me. I'm not sure I'd be willing to watch it again even now.

there's a few episodes of TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED that are properly dark as well. 'Flypaper' is one...I don't think anything like that episode would even make it onto tv today!

and yet there were other episodes of TALES... that were completely silly/comedy based

I was told BAMBI traumatized me as a kid, but I don't remember it.

SALO comes to mind.

Yeah, I have mixed memories of that show. When it was good it was excellent, but most of the time 'Tales of the Entirely Expected' would have been more appropriate.

agree...I had all the series of it on dvd a few years back. there were literally only about 5 or 6 episodes out of the entire however many (over 100?) that I genuinely thought were great.

the theme tune still sounds a bit creepy though!

Did you ever see the old Hammer House of Horror TV series? It didn't last as long as Tales, but I thought it was better.
