Movies That Traumatized You

The first time I saw the end of GALLIPOLI (1980) it gave me nightmares.  A more grim portrayal of the utter futility of the Great War has never been filmed.
ANTHROPHAGUS (U.S. title THE GRIM REAPER) scared me so badly when I was 17 I walked out of the theater.  Oddly enough, when I watched it again as an adult it didn't bother me at all.
Last of all, JEEPERS CREEPERS freaked me out so badly I paused the movie, walked around the house a couple of times with all the lights on, and got a bowl of popcorn before I could make myself sit down and finish it.  GREAT horror film!

BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL/HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN really got to me for some time; I had never seen a movie displaying gouged-out eyeballs before.  Plus, that ending is rather nasty.  Watching it now, it's kind of silly.

Watership Down when I was about four years old.

Watership Down when I was about four years old.

That one had a huge age restriction when it was released here then.

Watership Down when I was about four years old.

"It's just an animated film about bunnies. It'll be great for kids."

Nightmares ensue.

Got to see it in the cinema. Death of bunnies on the big screen.

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.

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

I was way too young when I watched this on TV. This was also my very first horror movie I watched. It gave me nightmares and I recall waking up screaming at night. Nonetheless it paved my way to be a horror movie addict.

Though I have noticed over the years that many many people always claim they have been severely traumatized by Disney movies. I have seen most of the Disney classics as a kid, and none affected me in a negative way in the slightest

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) 

WILD AT HEART (1990)

MULHOLLAND DRIVE genuinely scared me and weirded me out.

[Gabriel Knight]

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.

The original Puppet Master also freaked me out pretty bad.

[RCMerchant]

The Three Stooges, I guess. I mean-smacking each other was funny when I was a little kid in the 60's.
Me and my brothers beat the s**t out of each other once in a while! But it was all in fun!
Now that I think about it-I still think it's funny.
Is that tramautized?

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)

Along these lines I wonder about how many parents took their kids to see "A boy and his dog. "
