Movie scenes that scared or disturbed you as a kid?

[Francesco Dellamorte]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - Choptop bashing R.H's skull with a hammer

Waxwork - the girl feeds the midget to the man eating plant

The Dark Backward - Bill Paxton licking a corpse

The Gate - the kid stabbing the eyeball that is the palm of his hand with broken glass

Cannibal Holocaust - machete to monkey head

There was some movie where this old lady sewed young girls mouths closed

Little Shop of Horrors - Rick Moranis chopping up Steve Martin and feeding him to that plant (i hate plants)

Garbage Pail Kids - when that thing bites the guys toes off

I dunno... I saw alot more I shouldn't have

i don't know if there was a specific part but the first the first Gremlins movies completely horrified me as a kid.

[Deathfeast]

The segment " They're creeping up on you" from Creepshow. I scream like a girl when I see a large roach now because I had a similiar experience with roaches one time.

Leatherface chasing Sally with a chainsaw in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). I was sweating bullets.
Said scene was topped by the dinner table sequence. The insane intensity of it all, and the close up of Sally's eyeball scared me more than anything.

     HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM- The spikes coming out of the binoculars.

     THE HYPNOTIC EYE-The model catching her hair on fire on the stove burner.

      GIANT BEHEMOTH- The doll floating all by itself after the monster sinks the ferry.

     QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE- The Queen's face, when her mask is pulled off.

     CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN- When the monster breaks the man's back.

     FIEND WITHOUT A FACE- When the guy comes back to the cabin with half his brain gone.

     HORROR OF DRACULA- That close-up of Christopher Lee, bloodshot eyes bulging, blood dripping from his fangs-I jumped back into the next row.

     20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA- The squid, natch....and I was fifteen.

My friends and I were all freaked out by Zelda, and we were about 18 when that movie came out.

I watched Sleepy Hollow when I was 8 and it scared the hell out of me. I didn't have nightmares or anything (I never have nightmares) but for the next few days I was scared to walk around alone in my house. All family members pretending they had no head afterwards didn't particularely help either.
Besides that there were films that scared me while I was watching them but nothing that really had any after effects of any kind. Not that I recall anyways.

The voice of the computer in "2001-A Space Odyssey" creeped me out no end....not a specific scene but I used to occassionally hear that voice in dreams...yikes!

The scene in Disney's "Song of the South" where the little boy got hurt by the bull...never watched it a second time.

[Swamp Thing]

Alice in Wonderland (1985) the TV-movie used to creep me out big time! The part with the Jabberwockey monster used to give me dead set nightmares for months on end.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Little Monsters. The face-melting scene made me hide behind the couch. Any couch I could find. Goodness, that movie was freaky.

I think I was like 14 or 15 when I first saw the gouged eyes being carried in Blue Eyes Of The Broken Doll.  That was my first experience of gouged eyes and it really, really got me freaked out for many years.

Also, a couple scenes in Creepshow got to me: the Crate monster either slashing or chewing out a hole in the student's neck, and the cockroaches emerging from Pratt's chest.  Oh, and also the head on the birthday cake.  Nowadays, of course, it's all good, gory fun.

The kid floating through the window in Salems Lot. The TV trailer for Suspiria, where the skull has the woman's hair on it!

[retrorussell]

One more from BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL/HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN was the ending where the girl's corpse is shown close-up with maggots in her empty eye sockets.  Oh God, yuck!

Also, in another eye-related scene, I squirmed when Michael Myers injected the hypodermic needle into the nurse's eyeball in Halloween II.. then looks at the her corpse on the floor in admiration of his handiwork!  This was shortly after the nurse discovers the body of a doctor with a needle right through the pupil!  Gyuhh!!!
