Most Traumatic Scene

[Susan]

ALTERED STATES. That was one weird film.

DUMBO - i'm sorry but the pink elephants used to give me the willies. They still do, I watched part of it a few months back and when it got to the pink elephants it's like I was experiencing post traumatic stress

HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER - I've only seen this film once but more than one scene in this movie was truly scary - because it was really a raw portrayal

THEATER OF BLOOD - not a scary movie, but poodle pie anyone? I dunno, i was always kind of squeamish where animals were concerned - whenever somebody's pet got it.

I'm totally blanking out but something else i either read or saw recently got me having to do with cannibalism. It seems like someone was eating food and the other person told them it was their children - maybe Titus? I think that was it. not scary but I think the "creepiness" factor always gets me more than the swinging axes.

Well....sometimes

I have wanted to see Theatre of Blood ever since I saw it in this movie review book we had when I was in high school...the plot sounded great and Vincent Price was in it.  I still haven't found and not available through netflix either...

However, when you just mentioned poodle pie, I remember being a kid...probably 8 or 9 and seeing this fat guy calling for his babies (his poodles) and then eating his dogs without even knowing it.  I remember feeling so sick from that.  I don't remember anything else of that movie and what it was, but that image stayed with me ever since and I am 30 now.  Could this possibly be theatre of Blood?  Or is there another movie similar to that?

No, loyal1. Unless there is another movie out there just like "Theatre of Blood," what you are describing is from "Theatre of Blood."

Loyal1,

Theatre of Blood is available on DVD for under $10 as part of a double feature. I bought it awhile back, and it is a fun movie. I found my copy at deepdiscountdvd.com, but I'm sure it's also available elsewhere.

Responding to Susan's query, yes, that would be "Titus," w/ direction and screenplay by Julie Taymor, who would do "The Lion King" on Broadway. Based on "Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare. Arguablely, the worst play Shakespeare ever wrote, but containing one of the greatest black characters in Elizabethean literature, Aaron the Moor.

There are only two times that I can remember being actually scared by a movie. One was when I was a little kid my step dad finally let me stay up and watch the late movie which happen to be a horror. The movie was raw-headed-rex I believe was the name of it.  I can remember sitting in my bed later that night crying because I thought I was going to be eaten.
Later my wife and I had watched the movie "They" movie in itself not that scary, about these little creatures that can appear from anyplace that is dark and drag you back to their world. After the movie the wife and I were laying on the bed talking about the movie  in the dark and our door was open. With the stealth a ninja would be proud of, our son somehow managed to come in the room and get on the edge of the bed without us knowing. At about the same time my wife and I look up to see this silhouette standing above us at the end of the bed....I can never in my life remember my heart actually skipping a beat from fear. I am not ashamed to say I squilled like a girl lol.
