(I still liked Alien, The Thing, and House on Haunted Hill as a kid though)
 
When I was about 10, a group of us had a slumber party in my friend's basement. For some reason, just before bed, someone decided we should watch Aliens for the first time. We only made it about 30-40 minutes into the movie; pretty much watched the first attack before turning in.

I didn't get much sleep that night. :rolling:
 
Aliens. Chest-bursting, eject tape screaming.

Jaws. Dude gets eaten while his leg floats to the ocean floor, eject tape screaming.

Jurassic Park. Ripped off the shitter, eject tape screaming.

Hell, even Braveheart sent me into spastic fits, like when seeing Wallace totally lop off that English twit's head in one of the battles.

I can't remember the exact ages I was when seeing these, but I do recall a pretty consistent pattern of watching violent movies with my parents, freaking out, and then hearing them try to stifle their uncontrollable laughter as they attempted to calm me down.

...Evil people. :|
 
I dont remenber about a movie disturbing me as a litle kid,since I loved movies whit creatures and people shooting them,practically everything that have a cool creature that kills people I loved it,like starship troopers that I first watched it when I was like 8 and loved it
also jaws,everytime I could I watched it,tough after watching it recently I realized I almost forgot the whole movie

so I dont know
 
It didn't disturb me, but when I was ten the gunfights in the Untouchables were the coolest ****ing things I had ever seen. The one on the staircase, on the roof of that building...

They still are.

The only thing that disturbed me as a child was one scene of a movie, I don't even know which one- some woman had to eat an eyeball and spaghetti with a chicken foot. It still haunts me :|
 
When I was 5 I walked out of Bravestarr. The villain in it scared the hell out of me. Not Hex, the other...thing. It was some kinda mechanical ghost bull thing.

Poltergeist.

I was facing the back of my chair in the theater for 85% of Jurassic Park. I'd been so psyched to see it because I loved dinosaurs, but I was not prepared for watching them trounce around and tear the shit out of people.

Edit: I found a picture of the thing from Bravestarr.

**** this thing.
 
I always thought Jurassic park was awesome. THe earliest I remember is five or six, being confused when my dad was tryign to explain CGI to me. I don't remember if I saw it in theaters.
 
I saw the Hills Have Eyes last summer and almost threw up in the theatre, if that counts.
 
The Blob kept me up late at night as a kid. If I kept my bed in the center of the room (as opposed to along a wall), however, I was safe from the Blob. Alien scared me pretty bad, but they didn't give me nightmares.
 
Mentioned this in another thread, but Killer Clowns From Outer Space and Terminator 2 both gave me hella nightmares as a kid. Dad was pretty liberal about what he let me watch so I'm sure there's more...

Saw Jurassic Park like 50 times without flincing once, though. Dinosaur obsession ftw :D
 
Nightmare Before Christmas gave me a pretty scary nightmare. But the movie itself didn't really scare me, if I remember correctly.

The Large Marge scene in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure was and still is scary as ****.

I never really saw any horror movies when I was young.

I was this close |-| to putting Killer Klowns from Outer Space on my list. My cousin wanted to watch a scary movie, and it was between Child's Play and Killer Klowns. Figured I wouldn't be as scared of Killer Klowns...

that idea backfired. Chucky wasn't even 1/4 as scary as those things, fvckin' wrapping people up in cotton candy and drinking their innards through straws. Goddamned clowns.

Damn, forgot about that part D:!

Reeeeally need to track down a copy and put some repressed, terrified memories to rest. Or just get freaked out all over again :rolling:
 
Beauty and the Beast.


I was screaming for the guys to kill that monster thing. D:

I forgot to put that one down, the remake scared me so much!
 
Urban Legends.

That's the only movie I can remember that I was scared in. I'm sure I was scared during other movies but that's the only movie I think of when I consider when I was scared. D: I remember watching it at a friend's house ages ago and I put my hands in front of my eyes but I did it so that it wasn't obvious.

I would've been like 11 or so when I watched it, I think.
 
Time Bandits by Terry Gilliam.

I was scared of the parts where they were going through a wall or something. I haven't seen the film since I was young though, so I can't remember much.

EDIT - wow someone else already posted it.
 
There was a film called "The Prophecy" which was shown on TV when I was a kid, It must have been of mid to late 70s vintage. The premise was that a research team had gone off to hunt a mutant bear and, naturally, a few of them get bumped off along the way. The funny thing is, I saw the film when I was in my late teens and it was completely laughable. I had to deal with the indignity of seeing a movie whose terror factor had reached near mythic proportions in my mind reduced to a B-list craptathalon (the bear was claymation, FFS).

But what really got me was Large Marge in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." I was tense for several hours after seeing that.

Yup, Large Marge was claymation too. Funny the shit that scares you when you're young.
 
Ghostbusters.

That part when the ghost leaps at the Ghostbusters in the library scared the shit out of me. I watched the rest of the movie peeking out from behind the chair.

Of course, after that I fell in love with it. I don't think I've ever really been disturbed or scared by another movie. Maybe a little by Alien.

Jurassic Park was the shit. My parents were reluctant to let me go, even though I had already read the book.
 
My dad, the insufferable jerk that he is, was watching this horror movie or something on Christmas Eve when I was 7/8 or something like that. All I know is it scared the living shit out of me, and I kept darting out of the room and begging my dad to put something festive on. He looked down into my sad little face and said: "REQUEST DENIED."

Also, my Uncle took me to the Cinema to see Jurassic Park, and I started crying when poor ol' Donald Gennaro got whipped off the pooper by Rex.
 
Jurassic Park was awesome you pansies. :p


But there was some "children's movie" about some girls in the forest with one being possessed by a witch, and it freaked the non-sensical **** out of me.

I saw Jurassic Park when my parents rented it when it came out on VHS. They had friends over that night, and I was tired so I just went into their room and laid down on the bed. I decided to turn on the their TV and play the movie while I went to sleep. With the lights off, and the blankets covering me, I started getting into the movie. I think I was the most scared I ever have been in my life when I saw the power go out in the park, and the goat go missing in the T-Rex cage. After awhile I was so ****ing scared that I covered my head in the blankets and started crying.


**** that was such a good movie.


Also, Are You Afraid of The Dark shows scared me, because I pretty much watched them under the same conditions. Alone, in the dark, late at night, laying on my parents bed.

Oh, and Pet Sematary scared the living shit out of me when I was young.


EDIT: And some freaky ass cartoon movies scared me a lot too. All Dogs Go to Heaven, the evil guy was a scary mother ****er. And another animation I cant really remember. All I can remember now is that it had machines that were chopping down the forest, and the evil guy was like, a smog cloud that came from the machines.
