For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.
A Watership Down. Fucking trauma for years.
Fire in the Sky Just no. I couldn’t even look at an image of a grey alien for years. Had to look away during the opening credits of X-files because they flashed an image of a grey. I got over it. I actually rewatched it during the pandemic lock-in. It holds up pretty well.
Blair witch project. I really thought it was real founded footage
Oh wow, yeah Event Horizon is not a good movie to see in your youth haha. That’s intense!
For me, I didn’t get to see the whole movie, but I walked into the living room while my parents were watching Hostel and I saw the achilles tendon scene. That imagery still haunts me to this day. Grew up to love horror, though!
Actually not the OP just thought that this community needed some love. That said I do have a very distinct memory of having one of those two for one DVDs with Event Horizon on one side and some fairly tame solar flare-themed PG-13 disaster movie on the other side that I watched ALL the time. Definitely would’ve been a shock to go from the latter to the former but I don’t think I ever did.
