…you were scared shitless because of a movie? I remember watching E.T. and being scared at the beginning of the film at a very young age (5 or 6). But the first movie that haunted me was Moontrap |

I was watching twister when I was 8, got bored.. so I switched channel and it landed right on the shot of the twin girls from the shining i probably looked a lot like danny in that scene |

Not sure about the timeline, but I think The Thing was the first scary movie I watched that shit me right up, about aged 7/8. Although, I do remember swerving watching Jaws, possibly earlier, and still remember not understanding any point of watching the threat of a shark. The whole film could have simply been avoided had those stupid cunts stayed out of the sea. You don't need a bigger boat, you need to fear and respect the dangers of the ocean. Which I think was the point when I decided to not engage in most of the imagined threats of scary movies. In all honesty the most scary film I think I have ever seen is Nil By Mouth as that is the closest reality I have seen, that the characters couldn't avoid. |

the punks in police academy 2, their zoo hideout really scared me was about 4 years old I remember |

|
|
that film looks good fun, would like to watch it |
||||||||
|
|

|

also watching aliens when I was far too young, I must have had nightmares for a month, nightmares that were scarier than the film looking back at ait |

my mum let me watch the terminator when i was about 7 or 8, the scene where arnie cuts his eye out scared / disgusted me. still loved the film though |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah first one I like more than second one, its just more of a pure film. Second one is great but the kid is a bit snotty in it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus first one has this scene |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jaws when I was 4 or 5. Have a fear of the sea now and won't swim in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The kid and the focus on this father figure element definitely make it a poorer movie imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah first one is a tighter film as well, second is a bit long winded. Yeah the tone isn't quite as good |
||||||||

The dumbest thing about the terminator sequels is how they keep sending terminators to more recent times rather than earlier in history. For the machines sending a terminator back to before anyone has any knowledge of their existence is obviously preferrable and from a story telling perspective you have increasingly smaller odds of survival and more tension if your protagonists only have the technology of the 70s, 60s, 50s etc to help them. If I had made terminator 2 I would have had the machines simply send back a second terminator to the same point as the first movie and then have it play out again but with two terminators working together, diverging and changing based on the new circumstances similar to back to the future. |

yeah send them back to the 19th century and cut the bollocks off of John Conner's ancestor or something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Terminator in the 19th century would be wicked. You'd need an army to take one down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that would be a great idea, cos they would think its witch craft, and you would have all that sub plot, plus they don't have any good weapons so they would have to use a trebuchet/cannon or something to even put a dint in him |
||||||||
|
|

|

for that experience i would watch army of darkness. i loved terminator 2 as a kid. i remember showing it to my cousins when i was like 11 and they were scared as shit (two girls, around the same age). that was one of the very few times my mother gave me a slap in the face when she found out :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but the worst thing i did, was watching "faces of death" as a kid, when i was like 12 or 13. i had a real trauma afterwards that lasted for years |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only bit that freaked me out as a kid was when the t1000 as his step mum kills his step dad with the huge arm blade through the throat |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

fucking hell that's worse than any horror movie |

yup, it fucked me up real bad :/ i got my own tv for xmas when i was around 11 and it had a cassette player built in. in summer time, once a month, there was a big flea market in our village on the parking lot of a huge furniture store. on this market you could always find this sketchy guy who sold copied video cassettes out of the trunk of his car. the covers were bad black and white copies of the real ones. i think i still have some cassettes at my parents place. he never gave me the real hard stuff, so for that i had to go to my neighbour. he came from a problematic family. his dad had this huge wooden box. one day he pulled this cassette out of the box, i snapped it and went straight home. i locked the door of my room and got thrilled and excited when i put in the cassette and pressed play. soon after i remember feeling nauseous and troubled. and at the scene with the guy on the electric chair i lost it. i remember opening my door and going outside. the world seemed to have lost some of its colours. it was like someone played with the saturation, suddenly everything was grey… for a long time |

Favourited for later. Cheers. There is a film I'd like to mention that sticks in my memory of recent years. For the life of me I can't remember the title, but it was quite graphic, and incredibly psychotic with little nature to the spark of the horror other than someone psychotic enough to feel nothing of being barbaric. I only watched it because it had a 20/30 minute or so continous scene shot in one take. It was odd that none of the images meant anything to me and I spent the entire time intrigued at how it was done. It's not a good movie but technically very well done. |

now, i wanna know what film that is. i found moontrap through googling everything i remember, like: dead body, spaceship, horror, scifi, weird machine. i was so happy when i found it. i remember having this dreamy washed out memory of an animation film with weird creatures and and eerie atmosphere. i googled and googled and found: Les Maîtres du temps! I was so happy, i thought i had just dreamed it, but it was a real memory don't get your hopes too high for moontrap, though. its definitely a b-movie but it feeds the nostalgic urge with pre CG 80s vibes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Found it! It's called I think it is done almost entirely in realtime with no edits way longer than the 20/30 minutes I said before. It's not a good film, but still memorable for its delivery like Cannibal Holocaust. |

reminds me slightly of twenty palms by bruno dumont |

retroactive abortion… such a good name for a Schlagergruppe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah for whatever reason moontrap was shown in the daytime when i was a kid though it was clearly showing lots of horrific splatter and being generally sinister til the end. kinda helped setting the foundation for a serious sci-fi horror and alien franchise fixation |

The Exorcist, when the girl comes down to the dinner party and has a wee on the floor. It was like surreal horror and really shocked me me. |
