That is so funny

Mine is worse. I saw the movie Commando when I was like 2 or 3, and when the garbage men kill the guy who's taking the trash out, I saw my dad bringing out the trash cans in the morning and ran outside crying and told him not to bring it.

If we're including stuff other than movies, I've written about this before...there was what I think was an SNL skit called "Gas Station Washroom" that absolutely terrified me as a kid. I think I was about 3 or 4, and it came on and I watched in horror as blood came out of the toilet and the floor opened up into hell or something like that...just really weird stuff. I remember walking around my house and thinking the floor was falling out from underneath me. Scared the frick out of me. And as I got older, I really think it was just some goofy, stupid SNL skit. I've searched time and time again for it online, and never have found it (even though I can sing some of the song ).

The Dark Crystal. They were just creepy looking.

Now I appreciate the puppets and people in suits over the CGI crap we are forced to deal with.

Think I may have found it, actually..or at least where it came from.

A comedy troup called The Frantics. Looks like they had a season of a sort of sketch comedy show in Canada that later aired on Showtime. I think this might be it..

Edward Scissorhands. I don't find it laughable now though.

I'm about to embarrass the crap out of myself by posting this. Just let it be said that I was probably about 5 years old and had an overactive imagination.

Yes, I was scared of frickin' pizza

And maybe even more embarrassing than that (if possible)

I was scared to go to the bathroom after this
