The opening scene of the original Red Dawn when the classroom gets shot up. That messed me up when I was a little kid.

When I was a kid, the Elephant Man did a real number on me, for some reason. Very traumatic.

The Exorcist truly messed me up as a child and it still sticks with me today. God, the devil. The infiltration of one's soul by an evil entity against one's will. The slow build-up of fear used to breakdown the victim's will. Knowing that you coexist with something so evil and real but you can't see or touch it and your life is ultimately left in the hands of a couple of priests whose only real weapon is prayer. frick. That. shite.

As a kid in the mid 70's The Legend of Boggy Creek scared the hell out of me. especially the part where the Bigfoot's arm reached through the window and grabbed the dude on the couch. frick that scene as of course we had a big window tight behind our couch.


Oh man. I was afraid to go to the bathroom by myself that night. I stared at the bathroom window and sat on the toilet shaking like a dog.

It really stuck in my mind for a while since my elementary and middle school had almost the exact same type of architecture as the high school in that film. One side of the classroom, ground level, made up only of windows just like that classroom.

A.I,

My friend and I went to see it in high school, and had to wait until after the credits to leave because we were bawling

ETA: Death Becomes Her

After I saw that film, I had a nightmare that I was immortal but everything had collapsed and I was just hurtling through space with never-ending consciousness. I was like 7 and went and made a pallet next to my parents bed the next 3 nights or so. Messed up

I saw return of the living dead at 4 years old, and I lived right beside a graveyard back then.

I wasnt the same afterwards. I wanted more horror.

That movie had my two favorite characters in it for the first time ever. Only for it to be the biggest disappointment ever for me. It changed how I looked at movies forever in regards to expectations and hype. Not that there aren’t some redeeming qualities to the movie, but it was pretty much a complete disaster overall and I’m still not over it.


Remember leading up to this? Those were interesting times.

Thinking about this a bit more...

1963 - Jason and the Argonauts (also starring Pussy Galore) - the skeletons popping out of the ground was a big no for me.

Honorable mention goes to ________________ starring Vincent Price. Pick one of his movies. Any one.

A.I. is an interesting choice and an insanely underrated movie.


:spoilers:




I think it would have been a better and more disturbing movie if it had ended with the boy praying uselessly - and presumably eternally - to the Blue Fairy (or whatever her name was, it’s been a while since I saw it). The coda with the aliens took away from what was a very bleak film, and also muddled its message of “religion is the only thing that offers any comfort or hope in this life, and also it is a lie, so all is hopeless and meaningless.”

Stir of Echos.

The fingernail scene. I can never watch that movie again. I cringe thinking about it.



In case you aren't familiar.

**trigger, gore***

Ex Machina ~ I thought about it for a few days afterwards. The implications for the main male character after the helicopter left.

The one that put an ache in my heart so much that I still tear up when I hear the theme song is Brian's Song ~ the true story of Bears player Brian Piccola and his friendship with Gayle Sayers.

That would’ve put us over the edge, lol. It was already a very quiet post-movie dinner at Chili’s.

Revo fricking lutionary Road

Amazing acting. A total headfrick and not in a good thriller way. It’s depressing as hell. It literally bummed out/fricked up every person that went to the theater that night at least for a couple days, some a couple weeks.

DO NOT WATCH
