What movies scared you when you were little that you didn’t watch till you were an adult

SoulMan.

Helter Skelter scared the shite out of me when I was a kid

The Goonies

Not a movie, but Salem's Lot miniseries.

I’ve said this before on here, but Silver Bullet absolutely fricked me up as a kid.

And of course Jaws. The movie itself didn’t scare me but it damn sure affected me literally every time I was in deep enough water. There were times I’d be swimming in a pool at night and freak out a little in the back of my mind about that shark.

Child’s Play when I was a kid. It’s a comedy now.

For me, it was Frankenstein (1931). It aired on regular television in the early 70’s when I was young, and my parents were watching it with my oldest siblings. I snuck out of bed to get a glass of water, and I was jealous that my older siblings got to watch a movie with my parents! That was a rare occurrence!

I caught the scene where the monster is with the little girl who gives him a flower by the lake. The visual of that scene, knowing that tragedy is about to strike, and the pure innocent ignorance of the young girl who is about to be killed, oh my god, I was haunted by that scene.

I didn’t know watch the whole movie until I was in my 50’s!

I had nightmares off and on for months after watching The Relic when I was around 12 or 13, so I wasn't that little but not sure why it got to me so much.

The original Evil Dead rattled me pretty good.

The exorcist.

Too scared to watch as a kid, but now I would have a beer with pazuzu. dude is legit funny
