For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.

    To be fair, Event Horizon scared me as an adult.

    In the vein of “kids are stupid”, the Never-Ending Story scene with the sphinxes.

    Ernest scared stupid… Don’t ask me why, I just remember I couldn’t watch it entirely, and I would hide behind my older brothers. It just freaked me out!

      The part where the girl checked under her bed, then she looked back up and the monster was in the bed with her… That was the part that got me.

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I went for the cartoon characters. The reveal for Judge Doom near the end was terrifying.

    When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don’t love them.

    The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max’s dream…those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.

    The Ring was a big one because my “friend” called and did the whole “seven days…” thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.

    Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.
