I fell in love with a Video Nasty
I've tried to no avail to find this online, but when I was a kid, there was this anti-AIDS PSA that would air during saturday morning cartoons that would freak me the hell out. It was all vasoline cam style, and would completely slut-shame this one girl as the main character. She's at a dance and keeps switching partners while the narrator talks about what a dangerous lifestyle she led. The dancing gets jerkier and more distressing, til the last partner turns around with her and the camera zooms in on him revealing he's DEATH!!! It sounds hokey now, but it was right up there with that drug dealer that turns into a snakeman one.

HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS
When I was a kid me and my sister used to share computer games. The old Nancy Drew games on PC had so many ways to brutally injure or kill poor Nancy from falling through floors or getting hit by a Rollercoaster.

Also a lot of people are scared of the ReDeads from Ocarina of Time but the ones from Wind Waker made me shut my console off and stop playign for months.

After watching Tremors as a 7 year old kid, I became (quietly, of course) hysterical whenever anyone made any loud noises for fear those worm monsters would come find us. We lived in a very populated non-desert suburb of Houston.

I'm sure this contributed to my parents not letting me watch PG-13 movies until I was 17 with my own car, where they decided they couldn't stop me anyway.

but the worst memory was my clown doll. It was large, and my mom put it in the chair right next to my door (This was when I was about 8 or 9). I was terrified of that drat thing. I imagined that it would come to life in the dead of night, scamper to my bed, and kill me in my sleep. I eventually managed to damage it enough that mom got decided it couldn't be repaired any longer and finally got rid of it. When I saw Poltergeist, all that came flooding back.

Very interesting.....

I played through the second half of EarthBound without sound on because stuff like the cave music, the creepy jingle that plays when you investigate odd things and the tune that announced Pokey's presence/somebody being kidnapped all freaked the hell out of me. In my second playthrough, I found out playing with the sound off was a terrible mistake.

Doom 2's Icon of Sin level also freaked me out a lot. The wall of faces, the music, the backmasked introduction to the boss - they were all pretty scary to a nine-year-old.

I know this is from page 1 but holy poo poo this thing scared the crap out of me as a kid. All I could remember of this show was that it had a creepy purple dude in it who scared kids. I had no idea what it was called or even what it was about so I couldn't google it and had basically convinced myself I had imagined it. Now thanks to forums user Oldrocket_27 I know that I did not imagine it and it was very real.

So thanks for reminding me of a traumatic childhood experience I guess :shrug:

There was a GHOST here.
It's gone now.
The furry carwash! When I was five or six, we had one of those carwashes near us that had the big, fleecy rollers that would go over the hood and across the windows. My mom and teenage sister convinced me it was a monster that was trying to get into the car. I knew on some level it wasn't true, but in the back of my mind there was an if.

The other was It, which I saw when I was two. That seems inappropriate, but I loved horror movies and being scared. I remember seeing Alien 3 in theaters when I was four because I loved the first two, insisting my mom watch our VHS copy of Return of the Living Dead with me when I was five, hiding under my dad's chair while watching The Innocents at six (when I was the one to put it on), things like that. For some very weird reason, It in particular was the only one to scare the absolute poo poo out of me. Didn't stop me from watching it over and over, but the terror lasted for DAYS.

We were on vacation and were staying at a cabin. "The Godfather" was on. My folks made me go to the bedroom with no TV because they said it was too violent for me. Instead I just heard it through the door, which made it much worse. I was so nervous and scared that I still have never seen it.

Have you seen Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, or any Scorsese movie?

If so those are all scarier and gorier than The Godfather.

No. Krusty looks nothing like the clown in Poltergeist. It's gotta be a scary clown, like Pennywise or Poltergeist. Krusty is a good clown, who has small feet, like all good people.

I used to be very scared of seeing burnt people after a particular scene from a movie I never got the name.
Some poor dude catches on fire and there's two fellas trying to stop it with their coats I guess. Then it cuts to a scene where he's in a hospital all hosed up and moaning.

Holy poo poo this little creep gave me nightmares when I was a kid. Something about tiny monsters in movies done with puppets/practical effects is really unsettling.

not trying to meme it up here but the old episode of the Simpsons where Bart had to sleep in that insane clown bed freaked me out when I was younger:



but later Krusty showed up and taught me that clowns can have positive lasting impact on one's life
