twistedmentat posted:Yes! My dad had this big book of weird stuff from Life or Reader Digest that had stuff about future tech (this was from the 70s so it was talking about stuff that is either commonplace, supplanted, or dead end), historical oddities and the last section was about paranormal stuff, and the section on Nostradamus freaked me out, especially his last one with the line "in the year 99 of 1900 from the sky will come the great king of terror" or something like that, and that terrified me because it suggested to me that in 1999 there would be either a nuclear war or a comet will hit the earth and I'd be dead in about a decade. Oh man, I had these world almanacs from the mid-70s that were already 10 years out of date by the time I got them. I don't remember how they came into my possession, but I definitely remember a section on future predictions and there were lots of cryptic apocalyptic predictions that would have occurred around the time of the new millennium. That Nostradamus one was definitely in there, and I remember a Criswell prediction about a "black rainbow encircling the planet that would rob it of oxygen and kill all life on Earth" that would have occurred in 1999 that scared little Elf. I also seem to recall those books explaining the Mayan calendar and 2012 as the definite date of doom if all other predictions failed. Also, seeing these commercials constantly during the summer when I'm just trying to watch The Price is Right without fear  :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7veciQZgYo These books own, btw. And just to add to that, the Unsolved Mysteries theme. Holy gently caress it still gives me goosebumps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnOeIFx3ML8

This weird poo poo from Sesame Street did my head in https://youtu.be/eI5gyxiKChI My distant memory of seeing it exactly once is I was watching tv with no one else in the room and something about the stark moog sound effects and those faces changing and nothing else absolutely freaked me out and I ran screaming out of the room nope nope nope. I couldn’t have been more than 2 or 3 and I think I tried to describe it to my mom who was like what? Faces changing? I thought it was trying to take control of my brain.

When I was a kid a children’s book came out called The Flat Man. Dude had a hateful rear end face and would slip under the door and window and just stare at (maybe berate) some little boy. It freaked me the gently caress out despite loving horror from a very young age. Nothing scares me now. I think exposure to all the weird poo poo in the 80s and 90s desensitized me. Except tornadoes. Tornadoes are very scary.

omg that was awful. I didn't see it forever but like 15 years ago or so I was on dxm and watched it for the first time. I had no idea it was a Spielberg film and it ended up being quite magical. Definitely Spielbergish. The beginning started of very sweet and adventurous... and it kinda went bad fast. Excellent movie.

Saw that in 8th grade, after having already read several Stephen King books. Apparently I was not ready for the visuals becaue I had to sleep with the light on for like a month.

haljordan posted:HBO made an original movie about the hostages during the Iranian embassy siege (not the ones who escaped) and whenever they were moved around, they were completely covered in head to toe in duct tape except for a tiny slit for breathing. Definitely scary poo poo to young me. I hope they played "Pretty Woman" or any other Roy Orbison song during the reenactments.

When I was a little guy my older sister wanted to watch Exorcist, and I started whinging and crying because I didn't want to watch a scary movie. She told me it was a comedy to shut me up, and I sat and watched it and laughed my rear end off the whole time. Kinda goes against the spirit of the thread, but it's a really weird memory. I've watched it about a half dozen times since then and I still think it's funny. It's like she hypnotized me or something.

Fire In the Sky is a bizarre one because it's largely not an alien abduction/horror movie. From what I remember, most of the film is actually a really decent drama piece about the whole town suspecting Walton's work buddies of killing and disappearing him. Lie detector tests and all. But drat if it doesn't have one of the most viscerally horrifying alien abduction/experimentation scenes in it. I think I watched it with my Dad, and my Mom yelled at him for it because it gave me nightmares for weeks.
