As a kid? Arachnaphobia. I mean Jesus...

As an adult? Alpha Dog. There's a single scene in there I just wasn't ready for.

As a kid I watched Hell Raiser to this day I'm terrified by brain surgery and mental institutions.

I watched Urotsukidoji few months back with some friends and not-friends "f0r teh Lulz"

...

Never again. Never again. So many nightmares. Like...7. That's like...6 more than I usually get in a multi-month timespan. I wouldn't say it scared me or traumatized me, it just...well...yeah. Maybe a little trauma. More temporary pyschological shutdown, but yeah. Don't look it up.

OP beat me to it. Antichrist had me feeling very strange for days after I saw it.

Despite being exposed to a number of horror movies as a child, the only one that truly bothered me was Candyman. Perhaps it was because I grew up in a neighborhood reminiscent of the South Chicago ghettos, but there was just something about that film that did not go away once the tape had ended.

Later in my teens I watched the movie "Green Street Hooligans" where Frodo moves to England and gets embroiled in the life of football hooliganism. There was a scene very early on in the film that depicted a street brawl between two clubs and one part in particular where one man was slamming another man's head into a short metal pole. All the while I'm thinking "this is the type of shit that leaves brain damage, how can someone inflict that amount of pain over something as arbitrary as supporting a different team?" My mum and I watched it together and we both had dreams about it that evening, and we were both disturbed by the violence of that subculture. I know there are far more disturbing football hooligan films out there (Rise of the Foot Soldier for example), but "Green Street Hooligans" was my first.

The last movie to disturb me was the 2008 French horror film "Martyrs" which can best be summed up as taking all the Saw and Hostel movies, adding them together, then multiplying the product by 100. The film is absolutely unrelenting in its brutality and worst of all is that it's applied to a likable heroine, unlike in the Saw films where everyone is an unlikable fuckwit. I only thank God that I saw it on 4/20 so I was absolutely blitzed, which helped dull the shock and horror of the film, but not enough to keep the film from occupying my mind for weeks afterward.

Also, Requiem for a Dream was like getting hit in the face with a board for two hours.
Is it weird that this statement makes me want to see Reqiuem For A Dream?

OT: I saw Ginger Snaps: Unleashed when I was about ten and, whilst not particularly scary or even disturbing, it kinda fucked with my head for the duration of the film. More the institution she's confined to than anything, though. That group masturbation session was weird as shit.

Guess it would have helped my understanding of the film if I had seen the first one. I just gathered that Ginger was the werewolf and the protagonist, her sister, was gradually becoming one too. Come to think of it, I can't even remember half of it...

EDIT: Looking back through some of the posts, I'm making a mental note to punch and run away from anyone who suggests that I watch 'Antichrist'. I don't know shit about it and I'm already uncomfortable.

The Brave Little Toaster....you guys know what scene I mean, right?
No I do not, since there were quite a few scenes in that movie that messed me up. Like, over half of the scenes in that movie give me nightmares.

I think Brave Little Toaster is one of my favorite kids films, ever since I rewatched it relatively recently. Kind of like how Majora's Mask has been my favorite Zelda game ever since I saw that Ben creepypasta.

Scary Movie 3.

Yep.

Don't know why, the messed up faces really wrecked me. I'm fine now. I actually laughed at the most recent Friday the 13th.

Spiderman 3. I had such high hopes...and then it crash landed. And the dance scene. Oh, god the dance scene.

Seriously, Munich was pretty good. Also, some of Alexander Aja's earlier works.

I'd have to say Watership Down, too. I saw that back in around 1988. Around five years old. I was never quite the same really...

I would say Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I happily concede that it is a very well made movie, but that said, I fucking hate it and never want to see it again.

It's very atmospheric, but the atmosphere is claustrophobic and makes me really uncomfortable when watching it.

I'd recommend seeing it, but I have no intention to ever see it again.
I watched that movie whilst under the effects of a certain plant and I must say it was the freakiest thing I have ever witnessed

I watched George Romero movies and resident evil games when they were scary when i was seven. Scared the crap out of me, i even slept underneath my bed in fear of zombies attacking my house. Not a bad idea now that I think about it...

Watership Down messed me up a bit, I think. I saw it when I was around 5 years old back in 1984.

I don't think it's a kids movie.


LOL

The music makes it a bit epic, eh?
HORY. SHET.

I have the book sitting behind me right now, I suddenly want to read it.

OT: I got an epic recurring night terror after watching 1408.

Basically, I thought I was trapped in a series of vents while The Carpenters plays.

I can't find the relevant vent sequence on YouTube, but I can explain the Carpenters playing (I'll never listen to "We've Only Just Begun" the same way again).
