Alf. That bloody ventriloquism dummy.
I had this bizarre nightmare where said dummy where mass produced and used as teachers and similar jobs. But they turned out to be unsuitable, and dangerous. However, as these dummies were attached to rolling cabinets (which enabled them to spin in place), people could just roll them out.
They still had to be destroyed (seeing as the bloody thing were alive!), so for some reason, they were placed in long rows, and started electrocuting them. My dream ended with me seeing them spinning, arms up in pain, their fingers turned into long claws.
I think my Autonomatonophobia started with that nightmare, which were inspired by that episode of Alf.

Me as well, but I loved it!Timotei said:
OT: The Witches movie based on the book by Roald Dahl, and the Child's Play series. That last one I still avoid at all costs, I got traumatized by it at the age of 4.
Full Metal Jacket. When I was maybe 4-5, I walked past my mom watching it at the scene where Vincent D'Onofrio was in the bathroom before he shot the drill sergeant and then himself. Scarred me till I sat and watched it as a 14 yr old.
Darby O'Gille and the Little People. The Banshee freaked me the hell out.
This was back when Disney wasn't afraid to make you shit yourself in terror.

Starship Troopers, I used to have nightmares of Zerg rushes.
The first few episodes of Buffy, too. Guess I had lower standards for special effects.

I wouldn't say scarred, per say, but that movie Sybil was pretty freaky towards the end.
I was the same way with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had nightmares way back when, but last year when I watched it, it was just macabre, not really scary.Smagmuck_ said:
