Neon Genesis: End of Evangelion

I wasn't so much a kid anymore, but it was the first time I ever had any mental scarring as the result of a movie.
Oh God yes. That movie was just disturbingly Freudian. I was never so relieved to have run out of time on Megavideo.

I watched 28 Days Later when I was 9 or 10 (well, parts of it, anyway). I had nightmares about zombies for years after that.
Oh god I loved that movie but still the fear it caused...

Seven years old, afraid of elevators... and watches Resident Evil with the crazy elevators that kill people... oh and the flesh eating zombies.

I didn't sleep well that night.

that one death scene in a nightmare on elm street where the was sleeping in bed with her boyfriend and she's being killed in her dreams (she's the first one to die in the movie)
and final destination where the teacher was reaching up for the towel and pulls the knife set down and they impale her

Courage the Cowardly Dog, scared me quite a bit.
Yes, yes, yes. The episode where the old man (I don't know what his English name is) turned into a bird by eating weird eggs...
Still scares me.

Also, there's Gremlins. Seeing a man dressed up to go Santa Clausing screaming for somebody to help him...
Not to mention the old woman who goes out to chase carollers away and thinks the gremlins are devils from Hell sent to come get her... Having been rasied in a conservative Christian household, I was scared out of my wits by this.

I have 2 words for you:

PINK. MOTHERFUCKING. (adding a third) ELEPHANTS.

If you don't already know what I'm talking about, don't bother asking.
Gave me nightmares as well. I feel your pain.

First and foremost, The Exorcist. I had nightmares about faces on the walls for months afterwards. (Why my mother allowed me to watch it may forever remain a mystery.)

Secondly, The Ren and Stimpy Show, which I'm fairly certain is primarily responsible for how fucked up I am currently.

Devil's Advocate, From Dusk till Dawn and several other horror movies. Would blame my family, but the fact I willingly submitted myself to playing Resident Evil and such late in the evenings just proves I was too stupid for my own good at the time :p (I blame the gameplay, puzzles were fun!)

Anyone aged 18 or older from the UK is sure to at least have a vague inkling of the satire show Spitting Image, on ITV, back in the early Nineties and late Eighties. Being a kid born in 1990, I was little more than a toddler when Spitting Image ended, but through those first few years whenever my parents were watching it I would be scared stiff by the puppets. It wasn't even a scary show, it was a comedy satire show using latex puppets of politicians and celebrities to poke fun at them. But those puppets were fuck-ugly, and scared the hell out of me as a little kid.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

As a child the scene where the evil queen turns into the old hag used to freak me out! My dad always had to fast forward that bit.
Me too. In fact, as a child an relative of mine kept bugging her dad to take her to the movies. He took her to see Snow White, and after being traumatized by that scene she didn't ask her dad to take her to the movies anymore.

You know, writing this has made me realize that we live in a time very different from then, when going to the movies to see an old fairy tale was still possible. Not a Shrek parody-version of it, just an old fairy tale. *sigh* Those were different times...

The Doctor Who "Blink" Episode.

Fuck me, that was probably one of my favorite episodes [and the doctor only had like 10 minutes of screen time!], very good director, but it still scares the shit outa me.

The most recent thing that scared the crud out of me is Felidae. Look it up on Youtube, I just recently learned of it, and it's just really really weird and creepy.

Also, The Watership Down is also very weird. What were people smoking to make such novels as Felidae and Watership Down?

When i was about 13-14 i got pretty creeped out when i watched the Alien films late at night at a friends house for some reason- had a few nightmares for the next week or so but that passed and watching them now just makes me feel daft that i ever felt scared by it.

Jaws, because of that movie I really hate sharks, not sure why, but I can't even stand digital sharks like the ones in Crysis
