What film were you WAY too young to watch?

[Swan]

A Nightmare on Elm Street. I was poorly and off school at my aunts and begged her to watch her vhs of it, she gave in, i was 9. That's where my love of Horror movies started though, and i've never looked back.

^^ Sticking with the Freddy Krueger theme...

Mine was Wes Craven’s New Nightmare that my sister showed me when I was about 6 years old. Absolutely traumatised for weeks.

I was too scared to sit on the sofa, ride in the car, use the phone incase Freddy’s hand/tongue appeared from out of nowhere. I can distinctly remember the sheer terror I felt! :joker:

Bates Motel
Pet cemetery
And According to my uncle, Ferris Buehler's Day off because of the swearing lol

Witches of Eastwick - about nine or ten :joker:

I watched a lot of 18-rated films from about age 8 onwards - stuff like Terminator, Total Recall, Predator, Robocop, Alien/Aliens, the Rambo movies... 80's/early 90's gory action stuff basically.

The only thing that really stuck with me is really random - the scene in "The Fly" where he armwrestles the guy in a bar and the guy's bone snaps and comes out the side of his arm. I was ****ing shook. Dunno what it is about broken bones - we watched "Frozen" ("trapped genre" horror with teenagers stuck on a ski lift, not Disney hijinx) and while I'm rarely bothered at all - I could not watch when the broken leg bone came out through the skin.

TBF I actually saw this happen to a kid on my street IRL when I was quite young when he was knocked off his bike by a car. Maybe that's it :joker:. Scarred.

I remember Resident Evil and Dawn of the Dead (2004) being films I used to love watching at a young age, purely because I knew I shouldn’t have been doing so. However, now, in particular Dawn of the Dead, that novelty has obviously gone which weakens the films. :(

I was about 11 when i watched New Nightmare, and i agree it was terrifying experience. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality really messed with my head at the time :laugh:

I've seen it since, and i still feel that sense of unease watching. Really well made, and clever film.

Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street, I Know What You Did Last Summer, a bunch of non-horrors full of violence and swearing that we loved watching on sleepovers.

Salems Lot. Especially with my evil brother

Salems Lot. Especially with my evil brother

:joker:

I used to do that with my younger brother. Make him watch a scary film and then piss myself laughing when he'd sh*t himself.

Then again, it didn't take much. He went through a phase of being petrified of Dobby from Harry Potter.

I'm the same. The ending of Saw 5 always gets me, when Agent Strahm gets crushed to death by the walls and he attempts to escape through the ceiling, only for his arm to break and you see his bone sticking out and blood pouring down as he screams in pain. I can never watch that scene these days, which is odd considering I used to watch it casually when I was 14. :laugh:

Same really,but was mostly ghost face I use to watch.

[Daniel-X]

The first horror film I watched was called The Uninvited when I was about nine years old and after that I was a huge horror fan till about 2012. True crime documentaries sometimes play on my mind but horrors have never tended to.

I played GTA too from being really really young.

The only thing that did scare me as a kid was Chucky despite never watching any Child’s Play films. Just images and stories of him used to scare me :laugh:
