The Thing was actually the first movie my family owned on DVD. I was so desperate to watch it and couldn't find it on VHS, so I convinced my dad to finally buy a DVD player. He held out as long as he did because he thought DVDs would be replaced by mini-disks aaaaaannnyyyy day now.
So much of it was nightmare fuel, it's hard to choose, but I think it was the scene where Dorothy's friends have been turned into ornaments that haunted me the most.
I was way little, like maybe 5, when the first Jumanji came out. We saw it in theater: the moving plants and giant mosquitos scared the absolute fuck out of me.
Parents had to take me out of the showing, and snuck me into Toy Story instead - much better! :D
The opening scene for Terminator 2: Judgement Day. I already had a deep seated fear of spontaneous combustion, so watching that didn't help in the slightest.
It's only a mild trauma, but I couldn't sleep after Spy Kids and Monsters, Inc and was especially scared of the Robot Kids appearing in the dark for a few years.
I think this is due to me being too young to be able to catch the plot twists in the end. So those movies to me ended with no changes and the bad guys still doing well.
Watched beastmaster, purely because I had seen my Mum and older siblings watching it, and it looked pretty harmless at first glance, something like He-Man which I liked at the time.
I asked a bunch but was always told no, so one day I snuck down in the middle of the night to watch it, needless to say, it was not like He-Man.
For me it was the original blob (which was back then already vintage almost) and this fucked me. I never actually turned anything off except when some of the neighbors gave me a „cool movie about cars“ and then the rat and bucket scene of fast and furious made me turn it off.
