For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.
The Haunting (1963) b/w spook house horror Had a lot experience with Monster Films from Jack Arnold (Tarantula) and Godzillas, but this hit totally unexpected. Didnt help i was watching it in the middle of the night on TV.
To be fair, Event Horizon scared me as an adult.
In the vein of “kids are stupid”, the Never-Ending Story scene with the sphinxes.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I went for the cartoon characters. The reveal for Judge Doom near the end was terrifying.
The voice really… fucking hell!
The first scene of Willow
its actually quite a dark scene for a kids movie
Threads, Growing up near Sheffield and watched it when I was about 12…
Quick! Let’s name a social network after it!
When I was quite a bit younger, The Mask freaked me right out. On top of the Goosebumps episode about a mask overtaking you, I straight up refused to put any on for the longest time. Still don’t love them.
The start of the Goofy Movie, during Max’s dream…those dark vibes hit me hard. Would wait in the bathroom until it was done.
The Ring was a big one because my “friend” called and did the whole “seven days…” thing. Before we had caller IDs. The same friend made me watch Darkness Falls, and I think I repressed it all because I remember nothing about it other than hating the whole experience.
Not much of a scary movie fan to this day. Go figure.
