For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.
Darby O’Gill and the Little People. (Look it up.) 😉
Highly recommend the Corridor Digital “VFX Artists React” series episodes where they talk about Darby O’Gill. It’s fascinating how they did a lot of the effects.
Thanks for the heads-up! Those 3 guys are a little over-caffeinated for my tastes, but I should try and find that original making-of doc! 😏

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.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
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.
You are welcome, my good man
The Wizard of Oz. Flying monkeys, evil witch, big green head.
