MemberJust a fun question…growing up, what childhood movies were you afraid of? For instance, I was terrified of the movie Dumbo. The clowns scared the crap out of me and it was very sad…I hated it as a kid!
What about you? What kids movie were you afraid of or hated as a child??
MemberI used to have a recurring nightmare about the evil queen from Snow White. That movie scared the crap out of me!
MemberWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I had it in my head that it was a really scary movie that was intended for adults. No idea why. Those oompa loompas don’t help whatsoever.

MemberI somehow managed to watch both Aliens and Night of the Living Dead when I was like 10 and found them to be terrifying…hahahaha
ETA: Forgot my Fiance has this hilarious (for me, not him obviously…haha) story about how when he was little his aunt accidently taped the creepy killer clown movie “IT” over a copy of children’s singer Raffi in concert and he watched it. He is freaked out by clowns/spiders to this day and tells this story a lot. I feel bad but he tells the story so well I can’t help but laugh every time!
MemberET. I was confused about the beginning and end, so it freaked me out. I didn’t realize he was getting left behind, then I didn’t get why the kid was sick and dying too.
That, and Jabba The Hut really freaked me out. Not the rest of Star Wars, just good ole Jabba.
MemberPinocchio & Dumbo always scared me, and I still refuse to watch either of them. lol
My dad also let me watch Pet Cemetary when I was younger, and I used to have nightmares about it. Just the thought of the old man getting the back of his foot cut makes me cringe.

MemberWe weren’t allowed to watch the disney Hercules when we were little because Hades and his little minions would have scared us.

MemberI was afraid of the movie Poltergeist, especially the clown scene. And it didn’t help that I heard that the girl who played Carol Anne died of Reye Syndrome (sp?) so then I was afraid to take aspirin. Double whammy.
MemberMemberYah I don’t know if ET scared me…I was definitely left confused though. I was too confused to be scared lol!
