Scenes That Scarred You - Blu-ray Forum

jzbadblood · 10-08-2020, 01:37 PM

Being that its October and a lot of people are binging horror flicks I was thinking of this topic. What are some scenes in movies that scarred you for life? Ones that you could never get out of your head?

One of mine is from "Silent Night Deadly Night". I don't know why I was watching this so young, but the offending scene is at the beginning when the father gets shot in the head in the car then the mother is dragged out. Seeing a kid about my age hiding in a bush watching his father get shot and mothers shirt ripped open and slashed with a knife was a lot to handle. Very dark stuff.

The ending of Sleepaway camp (1983). It was quite surreal at the time for me. It was jarring and stuck with me for quite a long time.

Be warned though, this video has content not suitable for younger viewers.

Of course, it doesn't quite have the same impact on me as it did in the past. Still a solid movie for Halloween though!

Both of these gave me nightmares for years.

From Don't Be Afraid of the Dark 73

And The Sentinel 77

The Thing and The Fly (transformation scenes).Nightmare fuel for me.

Yup. Seen this movie when I was 5-years-old. Traumatized me so much that as a grown ass man I'm still afraid to watch this by myself.

Back when I was a little kid, the USA Network would play horror movies on Saturday afternoons and I walked in on my mom and sister watching “Slugs”. Anyone that has seen this movie knows that it is surprisingly gruesome considering it’s titular monsters. The scene I caught was where a character in the sewer falls into a pit of water that is full of slugs. He pops out (reaching for help, I think), and he’s covered in blood and slugs. Not only that, but it looks like a bunch of them have burrowed underneath the skin.

I remember being in the pool not long after that scene and being afraid that slugs would come out of the filter...I was very anxious in pools for a while after that.

You have to go way back for me, but I was scared to death by "Psycho" when it was new. The three 'big' scenes (shower, staircase, cellar) had me going around for years saying it was the scariest movie of all time. I think that one 'scarred' quite a few people, at that time.

I remember being jolted mentally by a sequence near the beginning of "Hush, Hush...Sweet Charlotte", where there's a sudden (for the time, very) graphic murder.

I saw a double feature of HG Lewis' "Blood Feast" and "2000 Maniacs" at a drive-in, and although they seem cheesy now, they were shocking then for the level of gore and cruelty onscreen.

"The Exorcist" disturbed me, like almost everyone else.

An odd one is the way "The Cowboys" stuck with me back in 1972. It's not a horror film or a disturbing film, per se, but I was genuinely shocked by the big twist in that that it left me in a shaken state, afterwards.

Two of mine both involve Bruce Dern, LOL.

That "Sleepaway Camp" ending freaked me out, too, even though I was well into adulthood, by that time, LOL.

There's a scene at the beginning of "Humongous" that I still find disturbing.

The ending of "Burnt Offerings" was so creepy and left me in a strangely depressed state for a while.

Oh, I could go on and on, LOL.

I don't know if this one is still capable of affecting modern audiences, but there's no way I'm going to watch it again to find out.

The Gates of Hell

THANK YOU for putting that in a spoiler tag! I get so queasy from that scene!

Beginning of "The Ring"

dkelly26666 · 10-08-2020, 05:17 PM

I forgot one!

"The Untold Story".

I literally felt guilty after watching that one. There's a scene in that that ranks among the worst ever put to film, in my mind.

Gacivory · 10-08-2020, 05:46 PM

When I was a kid the crocodile falling and the sound it made freaked me out. I would have to leave the room, but my mom would turn the sound up.

The thing behind the dumpster in Mulholland Drive. I had to rewind and pause it to se we hat it was.

The scene in Nightmare on Elm Street where his arms stretched and he walked down the alley.

JDub1 · 10-08-2020, 06:24 PM

When I first saw Michael Myers in Halloween standing by the bushes watching Laurie and Annie freaked me out. I was 12 years old and I stopped watching the movie after that scene.

When Jason jumps out of the lake at the end of Friday the 13th and pulls the girl out of the canoe and into the lake. I was frozen with fear!!

The girl at the start of JAWS who get's eaten alive while taking a moonlight swim. Her screams were bone chilling.

The Thing, when the alien creature attacks the dogs was damn scary.
