I think a lot of these clips are NSFW.

I saw a chunk of The Thing on SciFi when I must have been about 10 or 11.  Specifically, I saw the "dog" scene, without having any idea what was going on before the dog exploded and became a factory for Thing-dogs.  I still can't watch any of the monster sequences in The Thing. They just scare the living shit right out of me. 

Anyone else?

Grew up with James Bond movies, Cross of Iron, the Peckinpah westerns, Das Boot ... I was 9 or 10 when I saw Alien and Aliens. Before watching them I was rather weary about violent/gory movies.

My parents also let me watch -when I was 6 or 7 - the "Eis am Stiel" movies or אסקימו לימון‎‎ (Eskimo Limon), a series of Israeli teenie movies popular in Germany at the time set in the 50s with gratuitious display of titties.

A movie that truly scared the bejeezus out of me was The Blob (original with Steve McQueen) when I was 6.

I always wondered why they had so many guns on a antarctic research base.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I saw part of Alien on PBS when I was....well...before first grade, I think.  I got up to the Last Supper scene and then I started crying and ran away. 

I also saw a lot of early X-Files at an early, early age.

I only saw part of it, but there was some movie on tv that had a woman in a bed and a horde of roaches were crawling around her. That brief scene left me concerned to go to sleep at night for months.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Oh, and I saw Andromeda Strain when I was ten or eleven, alone late a night in bed. It was hideously scary at the time.

I saw Aliens when I was 8 I believe. It freaked me out.

I saw the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre with my sister a few years ago at the theater (she watches every horror movie that comes out it seems). What really got me is that some stupid bitch brought a couple of toddlers along with her. I mean really?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Some Whiskey-Tango awful parent motherfucker brought her 5 year old kid to an IMAX showing of The Dark Knight.

He started SCREAMING during the "Why so serious" sequence.  It was actually kind of funny, though I felt for the kid.   :lol:


This is partially inspired by a story I heard on NPR a long time ago about a guy who, at age 6, watched The Shining with his uncle, and was in therapy for most of his childhood and young adult life trying to get over it.

Well, my mom always made very clear to me that it was only make belief and actors and that "in the next movie they'd all be back" when we watched some movies in which someone died on screen or got hurt (my dad was a big Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, WW2 etc. fan).

Let's see I watched jaws at age 5 or 6. Alien at 11, Halloween at like age 10 along with the thing. Yet what scared me the most?
Snow white and Pinocchio at like age 4.  :P

Close to all of them.

I watched some movie about piranha when I was a little kid.  The little monsters got in to the river system somehow and were eating up all the swimmers.  Was too scared to go in the swimming pool at night for months.

Whatever you call that Japanese porn where they drink their own vomit. Scarred me for life!

Brazilians do that a lot, too. Or so I heard.

I saw Aliens when I was 14. That night I stayed at my grandparents in the attic. There was a storm and the attic was drafty. I spent the entire "going to sleep" phase hearing sounds of movement and getting very very nervous about facehuggers. Since then I have slept with my face into a corner. I can't sleep on my back and I can't fall asleep unless I have a corner to stick my face in.

This stuff has moderated itself over time, but it gives me bad sleeping habits. It all started one stormy night when I was 14.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
