I just remembered when I was five or six, I walked in on my dad watching "Saving Private Ryan". Of course, now I know better that a war was going on but I was hysterical cuz I saw people "bullying each other and saying mean things". The movie is good now that I'm older, but I was terrified of stuff like guns since.

As for a show, if you know what "Elfen Lied" is, then you would probably understand why I was kind traumatized.

Ooh-hoo, I remember a particularly scarring one. I was looking for my dad, and I walked in his bedroom. There was a movie on. A Chucky movie. He popped up on the screen, I pissed my pants.

it's rather funny to admit , but the movie that scared the living sh*t outta me as a kid was snowwhite and the seven dwarves , i just couldn't see the witch , i'd made me freak and have nightmares for weeks .
the funniest thing is that i loved jurasic parc when i was young , but that didn't ever scare me one bit.

The movie that traumatized me was when I say a movie about a dog and a kid growing up but then near the end I thought the dog got badly hurt but recovered from it and died of old age. But I felt so sad that the dog died so I cryed and never watched that movie again.

One time I walked into the basement while my dad was watching a WWII special on the history channel. It was at a part were they showed all of these dead bodies covered in blood.
Gave me nightmares.

Gremlins gave me nightmares when I was young but the main one was Jeepers Creepers that stuff scared me so bad for years my family was watching it when I was like 6 years old and so I ended up watching it too and was really scared and couldn't sleep without a light on for ages.

Same here. I've seen all of them now though, and its funny because they were so poorly put together.

Watching Ju-On made me terrified as a thirteen year old. American horror shows are all crappy when you compare them to the true gods of horror in Japan or Korea.

Agree! I still remember I silent my phone for a week after I watched PHONE (Korean) when I was 15. Japan/Korean movies is the most terrific horror.
