Re: Age-inappropriate things that scared you as a child.
Joseph:
That Simpsons Halloween episode that ends with the gremlin thing holding Homer's head. I must have been three or so. Freaked me the fuck out.
KvP:
As I was saying in my original post, like many of you I was exposed to cheesy 80's slasher / horror films as a child that scared the ever-living shit out of me. Including but not limited to: Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Child's Play.
When I was a kid I would have terrible night terrors about fat people who had bright lights emanating from their mouths and steam coming out of their ears. Also there was a fleshy orb-thing with a bunch of eyes that really freaked me out. So it was with some surprise that I was channel surfing a few years back and found myself watching my night terrors on the tele. Turns out that as a toddler at some point I was subjected to Big Trouble In Little China and it wayyy to intense for me.
Blue Kitty:
I saw the original Jurassic Park with my dad when I was like 7. I remember hiding in between the seats, catching glimpses of the raptors as they were tracking the kids through the kitchen.
Funny thing, some parents brought their kids with them to see Watchmen. They walked out half way through the sex scene.

Hell, I saw that scene when I was 8 or 9 in a video store, on the tiniest screen ever, and it freaked me the fuck out.
Other than that, My dad took me to the theatrical re-release of Star Wars: A New Hope when I was 4 or 5 or 6 (one of those), and it had a preview of the Tommy Lee Jones flick "Volcano" right before the movie started. That prepped my already freaked out self for the appearance of Darth Vader's mondo helmet, and I took off screaming.
TheFuriousWombat:
I saw Saving Private Ryan and Starship Troopers in theaters. I'm 20 now so I musta been 7 or 8 or something for those. Don't remember exactly. I can't say for sure if they scared me but I find it hard to believe that they didn't. I know the latter was probably my introduction to B-movies which I wholeheartedly enjoy to this day so that's something I guess...
