What Movie Traumatized You as a Kid?

[TheCowboy]

The first Paranormal Activity was a good one for sure.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

The original "Frankenstein".

During the 1960's, Universal's monsters made a big come-back.

And one of the first movies I was taken too, around 1969, was a double matinee of the 1931 "Frankenstein" and "Dracula".

Dracula didn't bother me... And quite frankly there were parts of it as a little kid, that I didn't understand.

But Frankenstein's monster?

I got that!

I got the part where the monster strangled the baron's flunky.

I got the part where the monster came too on the operating table and killed the doctor, before the doctor could take the monster apart piece by piece.

I got the part where little Maria was thrown in the lake by the monster and drowned.

I got the part where the monster broke into the bedroom of the soon to be baroness.

And I certainly got the part where the monster kidnaps, loses and recaptures the baron in the windmill (and subsequently tosses him over the side) as the villagers lit it aflame.

Scared the living heck out of me!

When I was a kid, my mother brought us to a haunted house thrown by some college kids. I don't remember this, but she's told me that Frankenstein's monster came up and stood in front of me, and I looked up at him and introduced myself. So apparently that movie didn't affect us in the same way.
