February 21Feb 21 CB Team We all saw some movies and tv shows we probably shouldn't have as a kid -- which ones still haunt you now that you're an adult?For me, it's a creepy 80s Alice In Wonderland.
February 21Feb 21 CB Team Jim Henson’s Labyrinth genuinely scared me as a kid and I still haven’t watched it again as an adult
February 21Feb 21 CB Team For me, it was Stay Alive. Something about a horror movie where your video game deaths haunt you in real life absolutely terrified me as a kid. I couldn't sleep for weeks.
February 21Feb 21 It would have to be Poltergeist. That scene in the bathroom where the guy basically claws his face off (he just thinks he does) was chilling and unexpected. I try not to think about it:)
February 22Feb 22 CB Team I think it was the Nightmare on Elm Street where Freddy has a son or something? Accidentally saw a scene of it at like 2AM and it ruined me for a couple of years for whatever reason haha
February 23Feb 23 CB Team It's not the It miniseries as a whole, but specifically the scene where Pennywise comes out of the drain. That terrified me as a kid and still creeps me out as an adult. It's really not all that scary, but something about it sketches me out so bad.

February 26Feb 26 don't hug me im scared....im not even sure how my sister and I stumbled across it, but personally had nightmares for years afterwards ahah. Did come back to it a couple years later though, enjoyed it!
February 26Feb 26 CB Team Mine was actually the old Disney short Lambert the Sheepish Lion . When I was young that movie wrecked me!
February 26Feb 26 CB Team I wouldn't say it still haunts me today, but I remember being legit creeped out by Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin when I saw Spider-Man in theaters as a kid.
February 27Feb 27 CB Team Oh too many to name 😂 I'm from the 80s and watched way too many horror movies back then that weren't appropriate for my age group. I'll have to think of one and come back to this thread.
February 27Feb 27 CB Team Another one for me (seriously) is Muppets from Space. My lasting memory of that movie is me sobbing in the theater because I really thought Gonzo was going to leave the Muppets at the end (I was like 8 at the time, I didn't know any better). I'm fairly certain I have never rewatched it.
February 28Feb 28 CB Team It doesn't haunt me anymore, but those monsters from Howard the Duck were pretty scary back then lol
