Thank you for unlocking this horrifying memory for me. Great albeit disturbing movie and scene.

Oh and The Shining at the time (11 y/o home alone) really messed me up as well.

Fire in the Sky. Still haven’t rewatched it decades later.

Idk the movie but it was late 80s or early 90s, there was a guy with his head in a TV screen, which was on and had the image of a woman's mouth eating the head. Fucked me up for years as a kid because I had no context.

I don't know the name and it was only one scene I saw passing by, something about giant spiders, and one dude was getting into the car to escape and a spider was inside waiting. It probably was in the second half of the 90s and it was on TV, so probably released in late 80s or early 90s. And I don't think it's arachnophobia, at least I haven't seen any scene that reminds me of my memory.

I've had phobia to spiders ever since.

If we consider watching the full movie, it did haunt me for so long and I still remember it with dread, critters. Fucking hate those puppets they used.

Poltergeist 2 - specifically the braces scene, I was terrified of getting them. Oddly enough, I was fine with the first one.

That super creepy Alice in Wonderland version from around the same time that I always forget the name of.

Hellraiser and the original Dune. Claymation looks so fake now, but it didn’t back then.
