After that I hated the beach and flying

The original Dawn of the Dead. My sadistic older siblings took me to see it when I was...6? Then they tormented me about it for years after.

"The blob" when I was 6

Rattlers also scared the crap out of me

I was afraid rattlesnakes would come from my bathtub faucet

The move that scared me as an adult was the Hand that Rocked the Cradle

Made me not trust women

I didn't watch another scary movie, besides Alien, until I was almost 30.

LOL My ex took care of the trust issue.

Most so called horror movies never scared me as an adult

They were so fake

They don't now. I find them funny, usually.

The best jump scare I ever had as an adult was Independence Day. Where they cut open the alien's suit.

And it popped open

I jump at the wrong times. LOL

The entire theater jumped at that moment

My “trauma” movie was Gremlins. Looking back I have no idea why. Its now a campy horror movie. But when I first saw it, it messed me up 😂

There was a made for TV horror movie from the early 70s called Gargoyles and that scared me too

There is a scene where one comes from under a bed and I always checked under my bed ant night for one.

I also used to see them in the dark.

Remember that old Tom Hanks movie where he went crazy from playing DnD? That one too

Yeah

I am glad my parents didn't buy into the hype

Talk about psychological horror

Didn't the guy from the 700 CLub try to use that as a reason ban roleplaying games.

Ha! Now youre dusting off some memories

When I was making breakfast this morning something dawned on me.

What started the process or who started it the return of Gozer in Ghostbusters?

I mean didn't there have to be some kind of prompt other than the building?

Did someone have to initiate it? Because the guy who built the building died like 50 years before the events of the movie.

On a trailer for "Wolfwalkers"

I'm cringing
Really hard

That's like saying "I'm not a fan of The Jungle Book because of how it negatively portrays snakes"

I can look up the Gozer thing once I get home.

Good question @Vinz Clortho . I clearly remember the painting in GB 2. But drawing a complete blank on GB 1 🤔

What I can find on a quick dive says that Ivo Shandor's mandala array throughout New York was the cause. He apparently miscalculated the amount of time it would take to charge and bring Gozer across.

Also, he died prematurely. So instead of it charging with psychic energy through sacrifices, it just took longer on essentially a trickle.

(Or I'm full of shit and that sounds plausible. It's been a long day.)

Still wishing well to you and yours @DishonoredRonin

Thanks, @jerpeau .
