The Song of Bernadette.
I later visited the location which is the prime focus of this film; I was appalled by the tackiness of the place.
And the saddest aspect of all was the sight of so many unfortunate pilgrims, who regarded this place as a potential 'cure'.
I thought that they and their helpers, were being horribly exploited by these purveyors of tat. |

"A nigjtmare on elm Street didn't sleep for a week after.."
I loved those films until 1 particular scene where Freddie has someone suspended like a puppet by their veins? (If I recall correctly) and that completely scared the shit out of me for months afterwards  |

The cinema was my escape from lots of shit things going on in my childhood and the lights going down with the projector lighting up is still one of my favorite things to do in the world
However not sure about anyone else but we were shown some pretty horrific Catholic ethos films in school about sex and abortion which sickened me at that time
Could never understand how they got got away with it |

Never had anything like this.
Only film we were ever shown in the CBS was The Land that time forgot with Doug McClure. |

Evangelical Christian films about the world post-rapture/pre Armageddon, the judgement & your ultimate casting into hell were horrific! Literally put the fear of God in you. Freddie & Pinhead were light relief after being forced to watch those in my formative years |

I loved them all but some 80s kids movies had the most disturbing, tense atmosphere that left me feeling so uneasy! |

"Watership down. That film is fucked up. Never forget watching it the first time
Had forgotten this! God it made me cry and cry as a kid"
One of the most dramatic "kids" films ever made |

Totally traumatized by a weekly programme that use to be on when I was a kid called armchair thriller...I couldn't even get passed the introduction of the programme, I use to hide my head behind a pillow and it was only an armchair in dimmed light...but scary music!!! |

"Salem's Lot scared the bejaysus out of me!
Jaws probably had a more long term effect though, every time I swim in a sea other than around Ireland."
Salems Lot for me too. Terrified me |

My Girl.
I just remember crying hysterically and my mam couldn't calm me down. It's a great movie but I'll never watch it again. Don't really need to because it's been seared into my brain.
"he can't see without his glasses" still makes me tear up a bit. |
