I’ll start with tremors, still get a bit wary if I’m walking too far off the concrete.
Another film which I can’t remember the title, shouldn’t have watched it but still to this day has ruined the way I sleep.
Was a little fucking creature thing and it was in the boys bedroom at night and would suck his breath out of his nose and mouth, the boys cat used to save the day and this creature ended up killing the family bird and the poor cat had the blame. Still can’t sleep on my back to this day cos of that film. |

Many won't remember this but they made a feature length film of the Magic Roundabout called "Dougal and the blue cat", now that was some weird shit. Every kid that watched it must have been traumatised and the people that made it must have been partaking of a big bag of various hallucinogenic substances |

When I was about 9 I saw a film called The Burning. It was the first time I had ever seen a slasher movie and I didn't know that films like that even existed. The imagery stayed with me for many years, especially a particular scene of a massacre on a raft. It was horrible.
Even though now I can see it as a bit cheesy and clearly fake, I still can't understand why anybody would want to see anything like that. |

Not really from my childhood or a film. But for some reason a couple of episodes of the original Black Mirror has affected me. Mostly the 'Fifteen Million Merits" episode where they have to pedal the bikes and the love interest takes the offer to do porn. Dunno why but that episode is stuck in my mind |

When I (her) was too young for horrors I watched Salems Lot and American werewolf in London. These have put me off being able to watch horrors as an adult. I just find stuff like that too frightening and refuse to watch them. |

"The littlest hobo. Still makes me cry hearing that theme tune. Not that I hear it but it's still in my head
There’s a voice ...."
I met 2 of the Londons!! They had five of them on set always. I loved that TV show. Every Canadian did.
Sorry it was hard for you.

Horror movies never scared me; my dad was an actor and had a knack of ruining the mood by explaining the effects, lighting, directoral techniques, etc. The only film that really disturbed me, and still does, is Duel. |

I was about 8-9 when I first saw Alien. Not sure how - I probably had a sneaky watch on the old Betamax while my parents weren't paying attention. My mum was pregnant with my sister at the time. Oh, the horrors I dreamt that night... |

The premature burial was a film that still haunts me now at times.
I remember seeing it when I was about 8 and it gave me a terrible fear of being buried alive. So much so that I’ve left specific instructions that I’m to be cremated.

Not so much the film but the character in it.
The Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, now there was a sinister character, certainly put me off accepting lollipops. |

Salems Lot,the scene where the kid is in bed and his dead friend appears through the fog outside and starts tapping on the window and asking to be let in, scared the crap out of me as a kid and I still won't leave the curtains open at night
Also remember seeing the bit on Robocop when Murphy gets brutally murdered at the beginning which even now is a shocking scene, and I was around 8 years old, that stuck with me for a long time. |

I'd agree with jaws,
I saw it as a toddler & I think i slept in my mum and dad's bed for a week afterwards..
Also American werewolf in london, which has been mentioned. Scared the hell out of me. I was probably too young to see it at, age 8 or 9. Even though it disturbed me greatly, i loved it..Still love it to this day. |

Salem’s Lot. It scared the hell out of me.

The film where the otter is is killed by the guy with the spade is "ring of bright water"
I've been meaning to go hiking in scotland in the filming locations, but haven't got round it. It's a very philosophical film, that one, a classic.
I remember renting robocop on vhs for 12th birthday with a few friends, super violent film, but the satire in it is amazing.
-It's a shame that the sequels were atrocious. |

There's a series called "V"
It came out in the 80s, it was an allegory of the events that lead up to world war 2.
It was about aliens visiting the earth, pretending that they were peaceful, but the show became increasingly more & more sinister.
-Very well done & acted.
(there was a remake a few years ago that wasn't anywhere near as good as the original)

For me it was the bit where the guy gets covered in toxic waste and starts melting then pops when hes hit by the van |

Robert Englund His portrayal of, the unfortunately named but lovable, friendly alien Willy in ‘V’ was a million miles from his delightfully evil role as Freddy |

"The Singing Ringing Tree ... totally disturbing for a variety of reasons.
Jaws.
A children's TV show from France with scary dwarfs it I remember rightly."
East German actually but yes a sadistic dwarf, a dodgy bear and huge weird goldfish. It was parodied by The Fast Show, entitled, The Singing Ringing Binging Plinging Tinging Plinking Plonking Boinging Tree with Warwick Davies as the evil dwarf. |
