Oh wow, yeah Event Horizon is not a good movie to see in your youth haha. That’s intense!
For me, I didn’t get to see the whole movie, but I walked into the living room while my parents were watching Hostel and I saw the achilles tendon scene. That imagery still haunts me to this day. Grew up to love horror, though!
Actually not the OP just thought that this community needed some love. That said I do have a very distinct memory of having one of those two for one DVDs with Event Horizon on one side and some fairly tame solar flare-themed PG-13 disaster movie on the other side that I watched ALL the time. Definitely would’ve been a shock to go from the latter to the former but I don’t think I ever did.
I was a real scaredy cat as a kid, so for me Terminator and Jurassic Park were the ones I remember giving me nightmares that other people would know. Outside of that weirdly the movie “the edge” with its bear terrified me, I always imagined a bear could just rip through the wall of our home and grab me. Another weird one was The 13th Warrior, there was a particular scene in.a bloody cabin that really upset me, but I dont think the movie was really scary, I was probably just way too young to watch it
Something Wicked This Way Comes… my dad and I stumbled into an onboard cinema on a ferry trip to continental Europe, and I saw maybe two or three minutes of the film, out of context. I could only have been about 5 or 6 and the imagery on screen scared me witless.
The Shining. Watched it when I was under ten years old.
Couldn’t sleep with the lights off for months.
But I agree with OP about on the Event Horizon movie. My experience with that film was great cause I just expected a sci-fi movie. Instead I got a twisted vision of horror that still haunts me to this day.
Arachnophobia. I one of the ones that claims I acquired a minor version from the film. Took me years to get over it. Of dedicated effort, after I grew up. Even today a sudden sighting can sometimes get a squeak out of me though, annoyingly.
Trilogy of Terror messed me up pretty badly as a kid. I kept my feet off the floor for a week. I just kept jumping around from piece of furniture to piece of furniture.
I saw Event Horizon in my 20s. My bro-in-law and I thought it was just going to be a goofy horror movie that we could laugh at.
