OMG. This list is dead on accurate!

Ah, the ’80s. A time of cocaine so rampant that even movies created for an audience of small children were deeply affected. As an easily frightened young girl, I was one of the affected, and the effects remain strong to this day. Go ahead. Pop out from behind the couch. Wear a clown mask in my bedroom at night. Stab a goddamn hobo in front of me, it will do NOTHING. Such is the consequence of seeing movies like those below.

And I've added a few of my own:

Gremlins - in the microwave. Need I say more?

The Black Cauldron. Holy crap, this scarred me. For life, maybe.




Legend. To this day, I think Tim Curry may actually have been the devil in this movie.





So, how about it. What were the movies that scarred your youth? (Feel free to go beyond the 80s in either direction...)

It was very pretty.

And eventually, I will stop giggling about the fact that I had NO IDEA what that movie was about. ( SPOILERS )

Also, computer generated young!Jeff Bridges is... scary.

I think the best part of the movie was the preview for Pirates 4! Whooo hoo! A BIG MOVIE ALL ABOUT PIRATES! I feel my fannish interest piquing!
