From a show or movie, to artwork and books or a random thing you read somewhere, a bad experience with friends or family, a time you got super sick or witnessed something you shouldn't had, interacting with a ghost, riding a scary themed park attraction or eating some food you weren't ready for, what's something that really shocked you as a kid or teenager? Was it super traumatizing at the time or simply thought provoking? Did it ""ruin your childhood"" (as serious or jokey it might be)?

I have many personal examples, like watching a happy tree friends episode for the first time on a flip phone, but recently I thought about video related. The title is "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood", this scene still fucks me up to this day. I think this woman is a stay at home housewife, with kids and a "perfect life". It made me realize I might not want kids ever.

As a child I walked in on my dad watching 1,000 ways to die and he let me watch it with him, it was the episode where some guy gets decapitated by a mailbox because he was hanging his head out of the passenger side of a moving car while vomiting. It's such low quality and unintentionally hilarious now but as a kid that shit was traumatizing.

when i was a kid in the mid-90s, my family stayed at a mid-level hotel during a trip. my brother and i immediately ran in and turned on the tv because we didn't have cable at home at the time and it was still a novelty. welp, i guess the last person in the room had rented a porno and it didn't expire because on the screen was a blonde lady getting eaten out in a kitchen by some generic white porn guy. i remember being horribly confused and disgusted because she was making loud, fake moans and it sounded scary to me. my parents complained and we got several free nights at that chain.

anyway, i still clearly remember parts of it even though i probably saw less than a minute of the video. the woman had short, teased blonde hair. the kitchen had green and yellow checkerboard tile. i think that ugly floor traumatized me the most.

I was around 5 when I walked in on my mom watching Child's Play (Chucky) while she was ironing clothes. I hid behind the couch and watched it too, and it instilled a deep phobia of dolls, especially the Chucky doll for decades. I'm finally over it now, but damn.

I remember in elementary school, some kid was talking about him, and I'd never heard of the movies. I thought he said Freddy Cougar, and that it was just a giant cougar mascot that killed people with his claws because it fit the description. Somehow made it less scary kek. That sucks, though, those little scenes stick with you when you see them at the wrong time.

When I was a child my father's coworker commited suicide by digging a hole into a frozen river and jumping into it. I couldn't stop thinking about that for ages, how horrible of a death must it be to be trapped underneath the ice while the current is dragging you away and no longer even having a chance to get out if you changed your mind… I can't remember whether it was because of a divorce or because he got fired.

When I was in 4th grade our teacher told us ghost stories for Halloween and one of them was about an exorcism involving the archangel Michael or something. I can't remember exactly the story but I remember being terrified for weeks. Also I was scared of hotel rooms having corpses under the mattress or just being haunted in general. I'm not scared by that stuff at all anymore and kind of miss it.

That reminds me, a few years after the war in my country, things were really bad economically and socially, and a lot of people were struggling. You started seeing things you never could before (aside from the bomb craters and shrapnel here and there I mean), at night my dad would turn on the headlights when parking our car and you could see a wall full of cockroaches when they illuminated the building facade because nobody paid for pest control anymore and it was summer in a hot country. Eventually suicide rates started skyrocketing as well.

One day my mum gave me money to go to the shop and buy myself ice cream, and to get there I had to go through some commieblocks. I turned a corner when I saw a puddle of red on the concrete and some cops around what seemed to be a dead body. I got closer and it was a disgusting sight, I don't wanna write about it, it was a dead woman whose body wasn't right. Later my mum saw in the paper that she jumped from the 7th floor and killed herself, she had no money and her husband was drinking and beating her.
I'm 27 now and still in dire need of brain bleach just for that whole period. I'm extremely jealous of zoomers who were born when it was all over and didn't have to see anything.

Yeah my Catholic school screened that to us too when I was in middle. Except I didn't really care about the crucifixion scene tbh cause I knew it was all fake. Not to say the flogging and nail scenes didn't make me wince. The satan scenes were pretty unsettling imo and I was way more creeped out by that.

When I was in 5th grade I was dicking around on Youtube just mindlessly clicking around and I ended up finding extremely graphic videos from PETA. It was one that was about animal testing and it was the classic hidden camera / undercover exposé clips of monkeys with their scalps cut open and beagles being horribly disfigured. I don’t think anything has single handedly traumatized me more than that video especially as a little girl who had dreams of working with animals. I cried and cried and cried and I wanted to go ask my parents of this was real but I was scared they’d be mad at me for watching something so gorey.

That sounds like pure hell. The one time I've had to deal with a projectile vomiting 'kid' it was now exes 12 year old son. The whole family had already taken turns catching this bug. I had it for days and managed to camp out on a cold bathroom floor and never miss the toilet in those days.

One morning the son wakes up, sure enough he's finally caught it himself and rather than heading to the bathroom he comes into our bedroom, walks up to our bed while we sleep and projectile pukes onto our bed and 50 percent of the entire bedroom surface including the laundry basket with a tonne of our clothes in it. I was freaking out and my ex told me I had no empathy?? I had been through the same bug, I had empathy but he was 12 years old…why was he standing at the end of our bed and just puking wherever he happened to stand? Several rounds of vomit all while he stood on the spot in our bedroom while we watched .. scarred. I won't describe the clean up operation..

Besides my dad watching scary movies in plain day, and ghost shows which are admittingly laughable now, the Miami Cannibal attack. I might've been around 11/12 at the time when it happened, really disturbing story. My parents told me not to look it up online because there were pictures of the incident, which I ignored. Then I was paranoid some crazy fucking guy would break into our house and start eating my face. Drugheads are fucked up.


My mom also told me years later that one of the reasons she didn't get rid of our dog (even though my dad wanted to) was because there was a serial killer around our area. My dog wasn't very big but she was hella protective of us and especially weary of men she wasn't familiar with. I believe she would have fought to the death to protect us. Miss her.

i saw an episode of a crime show, i think csi? a girl, Tracy i think, disappears from the woods, and a huge search party looks for her. you find out that the guy who kidnapped her is a cannibal, and likes to eat women specifically. they track him down, manage to save a different girl he kidnapped, and take him in for questioning. they want to know where Tracy is. while talking, the guy claims to be possesed by a flesh-eating demon. one of the cops is a religious man, and he brings up god.

cop: God is in ALL of us.
cannibal: …So is Tracy.

then a flashback to the woods. the guy was there, handing out soup to the search party. Tracy was in the soup. even the cop had eaten some. it fucked with me so bad, if i wasn't going to be kidnapped and eaten i was sure someone would slip human into my food. i actually became vegetarian for a bit because i figured, hey, it's probably a lot harder to hide human meat in a salad than say, a burger.

i've gotten over it but for a long time that episode stuck with me and creeped me out for years

I’m so sorry, anon. I hope you’re living your best life now despite all of this.

My experiences were not nearly as bad and only tangentially related to your story, but it reminded me of two incidents from my childhood, growing up during post-communist period.
My mom worked in a laboratory in a huge science institute, adjacent to a hospital, and oftentimes she used to take me with her when she couldn’t find anyone to watch me at home (I was a very mellow child, so all of her colleagues liked me and didn’t mind me being there as long as I didn’t come near the chemicals). One day when I was loitering in a corridor between labs, trying to read diagrams on the walls, I noticed a strange girl, in her late teens or early 20s, just sitting there quietly. I’ve never seen her before and she didn’t acknowledge me at all, so I became a bit unsettled and went to find my mom. After a minute or so we heard one mom’s coworkers from the corridor, screaming “Oh my God, what have you done?! Jesus!” It turned out she walked out of a room just in time to catch a glimpse of that girl disappearing behind an open window at the end of the corridor. My mom didn’t even let me come near the window to see what happened, but I knew instantly that poor girl jumped out to kill herself. Later my mom found out that she escaped from the hospital where she was getting treated for anorexia and various other issues. She must’ve wandered into the science institute looking for a place high enough to jump. I think she also was a daughter of some party official.

The second story is from when I was even younger (around 6 or 7) and used to be afraid of these crappy little commie cars that were mass-produced in my country (Pic related). During the summer vacations my mom and I used to stay at a guesthouse in a nice seaside village that was my favorite place on earth at that time. One day, on our way to pick up a newspaper before going off to the beach, suddenly we saw a group of people, clearly agitated, gathered around a person laying on the ground. I was ahead of my mom, so I ran closer to see what’s wrong. What I saw was a man, laying in an unnatural position, unconscious and covered in blood, with most of his femur bone sticking out of his leg, with the rounded bit at the end and everything. He got ran over by one of those cars. My mom dragged me away quickly but I managed to take a good look at the scene and I still remember, clear as day, how the man looked - very pale, balding with wire frame glasses sitting crooked on his face and how jarringly white that bone was against all the blood. I don’t know if he survived, but it looked awful.
Anyway, because of this I ended up developing an intense fear of one of those cars killing me. Now they are almost entirely gone but, growing up I saw them literally everywhere. I even convinced myself in my mind that the headlights and the bumper looked like a menacing, expressionless face. I have no idea how I was always so happy to return to that village afterwards.

I was probably 8 or 9 when this "scary white car" commercial first took
off as a viral chain email. I think my dad got it sent to him by a workmate and he got me and my older brother round the family computer to watch it. I was so terrified that I couldn't be on my own for a few days afterwards. Every time I had to go to another room in the house or something I'd do it as fast as I could, but my parents and brother were making fun of me for being so scared so I didn't tell anyone how bad it was.

Omg this awoke a memory I complete forgot I had. I was so unsettled and disturbed by this as a child. I used to watch Teletubbies constantly as a kid but this scene felt so out of synch with the usual tone of the show and I remember it feeling so unfamiliar and sinister I would always skip this episode. Even though I was too young to have any real concept of mental illness at that age, I remember the part at the end where they’re chasing each other and the bear’s eyes are spinning in spirals and she’s making this strange noise, and the way she’s like laughing hysterically for no reason while being chased and the way no explanation is shown for why they’re behaving that way evoking some kind of vague awareness of extremely mentally ill people I must have had as a child and me associating them with something just sick and wrong lmao.

Besides that, when I was 6-7 there was a cousin visiting one of local kids. She took a scooter with her and would ride down underground parking's entry, just to hit the edge with her forehead.

When I was young I will go hours and hours looking for flash videos and games to play on the family computer , dress up games,and funny animationa I don't know how I ended watching a flash animation like salad fingers about a man who first sees a violent robery and does nothing then , he sees a man robbing a women on some alley and leaving her there on the floor , then the man goes to the alley and smash her head with a brick the next escene he is show wearing the pink drees of the women that shit let me spechless and with a lot of fear of men. I couldn't sleep for many days without my mother , i told my father about it and then he saw the animation and started laughing because of the drawing being not realistic he thought it was ridiculous , and didn't let.me to use the computer for about 3 months , if I ever had a child I would never let them use the internet freely

There's a meme that's been going around on tumblr talking about seven year old versions of ourselves finding out that the solar system will get sucked into a black hole in like 5 billion years and having full of existential meltdown in elementary school and I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

Courage creeped me out but this entire episode sticks out to me in particular. I had a nightmare as a kid where I basically went though this episode beat for beat as Courage and it was even more terrifying in first person. I think this kind of shit really solidified my love of horror now though.

A lot of things on Newgrounds used to scare me, but the one that stuck with me for a while a stupid flash animation which had a little girl talking to a demon that wanted her mom's fetus in order to become her friend. I thought it was so scary because it had lilium from Elfen Lied playing in the background. I watched it again when I was older and I realized how cringy it actually was.

I remember catching a glimpse of a movie that my parents were watching and it was a black and white film(?) where a bunch of soldiers were holding this woman hostage, ripped the back of her dress, tossed her onto a pile of hay and shot her back then left her for dead. I really don't know the title of the movie but seeing that really bothered me for days as a kid.

I watched Mars Attacks when I was 8 and though I knew Martians weren't real the random killing and ugly aliens stayed with me for MONTHS. Every time I entered a dark room I would cry and be convinced there was a Martian hiding in the corner ready to kill me.

Yeah. I felt dumb when I found out it's a comedy movie when I was older.

When I was like 7-8 years old, my parents rented Dead Man Walking and I watched it with them and it a Fucked Me Up, I had nightmares for a week.

It's the story of a convict on death row, a rapist and a murderer if I remember correctly. He becomes friends with a nun while in jail and the movie ends with him being executed.

I was shocked both because of the realization that some people rape and murder women/kids but also realising that the state can execute people. It's not a thing in my country and it really upset me.

I remember my grandmother had been watching some documentary/report on the Taliban (?) or one of those extremist Islamic regimes back in the early 2000’s. I think it may be a semi-famous scene as I feel like I have seen it before recently, but a woman had been drug into a square or some sort of outdoor theatre to be executed, and of course I happened to look right when she got shot in the head.

What bothered me was the blood spraying from her head and how she kind of slowly collapsed. It wasn’t like in the movies where people just fall back and their eyes roll up in their heads. I think she was wearing a turquoise blue burqa, too. And the people standing around watching her gave zero fucks. This was at the height of the Afghan War, they would never show that shit on TV in the States nowadays.

Edit: I was able to find the scene. Watch at your own risk.

This movie fucked me up for years. I watched it with my parents when I was like 5 or 6 and there was a violent rape scene in it. As a result I am still scared of strangers. I freeze up whenever the doorbell rings and I also would hide on the floor of the car whenever my parents left me in it. I watched it again with my boyfriend and it's actually a shitty movie but the rape scene is still horrible.

I was thinking about an incident last night, when I was around 10 some taliban had blasted himself in our city and after the blast, reporters etc were at the location and me and my mom were watching the reporters live on cable and while they were live another bomb went off not very far from the first location and THE DISMEMBERED HEAD of the man who blasted himself came flying and landed directly infront of the cameraman and he lingered on that freshly dead head for like 3 seconds before realizing he probably shouldn't show that. Those three seconds are seared in my brain. I remember every feature of that head. It was insane.

My friend's mom told me to scratch her dog above his tail because it was his HORNY spot. I had only heard the word a couple times at that point. I only knew it was related to sex somehow. I was so embarrassed that I ran home. I don't think she meant anything thaaaaat weird by it, dogs do react when you scratch them there… but to this day if I see someone searching their dog there, "horny spot" pops into my head.

I watched some real horror movies as a child but none of them scared me as much as this scene in The Witches. I haven't seen it for a long time and just rewatched it, it still sends chill down my spine. Although I forgot that it was some unknown child and not Erica, who was also trapped in the picture (this story is fucked up too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiC54FkzlHU&ab_channel=mrvideouploads1

I also remember having a nightmare about my friend disappearing when stepping out of a door at primary school, and now I feel like it has something to do with this scene. Even though there was nothing objectively scary about that nightmare, I was afraid of coming back to my room after I woke up and went to my parents.

Being trapped and under someone's complete control is something that disturbs me the most. Sometimes I even think if I have a repressed memory of such an experience.

This Frida Kahlo painting that was in a book in my parents bedroom. It always made me feel so nauseated but I would sneak in their room to look at it out of morbid curiosity. As an adult I love Kahlo's work and it still makes me uneasy, but that's the point.

Oh wow, you just reminded me of a painting in my parents' bedroom I thought was creepy. It was a figure riding a bicycle in neon colours on a black canvas. It made me feel uneasy, and I couldn't put my finger on why, until one day I realized - the bike had no pedals. I don't know why this shook me so much when the entire style of the painting was minimalist, the figure itself was little more than a silhouette, faceless and with no detail. But I had a hard time looking at it afterwards. Knowing the figure was riding a pedalless bike somehow made the scene sinister. With the figure's gaze set straight ahead, it felt as if someone was not supposed to know the bike has no pedals. Was it the viewers of the painting, or was it the figure in the painting? How is it even going? Is the bike magic/a ghost bike or is the rider magic/a ghost rider? These kinds of questions bothered little me.

Yeah! The child trapped in painting their whole life till death is still scary thought. It's like; detached from the movie plot but also fits perfectly. No wonder the book ends on main character and his grandma waiting for their near death.

When I saw this movie (and Addams Family for that matter) as a kid, I remember being hypnotized by Anjelica Huston's face. Back then I
probably called her ugly but that was just childish ignorance, I didn't recognize what it meant to be unconventionally pretty. I love how as she's aged, her looks have grown to match her personality for the better. I liked watching her too much for this movie to scare me.

I'm pretty sure I was either 4 or 5, it was before my family moved from the first house we lived in. It's the most 'intense' memory I have from that age, I still clearly remember how much I felt like an idiot. The feeling of having to poop lasted so long, an eternity of "my god, I'm never doing this again".

Hedwig and the Angry Inch - especially the scene where post-op Hedwig jacks someone off in a bathtub
Clockwork Orange - the break-in rape scene

Event Horizon - gore, actually, not sex

Was I a prude or should my mom not have been showing a pre-pubesant that kind of thing?
I was sitting with my mom and stepdad for all of that and so much more. Always uncomfortable.

I never wanted to watch Courage the Cowardly dog because of how creepy it was, and I loved creepy things. It wasn't necessarily the scary things he encountered, but that they lived in the middle of no-where, so alone and far away. Then they had the mean old man who I felt was borderline abusive, and Courage always had the frustration of trying to talk but couldn't.
I'm stressing myself out just thinking about it.

This gave me serious chills right now, I wish I knew the painting.

Reviving this thread, the only cartoon that truly scared and surprised me when I was a kid, was in the Secret Saturdays finale episodes when the main villain, V.V. Argost reveals his true face as the Yeti. it was so sudden and they added lightning flashes when he ripped off the mask too
