I'm old, but "The Mephisto Waltz," a1971 horror film about a dying pianist (and Satanist) taking over a young piano players body. Lots of murder, lots of screaming, and decanters of blue liquid. My parents took me in a drive in to see it, and I guess thought I'd be okay with it at age five, sleeping in the back of the car.

Nope.

Blue liquid still freaks me out.

I Am Legend

The cure for cancer creating a bunch of rabid, fast moving, sunlight fearing, flesh hungry, "zombies" ... Yeah that was a bit much

C.H.U.D.

Early 80s b-grade movie. Absolutely laughable from a modern cinematic perspective, but I haven’t touched it in over a third of a century due to how it scared the fark out of young-teenaged me. I have also taken a disliking to horror movies (in general) for that same reason.

Bruce Lee's - The Big Boss where they put some dead bodies into the ice in a ice factory and the big ice saw is sawing them into smaller pieces.

I watched it through a crack in the door from a different room when my dad and my uncle watched it after I supposedly went to sleep. Needless to say that I didn't get much sleep that night. But I never told my dad that I've seen it :D

Mosquito (1994)

My older brother really did a number renting and bringing that movie to my house. I remember I saw it on a summer afternoon with him. You know, the time of the year when mosquitoes are everywhere.

I should watch it again now, I'm sure the effects aged poorly, and maybe that heals my wounds from the past.

Porn, it's absolutely worth nothing.

From someone who needs an emotional connection to make sex palatable, I absolutely agree. Never saw the point of porn, engaging with it always made me feel dirty and hollow on the inside. One-night stands are much the same, which is why I have never had any - I’ve backed out every time. No puritism anywhere here, I’m an atheist dude.

The banshee from Darby O'Gill and the Little People still creeps me out!

Mars Attacks. The screaming aliens and the guns that turn people into colorful skeletons.
