Movies don't really scare me now. However, I watched Wolf Creek a few weekends ago and it was just freakin' disturbing. I guess what made it so bad was that it was supposed to be based on actual events.

To the second grader I was when they brought in the tape for a winter recess session, The Secret of N.I.M.H. was a very disturbing film. Having the spector of death hanging over pretty much everyone (and as it is literally in Nicodemus's ultimate case)throughout the picture is almost too much for a seven year old, and the last 15 minutes or so were almost too unbearable to watch; even today if I catch it on TV (which hasn't been for about 8 years now), I select carefully the parts I observe.

And if that wasn't enough on my wounded psyche, we then got to see The Little Mermaid once its VHS release hit stores, and I was practically in mental fits when Triton blasts Ariel's grotto to pieces. Certainly prejudice and poor anger management skills aren't something you expect from a good guy, especially one who for a brief moment appears to be borderline insane (so who can blame Sebastian for feeling immediate guilt over having blurted everything out?). It was years before I could bring myself to watch that part in full. The rest of the film wasn't easy either; as noted in other threads, Ursula's polyping habits can be uneasing to witness, particularly when Triton allows it on himself for redemption for his actions, and I still have nightmares on occasion that a large dark set of hands will yank my voice out of my throat if I'm not careful.

Actually, The Secret Of NIMH never scared me; in fact, I became obsessed with it for a long while. I was, however, afraid of The Little Mermaid for a time (Ursula was to blame), but I eventually got over it.

But the one movie I love more than anything now, The Great Mouse Detective, was super-scary to me when I was little; couldn't watch it for over a decade. (I must admit--Ratigan & Fidget are the creepiest animated villains in history!)
