And am I the only one that still gives a shit about the goddamned rules?

Every time someone asks for pictures no one follows that rule. Send me a DM and then I’ll send it. I’m not blasting it on public forum!

I saw Exorcist in its opening week in a DC theater on Wisconsin Ave. Afterwards, we got lubricated at The Tombs in Georgetown which is located at the top of what’s called now “Exorcist Steps.”  Seemed like the appropriate destination that night considering the movie put my date in a rather clingy mood … oh yeah.

On a lighter movie note. One of my fondest memories was when my dad let me pick a movie we went to. Now my dad is a straight arrow. Don't cuss , church going. Not really worldly. 

I picked Cheech and Chongs Nice Dreams. 

The baffled look on his face ( he did like the titties) will live with me always

I bet he loved Cheech Marin’s scene where he’s inviting all the pooosy lovers in. 

Haha, that's where it started. I couldn't laugh because he'd get mad but it was hilarious

The only movie I ever remember scaring me was Something Wicked This Way Comes, a post-Walt, pre-Eisner Disney movie based on a story by Ray Bradbury.
Outside of a handful of exceptions, horror doesn't really affect me.
Reality is far scarier. Especially right now.

Correct.

When I was six years old, my dad took me to see this incredibly cheesy, horrible movie. It may be the worst movie of all time. Spend two minutes watching the trailer and you'll get a sense of how bad it is.

Nevertheless, it scared the bejeebus out of six year old me. I couldn't sleep well for days.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the worst movie of all time.

Holly Palance was on fire in the 80s when she did episodes of "Ripley's: Believe It Or Not" with her Dad, Jack Palance.

I let my daughters watch Ghostbusters last Halloween (8 and 6). It had been a while since I had watched it, and figured the more adult raunchy humor would go over their heads, but they would get a kick out of Slimer and the Stay Puft marshmallow man. It was listed under the "Family" genre was and only rated PG, fuck it. I remembered being scared of the librarian ghost jump scare as a kid so I warned them before and they closed their eyes, no big deal....what I was NOT prepared for and didn't remember was the semi exorcist-esque scene where Sigourney Weaver is possessed by Zuul and speaking in the demonic voice before eventually turning into androgynous David Bowie cosplay...that was a mistake

Are you not the key master?

My parents figured Watership Down was a kids' movie about a bunch of fluffy bunny rabbits.

It was not a kids' movie about fluffy bunny rabbits.

 

Was just about to post this. I don't remember much actually really, really, really frightening me (at least not until Event Horizon came out) but Watership Down traumatized the shit out me

Edit: I take that back. There was episode of Tales from the Crypt where some old guy died and it turned out that being dead just meant being trapped and paralyzed in your body with only your own inner monologue for all eternity. That one also fucked my world up pretty good

Face ripping kitchen scene in Poltergeist did a number on me when I was about 7.

I understand that parenting was a little different in the 80s, but what kind of fucked up parents would buy their son that creepy fucking clown and then keep it in a rocking chair watching him sleep? I'd probably hate clowns anyway, but that definitely didn't help.

Swap "my parents" with "I" and you've got my most egregious parenting blunder. I knew what it wasn't, but boy were my 5yo and I surprised to learn what it was.

I think most of us have been there. My youngest was obsessed with watching me play Bloodborne at age 5. She finished my copy of the complete works of HP Lovecraft at 11 and, later that year, when she asked me to show her the movie that scared me the most ever, she didn't bat an eyelash at any of the truly disturbing stuff in Event Horizon. Bright, bight kid and I love her to death but she's definitely wired a little bit differently

finally someone gets it right

this is an example of the 1.6 golden section ratio referred to by carton the other day

the double phi relationship refers to the property where powers of the golden ratio (phi, φ) can be expressed as a linear combination of phi and 1, with the coefficients being consecutive fibonacci numbers

in females it is expressed by the inverted triangle body type, representing less than 5%, some say less than 1% of all women worldwide

surly dads, this is important to teach your young male offspring upon reaching puberty

here is another teaching aide:

I was 9 and watched this on a being broadcast on the side of a building in Liberia, Africa. We were doing mission work and, I don’t think my parents exactly knew what was happening.  Scared the absolute shit out of me. Reality is so fucked for Liberians I don’t think they realized it’s probably not a family movie.
 

My parents were insanely strict but also let me watch children of the corn, exorcist, raiders of the lost ark, Rambo and aliens.  Maybe they used fear to keep me in line??

One Eyed Willie in Goonies scared the shit outta me.

Crocodile Dundee’s girlfriend bending over in her one piece thong swimsuit was rewinded and paused hundreds of times on our old VCR when the parents weren’t around

Gotta love the movies your parents let you watch back in the day.  I remember watching Robo Cop when I was like 8 and the gore almost made me sick to my stomach.

Brigette Bardot (Shalako) did for me when I was 12.

 ... and the Cheyenne Social Club is a Top 10 movie for me,

The. Exorcist is a great mind fuck, good choice.

On the subject of movie ratings, I’m still baffled how James Cameron was able to show Kate Winslett’s tits in a PG-13. Not that I’m upset about it.

Pinocchio getting swallowed by the whale did it to me.

For my kids, Twister. Both of my kids were born in Oklahoma, one in Enid, not to far from Wakita. I thought it would be a good idea to take them to see Twister at ages 6 & 8. Parenting grade? F-.  Kids are still traumatized by thunderstorms. 

My son had a 7th grade swim party, after which ~ 20 kids stayed to watch The Exorcist. It start out with them laughing at the lines and making fun of they had heard on TV shows. After a while, it started getting quiet, to quiet. I went to check, and the kids were petrified, not talking, or moving, barely breathing. Some of the neighborhood kids insisted I walk them home, down the middle of the street instead of the sidewalks, on a well lit street in a gated community.

When I was 9 my Dad rented A Clockwork Orange for my older brother to watch, and I wound up watching it. I didn’t scare me, but was insanely fucked up to 9 yo destroya.

The Hell scene from Fantasia was terrifying.

A neighborhood kid with an October birthday always had the scariest parties. IT and Salem's Lot, in particular the scene where the kid vampire floats up to the window, fucked my shit up for years.

Rats of NIMH and Watership Down were great books as a kid. The movies seem to really amp up the terror.

I had two older sisters that loved animated and fantasy movies in the 80s that had some borderline shit for kids.

Wizards, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Return to Oz, Watership Down, The Rats of NIMH were all in heavy rotation when I was 5-7 and all the creepiest parts stuck with me. My 8yo daughter has seen all of them already other than Wizards and Watership Down.

It's Secret of Nihm, and my 5 year old loved it.  Rats of nihm is the book series.

 

Watership down and the general scared the heck out of me, kids watched the recent remake and I don't think it was nearly traumatic as the original.

Poltergeist can get fucked.

So can Hellraiser, omen, and Phantasm.

I let my 5 year old watch the original 2 Ghostbusters and he loved it....watching the 1st new one right before I left town for the week to take daughter camping was apparently too much and he spent the week begging to sleep with mommy.

This will cheer you up -- he's not lonely.  He's friends with the songwriter/singer (and some of his friends as well), and they all come over to visit him in his garden.
We desperately need a new commitment to get this thread back on track.

This is among the craziest title songs to a movie ever made. 14 year old Michael Jackson, with a sentimental ode to a special friend. You'd never know the subject was an alpha rat ready to lead a rat army. Oh, and this just in, Michael Jackson had some pipes. Not that that's new, but man he could sing.

Uh, we raised ourselves in the 80’s, Bud. Latchkey kids. Nobody knew. Nobody cared.
