Movies and your childhood fears or nightmares ?

This movie scene was the reason why I hated going on rides at an amusement park :|


did something similar happen to you where a scene from a movie had caused you a phobia or gave you nightmares ?

This one gave me nightmares and I still hate it:

 
My childhood fear was E.T. He really frightened me. Then I snuck behind the sofa one night to watch 'The Gremlins'. I liked Gizmo, it all started off so well, but ended up with me sleeping with the light on and developing a fear of my wardrobe.

I did love Tim Burton films though. Still do (I have the collection) I also loved the Addams family, Drop Dead Fred and beetle juice ( I had the grave game as a xmas present one year!)

Had ET showed up when I was a child he probably would have frightened me as well. Although with a somewhat endearing personality, his appearance could have been right out of "The Outer Limits". A show which scared me plenty as a kid.

It was the glowing finger that did it for me, along with that line..."E.T phooooone home"
*shudders*
If he'd showed up in my back garden, I'd have clubbed him over the head with a rolling pin and ran away.
 
I remember watching Dawn of the Dead when I was younger. For a few weeks I worried that zombies were going to smash through my bedroom windows, coming for some brains. :P My mum said to me " I told you to not to watch that movie. :P"
 
This one is funny to me in retrospect- I had some animated movie where the girl didn't have pupils, and it made me afraid of both her and blind people. This was when I was maybe 5-6 years old. I'm still uneasy with some animated eyes (like that dog from Adventure Time) but I'm no longer afraid of blind people.

That one freaked me out a lot too. His speech and the finger and his extending neck oh my god
