This did. The rest of the movie had a very different feel, but this scene scared/disturbed me as a kid. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Zail7Gdqro&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2Zail7Gdqro&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
****, I'm still frightened by this creepy ****ing bird. I HATE BIG BIRD. Every nightmare when I was a kid involved him. b*stard would chase me down and peck me to death. Look at that face of his. It screams, "I'm going to rape you!".
I was scared as a child that when I grew up, I would be drafted and be sent overseas to fight in some terrible war where I would be killed by a flamethrower or a landmine or some other insanely painful, gruesome way. This was probably when I was 8 or 9 years old. When I turned 18, sending in my draft card made my knees shake a little. By then, of course, I was heavily into Megadeth, Slayer, and other heavy metal bands that really played on the horror-movie dramatics of war. I was also really scared as a little kid that my parents would abandon me. Like, they just wouldn't come home one day and move far away without telling me. I'm sure they probably considered it a time or two.
saw this one wayyyy too early at my uncle's house with my older cousins.. After that, any movie with scenes where objects moved by themselves (including the mailbox scene at the beginning of Close Encounters) scared the living daylights out of me.

I was totally turned on by the blond chick. I liked how she wanted to play with the boy. Used to imagine her having me tied up and playing with me.

That big gorilla from Showbiz Pizza used to freak me out as a kid...i swear that monkey used to stare straight at me.
When I was a kid, like maybe 5 or 6 or 7, a bunch of us spent the night in a big treehouse that a friend's father had built in their backyard, down the street in my Southeast Houston neighborhood. Folks, this was pushin' 60 years ago and parents let their kids do all kinds of things that parents today, us included, were never let their children do now. It was just a different time. Needless to say, we stayed up half the night and probably kept half the neighbors up, too, but sometime after midnight, a few of us went into the garage to look around and smack dab in the middle of the floor was the biggest damn spider I've ever seen outside of a zoo. It was a Tarantula the size of a dinner plate that had a BIG egg sack attached to it. We backed off, freaked out, and then one of the other guys went outside, grabbed a rock, and just nailed that sucker. Baby Tarantulas by the dozens immediately went running in all directions and The BIG ONE went running around in circles, as we ran screaming out of the garage and straight up that damn tree, just shaking. The rest of the kids didn't believe us, so a couple went down to look and ran back to the tree yelling their lungs out in fright. None of us went back down until the next morning. I kid you not. I never looked at a spider again in quite the same way after that.
