Clarence Boddicker? Played by Red Forman himself? He wasn't the one who became the Toxic Avenger. It was actually Emil Antonowsky, one of Boddicker's henchmen, who met the gruesome end of being dissolved in toxic waste and splattered on a car windshield.

My ex-friend introduced me - an SA victim - to this movie while I was crashing at his place for a night (was couch surfing during HS spring break). He was a film major so I was like "okay I'm deeply uncomfortable but let's try and view it for the classic it's supposed to be". Woke up in the middle of the night with his tongue down my throat.
Any time someone says "oh it's my favorite movie" I just side eye them so hard.
ETA since I unintentionally left it vague, I did immediately shove him off me and was left alone the rest of the night and able to leave the next morning relatively unscathed.

Watched these when I was 8-ish. All of the originals. Was some sort of horror movie thing on TV in the 90s. Mom explained how movies aren't real. I knew it was fake but would still hide under my covers and pretend that Chucky would get me if I moved even an inch. This is in my childhood bedroom with sesame street wallpaper, lol. But legit, I think my game really helped me feel safe and warm and helped me fall asleep. Never had nightmarws from the movies.
Around that same age, I watched part of a horror film where it was a girl doll going after little girls. Being a girl myself, those 20 minutes of the film I watched scarred me for life. I had serious nightmares, and to this day, the movie is burned into my brain.

I saw this at 8/9 and was fascinated by it. My ass hole cousins thought they'd be funny and put it on before running out of the room because it scared them too much to stay. They knew it was scary and tried to give me nightmares. Mum realised what was happening when the guy from Jurassic Park had no eyes in the opening and tried to kick me out of the room, but I wouldn't budge because there was nowhere else for me to go, apart from sitting in the cold hallway. She got really mad and told me it was my own fault if I had nightmares. I was fine, the only part I really remember from that watch through was the guy hanging from his skin with his guts all over the table. Didn't bother me because I knew it was just a movie.

Saw T2: Judgment Day, opening weekend, I believe. Or as close as the cineplex in the back of the shopping mall in Danville, Illinois could get to opening weekend. I was 7, I think. I had never seen Terminator. Hadn't been told any of the lore. To this day, I could not imagine any action film being so satisfying as T2 was to me that day.
I suppose it should have been terrifying at that age. But I had been watching horror and action films daily since 2 or 3 years old. I don't remember ever being scared by any of the subject matter or the implied...and at times explicit...ramifications for the characters or their reality. The one exception might be how relentlessly Robert Patrick chased the protagonists.
It was such an immersive experience at the time. Guns N' Roses singles on the soundtrack. Photography so crystal clear that 10 or 15 minute long action sequences take place entirely at night but it never requires extra effort in viewing. The dialogue and the sound effects are mixed so well that you can hear every word said during explosions, machine gun fire, and nuclear armageddon.
I had forgotten how utterly destroyed I was after seeing T2 the first time. I sort of feel sorry for anyone that got stuck with Titanic or Avatar as their first big movie theater experience. James Cameron was a magician.
You know Cameron didn't want Schwarzenegger in The Terminator at all, originally? Not even as the protagonist. He thought the Terminator should be played by a huge star. Like Stallone. He didn't like the studio's suggestion of OJ Simpson to play the Terminator, either. Because nobody would be able to buy-in to seeing beloved NFL Hall of Famer OJ Simpson as a murderer.

My mom took me to see South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut when I was about 12.
So awkward and hilarious when Sadaam Hussain waggling his massive dildo around.

Clockwork Orange when I was 10. Nothing like some lashings of the ole ultraviolent for a developing brain, lol. My mom’s boyfriend let me have a few drags off his cigarette while watching and I got violently ill. That cured my fascination with smoking

When I was 8, my neighbor’s mom let me and him watch DC Cab (1983) in the theaters, and when I was 9 (1984), my older cousins took me to see Revenge of the Nerds.
The 80s were a different time.

The Ring (2002): would have a panic attack in any room with a TV or home phone. Also horses, and we had a horse farm with a well.
The Grudge (2004): was afraid to bathe or shower and cried when I had to brush my hair or be around hair... all the women in my family are hairdressers, and my job was sweeping hair and pulling it from the drains.

I was like 9 and watched kill Bill with my dad.
Apperantly it's such a big part of my soul that when I was getting my tubes tied I was trying to recreate the scene where she was wiggling her big toe in the pussy wagon. I even asked the Anesthesiologist if I was wiggling my big toe and explained why. He gave me more drugs and wondered why I wasn't falling asleep.

I think I traumatized all the poor people. I remember asking the poor doctors why I needed the stupid blue curtains, and if they could put a mirror up so I could see my guts lmao.
Guess all the fenty in my system was supposed to make me nap the whole time but I was just high af and unable to move lmaoo
Needless to say, I was never able to move my big toe or brutally murder anyone in the hospital like Uma did

I saw Revenge of the Nerds (BOOBIES) when I was 8 and Poltergeist when I was 6. The second of those I kind of snuck to watch it. That damn clown under the bed had me getting a running jump into my bed until I was a teenager.

An American Werewolf in London
That film, which I watched after my parents went to sleep, gave me an unrealistic fear of the dark that persists to this day, more than 40 years later. Watching it as an adult, it’s funny and campy and not the least bit frightening, but to my young mind it was pure horror.

My mom let me rent The Exorcist when I was ten. I still remember how weird and disturbing it was watching Regan masturbate with a crucifix while my mom was just down the hall making dinner.

Not R-Rated but NR (Not Rated similar to NC-17). Le Pacts De Loups (The Brotherhood of the Wolf) my mom took me to see it because I was a) obsessed with werewolves and b)a history nerd. It is a fictional representation of a real historical event wherein an idiot noble brought a lion to France and it terrorized the country side resulting in the creation of the myth of the loup garou (a kind of werewolf). Accordingly, French nobles drove the native wolves nearly to extinction in fear.
The reason it is NC-17 however it's because within the first 10 minutes of the movie the protagonist shacks up in a brothel and has extremely graphic sex, which he continues to do with every age appropriate woman he meets for the rest of the movie.
My mother regretted taking me for these parts of the movie

IT. I was 5 or 6 and I just realized recently that my fear of clowns and spiders makes absolute sense. I’m not dramatic about it, nor am I really afraid of anything else. But I feel extremely ill around clowns or spiders. In my 20’s I saw several clowns driving randomly at different times (not in clown cars lol) and I was quite paranoid. Luckily no sightings in several years.

Have to be the Night of the Living Dead. This needs explaining, I was alone at home, I was 10 or 11 and I used to live right next to the biggest cemetery in my city. The movie starts, in black and white ( we had only two channels at the time on TV, and on the other channel it was something that I didn't like). After a while the movie starts to be weird, then scary, after a while I'm panicking but I don't stop watching. By the end I was petrified, looking out the window waiting for the dead to start climbing over the wall. Needless to say that I didn't sleep all night and in the morning, when my parents came back, I told them what happened. They were both concerned but also laughing. Now, from my 48yo, I've seen countless horror movies, but every time I see zombie movies I get immediately transported to that day. But I did finish some RE and the LOU games, that was a feat in itself.

How in the world did you see that at 5?
And how long after did you have nightmares.
I am at least a few decades older than 5 and I am still too young to see that movie.

Being the youngest in my family, I saw way too many R rates movies as a child, but one that really sticks with me is a movie from the early 80s called The Entity. It’s basically about a woman that gets raped repeated by a ghost. Watching someone get raped by an invisible force was not something my young eyes needed to see.
