Okay, I saw the Brave Little Toaster for the first time in YEARS, and it reinstated the awful memories I had of the movie. The junkyard where cars sing about being dismembered and crushed? The apartment where appliances are distorted into groteque creations?

Oh, and don't get me started about the dream…that was pure nightmare fuel. Shudder

What other movie scenes do you remember…or anything scary, do you remember from your childhood?

Scariest moment of my childhood? When I met a ghost for the first time.

^This.

I saw this when I was like 9.

I was on vacation and me and my dad were out in sea during high tide. A huge wave rolled over me and I didn't have the slightest clue were I was. By some miracle, my dad reached in and pulled me out from underwater. This memory still haunts me when I go near, in, or out to sea.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, when the Queen turns into the old hag.

I was 11. ;__;

My scariest moment would be my whole childhood, but only in retrospect, because it's scary now, but not back then. Because that life that should have been was stolen from me.

Other than that, actual scary moments would have had to have been some of the crap my dad did to me.

^ I loved that show! I nearly cried when it discontiued!

They're still showing reruns.

Shortly after I was born, I had to devour my mother for her precious human female nutrients.

The doctor jumped at me and said "BOO!"

Bloody Mary Bloody Mary Bloody Mary

I still to this day will not do that in the bathroom.

^^^One of my hobbies? Collecting hilarious out-of-context quotes.

Glad to be of service.

Pretty sure that thing's still creepy as fuck.

Not scary at all now, but when I was 7 and first saw this, I was creeped for weeks.

I have two.
One, when I lived back in Kentucky, I went into the woods this one time after dark, down to the creek at the back of it…
I swore I heard something screaming at me to GET OUT.
Combined with a more recent event I don't go in the woods at night.
The other's like Caps's story, clobbered by a gigantic wave when I was in Florida.

I remember this one show about these puppets who were pirates and this creepy ship called the Laughingstock and some freakier than hell villain called the Skin-Taker….

I was having a stroll in the forest when I came across an abondoned house, all broken down and stuff. So I took a look in the window and noticed plenty of graffiti on the wall of the bedroom. So I came to the conclusion that I could safely walk inside and do whatever I felt like. So when I was in the room with the graffiti, I suddenly hear a moan. I look through the door to an adjacent room, and noticed a bearded man laying there. He looked at me for a few seconds before screaming at me to gtfo.
I did.

That's what she said!

I was just walking around the street, minding my own business, when it was time for dinner, so I went inside, for some reason I decided to look out of the window, and to this day I have never forgotten what I saw, it was a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighbourhood, I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, she said "You're moving with auntie and uncle in Bel Air"

When we were about 10, my dad used to threaten my brother and I with selling us to the gypsies. We never heard "I'll pull this car over." even once. He would just take an unexpected turn and said "That's it, I'm taking you guys to the gypsies."

Okay, to finally answer the original topic of the thread, my scariest childhood moment was/is more of an existential one.

One morning, when I was in second grade, I was waiting for the bus to go to school with a small crowd of other children from my neighborhood. A young man tried to run across a nearby intersection against traffic and was hit by car, which tossed him in the air to land head-first on the street. Although I was horrified by the accident, this nowhere approached my horror at the reactions to the accident. As this guy lay there in the street, many of the other children gathered around the scene, shouting things like, "Cool! Look at all the blood!" The thought of this still freaks me out.

My sister forced me to watch a chucky movie saying it will help me "face my fears". It didn't help at all. She also forced me to take a freezing cold bath when I got a cold, I ended up going to the hospital and I thought I was gonna die. She wasn't the brightest child, she thought if she touched herself she'd get pregnant. Ironically, me and her are like BFFs now.

Personally, the scariest thing was the Dead Fishermen scene in Godzilla: 1985. Some dude goes on this boat that looks abandoned, and all the guys on it are dead, and I guess have been dead for a long time. That creeped me out, but when the guy turns to the lockers, his geiger counter goes batshit and then this huge bug thing that's the size of a Christmas Ham jumps at him.

The guy stabs it and brings it back to the lab for examination, and they find out it was just a sea-louse that was irradiated…

Even today, after playing Amnesia and watching all of the Friday the 13th movies, that scene still freaks me out.

Good god… This gave me nightmares for weeks. Man, I just nostalgia'd everywhere…

/shudders
My school had a version of that, but I am actually too scared to type it, it scared us all enough but then this bully started leaving notes, saying to be from this guy, notes that were directed at me around the school. Needless to say it fucked me up real bad and to this day I try not to look in mirrors whenever possible, that bully eventually got expelled, the first kid to be expelled from that school, after all, it was a "good Catholic school" He was actually expelled for physically tearing a girl's hair out. This guy also gave me a lot of scary moments.
