Detective D, that was Carrie.
I don't want to redamage your psyche, but here's the scene. Carrie's mom was ultra-religious and thought she needed to kill Carrie. Through telekinesis, Carrie sends multiple knives across the room killing her. Therefore turning the mother into a representation of Saint Sebastian.

Saw this 1956 movie when I was 7 and didn't know it was fiction. Was afraid to go to sleep for a long time after that!

Deer Hunter 1974 had to register for the draft. Still haven’t watched it the second time. Once was enough. What guys went through during that war was and still is terrible.
Burnt Offerings and The Changeling!

The end of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry bothered me.
Same with Vanishing Point.
But seriously, Folks....
I wasn't one to be scared by a movie, though I did enjoy them. The worst are the sudden movement, the loud noise, the gore...Those are lazy and cheap gags to surprise you. The real quality comes from a slow build where suspense is in play. That takes talent and skill. Halloween was one that built on suspense. The hand coming out of the ground in Carrie was sort of a mix between a shock/surprise and a scare.

Saw Alien in the theater in '79 when I was 10. I've never been quite right ever since...

They showed us a film in school 1st or 2nd grade called The Child Molester (1964). It literally scared the crap out of my 7 year old self..

Westworld and this cheesy horror movie where a guy becomes a giant and grows to where half his skin is missing.
But Westworld gave me nightmares, I saw these when I when I was around 5.

More uncomfortably bothersome than scared for me, was the sexual assault in Billy Jack or The Born Losers, not sure which.

The original Wolfman with Lon Chaney as the character!!! Always scared the ever-lovin' "stuffin" out of me as a kid!!! Now I'm dating myself I know, but I still cannot get a grip on all the Slasher Movies to this day. Just do not like being frightened and scared even though they are just stories brought to life by film!!! cr8crshr/Bill
