1930s king kong movie I saw when I was 4 or 5, and in particular this scene (55 seconds in) where kong gets mad and stamps on someone. Had nightmares for years about it |

Nuclear war for me too, and I was in my 30s when I first saw Threads. Imagine if I'd seen it back in 1984! I'd have been a gibbering wreck!
Industrial Schools. Used to get threatened with being sent to one by my family. I had a fear of convent buildings for a long time, there are one or two that, when I pass them, I feel a bit queasy. |

I read the book "Dracula" when I was about 12.
The scenes where little black dots dance in the moonlight and then coalesce into a bat outside the window....I couldn't sleep for weeks. Always imagined that image when ever I'd see the moon through a window. Gives me the creeps to this day. |

Nuclear war did it for me too. I was 11 back in 1983 when RTE showed a TV movie called 'The Day After', that had caused sensation in the US. I didn't watch it, but even the trailers for it freaked me out at the thought that it could really happen.
I remember reading a book around the same time, called "World's Greatest Predictions" or something like that, where there was a chapter about how somebody (not Nostradamus!) was predicting the world would end in 1999. It terrified me too, and I tried to convince myself that I'd at least have 16 years to forget about it, but I still remember it to this day. Then about a year later, the first horror movie I saw was the original Salem's Lot, with this scene: I still don't like sleeping in a room with the curtains open! |
