Movies that gave you PTSD as a kid :)

Ah, another classic!

My avatar is from the artwork on the album Gravity X by the the psychedelic rock band Truckfighters hailing from Örebro, Sweden.

Interesting! I wonder why they chose Martin Landau in Eagle Pilot gear as their album cover.

Not sure, but they probably where fans of the show. I dig that type of artwork, especially from retro sci-fi.

If you like that sort of thing, The Vault Of The Atomic Space Age is your friend.

Your very welcome.

Still trying to talk my wife in putting this artwork from 2001 in the living room, maybe if I ever get me one of those man cave thingies.

I created a thread years ago entitled The quintessential SHTF movie & television thread, a lot of people said the same thing about The Road. I always found the movie to be realistic thus a must see. Cormac McCarthy said he wrote the book as a father and son story, it's just the background is set ten years after the collapse of civilization instead of on a boat or some other scenario. He dedicated the critically acclaimed book to his son. The book was much darker, especially concerning the outcome of children in that type of world.

We need more movies like "The Road". Probably the best overall SHTF movie ever made.

Space 1999 was cool as a kid. The miniature work was good for a low budget TV show. That episode where the alien sucked people in and spit out the dehydrated corpse had me hooked.

I still have a very high-quality eagle model in the display case.

I agree.

It's actually a beautiful touching story under all the brutal stuff, the love of a father for his son.

The burnt walking dude with glowing eyes is another episode that freaked me out as a kid:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. When I was a kid the scene with all those bugs creeped me out. I was afraid to put my feet on the floor at night

That movie was soul crushing. Right up there with Savior and the remake of On The Beach as one of the most brutal films ever made. Worst part about the Road is even if his kid with the new family who has a dog survives, it's still the end of everything and humanity isn't going to recover, they are just dragging out the inevitable. Even if you found a warehouse with a lifetime supply of non perishable food, you would spend the rest of your life trying to defend it and would eventually lose.

If it was me, I'd probably spend a few years trying to survive but would ultimately come to the conclusion that this is no way to live and would do whatever is important to me while I still could then check out as painlessly as possible.
