Movies that gave you PTSD as a kid :)

[WillBrink]

Don't you hate that? I was kinda digging Hostel until they started torturing people. If there are two emotions I really don't want to mix it's "Wow...she's really hot" and "OMFG he just cut her eye out!!!"

I generally worry about some people who are into the slasher / gore movies. I try and remind myself that the same concerns were raised in the 1930s and 1950s with respect to horror films such as Dracula and Frankenstein. But I still worry about some of the people who are into slasher / gore movies.

From an early age, when they started combining sex with torture and violence, it disturbed the hell out me, and I had no interest. The "murder porn" genre (to use the South Park term) crosses a line that all my warning bells sounded, and even though fictional, not for me. I don't recall names, but seems like late 70s- 80s those really became a thing, and I got up left my friends in grade school in a theater being freaked out. F that.

Wizard of Oz.
Flying monkeys were bad stuff to a little kid.
The witch was pretty bad too.

Those bastards alone were reason enough for God to give us the Auto Assault-12.

“The Road”. Dystopian (and depressing) as hell. Bad stuff happening to kids really gets to me nowadays.

Moose-Knuckle, your avatar reminded me of Space:1999, which was another show that gave me PTSD as a kid. Especially scenes like this:

Talk about blast from the past. Forgot all about that show. Loved it as a kid. Special effects, etc were cheesy as fu%e, but I didn't care.

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.

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.

Only thing good about that awful movie was the theme song, which is still a favorite and on rotation for listening to this day for me:

Gonna disagree. Loved the movie, even love the original version.
