So I had this silly idea of a thread last night while I was lying in bed, trying to fall asleep. Pretty sure we've done this before, but still, it couldn't hurt to do it again.
Since we all know kids have the most active imagination ever - what things scared the shit out of you when you were young? And I'm not only looking for genuinely scary stuff - the more interesting part would be to find things that seem pretty harmless now, but back then, were terrifying. Like a scene in a movie that now makes you go "why did this scare me so much back then?". This can be something imaginary as well. If you thought a giant werewolf was standing right in front of your bed every night back when you were 6, then yeah, go ahead and post it.
In any case, here's mine.
There was this old 80s movie called The Peanut Butter Solution, and there's a scene where this kid goes into an abandoned house a gets the living hell scared out of him. And I don't think the camera ever shows what happens, yet I still had nightmares of it for weeks.
The other one is from the DnD cartoon. Yeah, this one. There was this scene in which one of the female main characters looks into this magic mirror, which somehow ages her so much that she turns into an old lady. This transformation also scared the shit out of me back then for some reason.
Alright, that's all I could think of for now. Your turn, gogogo!
