When I was about their age my brothers and sisters locked me in the family room and turned the thriller music video on while I was sleep. I woke up to Michael staring into my soul and to this day that video gets to me. I can watch any horror movie ever made and not feel fear but for some reason seeing Mike as a ghoul or whatever the hell he was shook me to core.
I had a similar experience, and it sounds like we’re around the same age, too.
When I was a kid, my dad let me watch Alien, and the first time I saw the Xenomorph, it left me with such an intense fear that everything else suddenly seemed harmless by comparison. Ghosts, zombies, or standard monsters weren't worth talking about anymore. I developed a genuine, deep-seated fear of extraterrestrials.
As I got older, around 14 to 16, I watched Signs for the first time, and for years, that was the scariest movie in the world to me.
Yup same thing for me and Ghost. When the demons come to grab the gangster guy in the alley and take him to hell after he died in the street…. Yeah still to this day I am afraid of that scene
