The first film I watched as a kid that affected my dreams was The Birds. Not nightmares but I did dream a lot about birds swarming.

Films back then though - there just wasn't the scare filled stuff that you get now - even cheap crap can have good jump scares in them.

The fuck there wasn't the cheap scares. They were just fewer. This is still the jump scare that affected me the most.

Look and Read Dark Towers scared me as a kid.
Its something about the shonkiness that makes it unsettling.
Fun fact the Knight at the end was played by Peter Mahew of Chewbacca fame.

I don’t have any little ones yet but reading this is very interesting. I’m very much in the ‘didn’t do me any harm camp’ but that could very well change when it happens.

There’s one bit of that where a ghost turns up in a bed. I was so upset at school that they took me out of the class whenever they showed them again.

Also terrified of that library ghost in Ghostbusters.

Well if we’re now just discussing stuff that scared us when we were young, then I give you ‘Chocky’:

Even now it creeps me out. And it was only an ITV kids show.

I had night terrors when I was a kid. They got so bad my parents took me to the doctors. Apparently one of the things I'd wake up screaming about were the Gummi Bears. So there's really no telling what might upset a kid's mind.

Exactly, Moot, exactly...
