there were movies that terrified me, but honestly none that I was like, "No! I'm not watching that movie for a LOOOOONG time". I was TERRIFIED of the Exorcist and my parents let me watch it with them when I was young as fukk. I assume they expected I would end up running out of the room but I would just hide under the covers when shyt got too real for me, but it was fun/an adrenaline rush at the same time. So even though that scared the hell out of me I still rewatched it down the road because I wanted to obviously see how scared my friends would be when they came over and watched the movie as well. Chucky from Child's Play used to scared the shyt out of me, I must've seen that when I was really really really young, probably younger then most other horror films because I remember my older sisters renting it and watching it and I saw certain parts of it even though I wasn't technically allowed to watch it. What scared me most was how fukking FAST Chucky could run and how fast his legs moved when they have that shot of him running behind the couch so you only see his legs moving. My sisters fukked with me for years with that Chucky shyt. I also had a "My Buddy" Doll that I immediately tossed into the basement after seeing the film, then, for years if I had to go into the basement I would fukking run as fast as I could and get what I needed then run back upstairs because I was scared of him. But I don't recall making a conscious effort to not watch the movie, as I saw some of the sequels.
