Funny how he's selling chicken now, but when it was the 80's it was nothing but bloody carnage.

Only 80's kids get why they need a drink or two to sleep at night
- Thread starter Slayven

I've got feeling we're gonna see a big backlash on this in the 20s. The coddling. Theres a lot of research into how minor disturbances/painful experiences in childhood actually help a kid's development. (I mean stuff like shows and unsupervised play, not really heavy shit or anything.) Without that stuff you never gain a toolkit for adult life or independence - no coping mechanisms, perspective, resilience, etc
First movie that came to mind was Garbage Pail Kids when I saw the title because I was thinking this was going to be about movies so bad we had to drink to forget about them.
I really liked The Cat's Eye as a kid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Cats Eye...
I had uh, when u wake up and can't move? Invisible thing crawling on me... clearly it was this fucking puppet man thing.
Nothing in Robocop bothered me, even the brutal killing or Murphy, except this shit.Funny how he's selling chicken now, but when it was the 80's it was nothing but bloody carnage.

90's kids have Witches
TBH, this is borderline at best seeing that it came out only a couple months into 1990, I'd wager most of the kid audience in theaters was 80s kids.
ET was fucking nightmare fuel for me, I was three when I saw it on a rerelease had nightmares of ET's projected head floating over me saying threatening to kill me. ET turning dogshit white while dying is also something that made me not want to watch it again without avoiding that scene until I was a teenager.

The original Transformers Movie.
To help recover from this, here's the single most bad ass moment from any 80's animation ever.
Sorry fam, but everything else in this thread is nothing comparatively. These weren't some one off cartoon rodents we were just meeting... These were life long toys and companions we saw fucking murdered graphically in ways that would be deemed rated R with the amount of dismemberment and gore... but it was the 80's and those are technically robots so I'm sure it'll leave no scarring on small children!

Fuck this movie
Fuck the commercial ads that they played for this movie on October
Fuck this movie x9
But i did see this movie AS A CHILD BECAUSE MY MOM WAS A HORROR ADDICT VIA A VHS SHE RENTED AT A LOCAL VIDEO STORE AND I WAS FUCKING CURIOUS
Fuck this movie x2 million
Now if someone can post that Poltergeist movie where the family goes to the netherworld and you see the demon thingie with all the people stuck to it, my nightmare would now be complete
Growing up in the 80's/early 90's it seemed like a lot of things that were made for that age range actually treated the audience like they were mature and could think for themselves, those movies actually had some good life lessons in it and messages but they weren't afraid to throw in the horror or other things, especially compared to movies of today aimed at the same target audience.
I mean take The NeverEnding Story, the Artax scene in the swamp, the Gmork scene in the cave, these kinds of things were stuff you'd see in movies yet today seeing many movies aimed at that age they seem a lot more shallow in terms of how far they go with that kind of stuff.
The sad things or gore? Usually toned down or it's done "off screen" so you don't see it. It seems like things are a lot more toned down these days as far as movies made in like the PG/PG-13 age range, also the fact that most of them are CGI or animated these days rather then live action with props and such, which to me made them look more real.
I remembered in The Gate that dog scene, where he's dancing with his mom and then it turns into his dead dog always gave me the shivers.

Yup. I had nightmares. Couldn't sleep alone. It was awful.
The Wheelers from Return to Oz gave me nightmares for months, those were no joke.
My contribution (Neverending Story)
No lie this shit fucking scared me as a kid
That's an 80s movieyeah well 90's kids had the Brave Little Toaster
So when people say "80s kids" or "90s kids" does that mean people born in the decade or were just kids during the decade?
Anyway, this was always weird:
More like '70s, but this terrified me as a kid, coming as it did right after the apparent death of the fat German kid (which didn't seem to bother anyone).:

I'm glad there isn't sound to go with this. This is still heartbreaking.
Are you trying to seem like a cool kid and invalidate the generations that came after you? Then the latter. Are you trying to give yourself undue street cred about an issue that didn't really effect you? The former.

Also, for the people who are posting Watership Down, ever see Plague Dogs (I believe same author. I saw that one first, Watership Down seemed cheery in comparison).

I might be imagining things but I remember there being a jim henson version of Animal Farm
i couldn't sleep the night of seeing this
That's it; that's the one right there.
90s/2000s kid here. Got Watership Down on DVD for Christmas one year, and I knew absolutely nothing about it. That movie really fucked me up.
Watership Down
This is so god damn disturbing if you don't know what you are getting into. So many kids got scarred.

I thought you was a 90's baby?
Scary indeed.
80s kid, 90s teenager. :p

Why did this feel more real than everything else LOL
I take it that y'all weren't "Real Ghostbusters" kids. The fucked up shit in there prepared me for nearly anything ghastly.

I routinely forget this movie exists, I'd like to keep it that way please. Thank you.
Yea, screw that movie.
I'm surprised Hellraiser I & II haven't been posted.
I had a different effect myself. I felt really bad for that 1 monster dude who got stuck down as a kid and he can't be a kid again forever. I felt guilty as fuck everytime I see that movie...
There was a bunch of '70s stuff still on TV, especially from Hanna-Barbera.
And my elementary school played Rikki-Tikki-Tavi at lunch on some rain days.
Well, I think the Hellraiser movies are very much removed from anything kid-related... but I get your point, those movies are fucked up. And the first one is an absolute horror masterpiece.
And one of the major reasons PG-13 exists!I hear you! Remember Gremlins, that sweet family comedy? This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid...
A bit above me, but my cousins tell an epic story of when their mom brought them to the mall to watch it and thought it would be ok to leave them while she shopped (which was absolutely a thing people were cool with). They got fucked up for years as a result.
