Charlie and the chocolate factory (the old one), I remember watching it as a kid in school and being too scared after breaktime to go back into class to finish watching it 
The witches had a similar effect. |

Have you ever seen a film called Plague Dogs? It's like Watership Down, but worse!! Honestly, search for the famer scene on Youtube |

I suppose it depends on if the film is age appropriate.
Watching the fly remake as a 6-7 year old was horrific due to the gore. But then again it was an 18.
Watching Optimus Prime die was sad and more age appropriate.

"Threads.
Docu-drama about nuclear war.
Was shown it at school.
"
Fuck that's rough, at school. I seen it as a kid popping my head into the cinema room of a nuclear bunker tourist attraction (against the advise of the warning on the door). Not graphic but very disturbing. Especially considering its predictions weren't fiction as such but expected outcomes. |

"What films traumatised you as a kid ?
Lassie come home and the Incredible shrinking man for me !!"
Doesn’t really count I suppose cause I wasn’t a kid when I saw this film, but “ Schindler’s List “ fair traumatised me as an adult.
I do remember going to bed frequently after Hammer House of Horror films with that exquisite contradiction of feeling safe in my bed but terrified of potential vampires and ware wolves and Frankenstein’s monsters roaming around the countryside outside of my house! |

I went to a film night at the local youth centre with my brother when I was... no idea. Younger than 9.
They had on what I remember to be a cheesy horror. No idea what it was called, but the bit I remember had a women in a bath, and I believe a monster came up through it. I think it had a fin on its head or something.
That actually scared me off having bubbles in the bath for a while.
Wish I knew what film that was, as it was my very first horror. |

Not strictly a movie but an episode of Tales of the Unexpected called Royal Jelly
The father feeds his baby royal jelly to help with nourishment but by the end the baby is turning into a bee….. illogical I know but I’ve still never touched honey |

All the usual childhood suspects mentioned but also Zoltan Hound of Dracula (about a vampire Doberman no less). Persuaded my soft touch Nan to let me stay up late on my own to watch a film about a dog on Channel 4. Never again! |

My mam refused to let my watch IT. I had a sleepover and she let me and my friends sleep downstairs so we stole the video and watched it. That scene where he comes out the shower head scared the shit out of me |

"When the horse is in the quicksand in The Never ending story "
Yes! What makes it even worse is it is not just trapped and sinks.
It actually overcomes with sadness and dispair, and just gives up. |

"Watershipdown.. I've still never seen the whole film"
I saw that first at an age when it didn't make all that much sense to me (more than once) so I was sort of desensitised to it by the time I understood it enough. |

Hocus pocus and Jumanji
The knocking from the box haunts me. I've watched the new ones but I cannot, and will not, watch the original. Which is sad because I love Robin Williams.
And Hocus Pocus just freaked me out. Still don't want to watch it again. |

Not as a kid but an adult...that film about the end of the world with Steve Carrel and Kiera Knightly. It was supposed to be a comedy but messed with my dreams for a couple of nights! |

The lad in that film bonded with the horse so well, that they let him have it after filming. |

"Jurassic park, cheers mum."
My favourite set of films. I was 25 and in hospital when the first one was released, I also read the book in hospital - hard backed too. I was warned by the nurses not to have nightmares about T-rexes |

Any werewolf or Dracula films traumatised me, to the point I’d start having a panic attack when in bed - i stopped watching them but carried on having panic attacks |

Agreed this scene is super disturbing.
I saw Aliens when I was 8 gave me nightmares for a week its now one of my favourite films
Miri saw Nightmare on Elms St when she was 10 had the same effect on her that Aliens did to me. She now loves a good horror film.

Off the top of my head three films I can think off that scared me when I was a kid..
Grown up now I can enjoy these kind of films and I actually root for the villain as they to be gruesome and savage 
- Jeepers Creepers (remembered being scared shitless at the scene the demonic creature is in the police station jail where it kills and ends up eating one off the inmates body parts to regenerate)
- Nightmare on elm street 3 (yep I was a little paranoid about dreams after not to mention I was afraid of going into the basement)
- Arachnaphobia (spiders creepy...especially poisonous ones)

After having been traumatized by the wolf in The Neverending Story and "advised" by my parents to steer clear of The Gremlins as a consequence, I think it took me until my 30s to watch The Gremlins while just peaking through the hand in front of my eyes
As an adult - 28 days later 
I don't do horror or psycho now. I'd be a nervous wreck |
