I remember being really disturbed when the little kid is killed in the sewer.
I think I was about the age of those two kids (9 or 10) when I saw the flick and I had a close neighborhood buddy that I'd always hang out with, so that connection was there.
Being a kid and seeing a kid die a horrible death in a film hit me much harder than the countless adults that would bite the big one in action and/or horror flicks.
o.k so one film that should have been o.k for me as a child but scared the shit out of me...
mmhh... I guess that rare (japanese? looked like anime) cartoon version of swan lake, I remember seeing the trailer with all the guys turning into swans, it WAS creepy.
and the one part of the Care Bears movie where all the children are turned to stone, near the end, It was quite unsettling for my young self.

It.
that specifically, friends and I use to play near sewers and sometimes went in them to get out balls and stuff...
This. This movie scarred me for life. Oh my god, I was afraid to enter bathrooms for years (the scene with the blood in the sink).

Nightmare Before Christmas and Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Both are now some of my favorite films.
Nightmare? Something about claymation still freaks me out to this day. Its just unsettling.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit scared me exclusively because of the "REMEMBAH WHEN I KILLED YA BROTHAH?!" scene. I nearly shit a brick as a kid.
Edit: This fucking scene right here

I remember being at a family friends' house probably 30 years ago, parents were upstairs and I was downstairs in the rec room alone. I turned on their VCR and popped in Friday the 13th IV.

That scene started playing,and scared the bajeebus out of me.
Ironically, years later, I eventually turned into a huge horror buff.

The library scene at the beginning of Ghostbusters scared the crap out of me so bad that I didn't go into libraries for awhile. I remember in pre-school we took a trip to a local library because they had a small collection of Native American artifacts but before we went I cried and had a huge tantrum because I didn't want to go.
Jaws also scared me pretty badly and I couldn't go into an aquarium until I was 15. I seem to recall I had a similar tantrum in second grade about going on a field trip to an aquarium.

Ok I cared to read the entire OP...and I 'm gonna say this Disney Classic children's feature gave me all sorts of physiological disturbance after watching it... How does a good friend turn on you like that? life's so fucking unfair!!
Such a great example of a movie that trolls it's audience, in this case the audience being unsuspecting innocent children. First act is all about what kids love to see in cartoons, friendship and love and cutness...
When all a sudden... shit starts to take a turn for worst with dark and graphic imagery of desperateness and of animals, mauling and growling at each other in hatred!
Don't show this film to anyone under 10, trust me.

When it came to that scene, I'd immediately duck under my covers, especially when the guy gets his head eaten by the T-rex while on the toilet. I'm cool with it now, though.
I loved this shit as a kid.. This on the other hand was the stuff of nightmares.

and the series finale was one of the most depressing things ever designed for TV.

Saw this when I was six. Scared me to death, when I was younger I was terrified of clowns.
Still hate them.

Edit: Nvm then.
This and any 70s-80s horror movies gave me nightmares. Now, these films are my favorites.

The cornfield scene scared the fuck out of 6 year-old me.

I was thinking about starting a thread about just this topic but, seeing as this one is so recent, I hope no one minds the bump.

There are two movies that scarred me for life.
One of them was a mini-series named Chiefs that was on back in the early 80's. I still have the VHS recording that my parents made when they watched the show, as a rerun, on TBS.
Whenever I see Keith Carradine, to this day, I think of Foxy Funderburke and cringe. This guy, right here, is the stuff of nightmares.
The second movie was also a made for TV film named Adam. I'm sure that every American child in my age demographic was scared witless by this film.
I find it even more disturbing that this mini-series and this movie were both broadcast initially by CBS in Oct-Nov 1983.
