22 Movies That Left A Generation Of Kids Traumatized

Recently, we wrote about the films that have absolutely scarred an entire generation. And, in response, we got SO MANY MORE good suggestions from our BuzzFeed Community. Here are even more movies that emotionally traumatized kids when they were younger:

1.The Dark Crystal: "That shit was creepy AF."

2.Dumbo: "I'm 47 and, still to this very day, I cannot watch that movie."

3.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: "For some reason, my mom thought it was a great idea to take 3-year-old me to see a special release in the theaters. The whole Child Catcher thing traumatized me. We had to leave the theater because I was screaming. To be fair… she wasn’t the only parent rushing their kid out during that part of the movie. Even 50+ years later, I still can’t watch that damn movie."

4.The Fox and the Hound: "I am middle-aged and still cannot even think of watching it again."

5.My Girl: "It starts off so cute and innocent and then he just... dies?!"

6.The Empire Strikes Back: "I was three or four when I first saw it, and the lightsaber duel between Vader and Luke over Cloud City gave me nightmares for years! Especially after Vader cut Luke’s hand off, Luke fell down that ventilation shaft and was hanging on that wiring with literally nothing below him."

7.Where The Red Fern Grows: "It was twice as traumatizing as Old Yeller. That movie still devastates me to this day. Old Dan and Little Ann, I mean, come on."

8.Monster House: "I saw it when I was seven and it absolutely terrified me. Coraline, too, but Monster House is the one that sticks out the most."

9.Spirited Away: "Strangely horrifying."

10.Poltergeist: "No other film activated childhood fears like that masterpiece. We're talking clown dolls, stretching hallways, eerie lights, televisions with no signal, and the fucked up gnarled tree in the backyard — I could go on for days!"

11.Final Destination: "It still has me paranoid about so many everyday things turning into life-threatening situations!!!"

12.The Thief and the Cobbler: "I couldn’t be in the room while my sister was watching it."

13.The Spiderwick Chronicles: "It traumatized me as a kid and made me think there were evil creatures waiting to attack me. My house was gated and had a tree and bushes all around and up the path to the door, and I was scared they were hiding in them or waiting outside the gate."

14.The Little Engine That Could: "Not the 2000s CGI crap. The hand-drawn one. The mountain scene."

15.The Last Unicorn: "I felt so bad for the unicorn the whole time. Like how horrible to be the only one left."

16.The Velveteen Rabbit: "I made my husband watch it with me and, when it was over, he goes, 'Oh...this explains a lot.'"

17.Dot and the Kangaroo: "It was about a mother Kangaroo and her baby and, I barely remember much of it, except the end when the animation became real and the mother Kangaroo was calling out to her Joey. I cried for days."

18.The Earthling: "In the beginning, the kid's parents go over a cliff and he's left all alone in the woods. He goes down to the bottom and looks at the crushed upside-down RV. The utter despair."

19.Thumbelina: "It hurt my tiny baby heart when I was younger."

20.The Pagemaster: "The Jekyll and Hyde scene TERRIFIED me as a kid! I had my first real nightmare after that movie, and I still remember all the details 30 years later."

21.The Plague Dogs: "It was brutal. I cried all the way through that movie."

22.Babes in Toyland: "My family went camping in the Utah mountains every year when I was a kid. I watched the Forest of No Return's trees sing in Babes in Toyland, and I could not camp after that."
