" I was 16 when I get wind that , and my mummy literally had to contain my hand to walk me to my way that night . "

While it can be fun to watch ahorror movieevery now and then, sometimes, a really scary film will stick with you forever. So when a Reddit userasked: “What is a movie that traumatized you so badly as a kid that you are still afraid of it as an adult?” I thought I would share their answers below:

1.“I never watched the full video inThe Ring. When I watch the film, at that one part, I’ll still close my eyes when the video is running. My phone won’t ring mfers.”

" Holy hell , you ca n’t imagine how goodThe Ring ’s marketing was back in the 24-hour interval . think of : search for something on the internet was n’t as useful or even possible .

It ’s the middle of the nighttime , and you ’re determine some random show .

Goes to commercial-grade respite .

And then you seeThe Ring .

It was extremely jarring and candidly frightening , and having no explanation about what you just watch … I recall being dead fascinated by it . I would stay up late and prove to think what channels / shows play this ad . "

5.“For me, this would be allThe Grudgemovies:Ju-on, and the American remakes as well. When I was about 11, we were having a sleepover at my friend’s house and decided that it would be a good idea to watch his older brother’sGrudgemovies, because ‘We are big boys, we can handle it.’ It’s safe to say I didn’t sleep much that night and was scared shitless by literally anything for many months to come. That crackling sound still haunts me to this day. Not the smartest decision that I’ve ever made…”

" The Grudgemessed me up as an adult man . I used to work a stack of late nights at the office in a high-pitched - advance in Chicago ( nineteenth flooring ) . tardily at Nox , I was often the only one on that floor of the building , and most of the Christ Within were off . The bathroom was on the other side of the building from my cubicle . When I walked to the bathroom in the dark office , I had to walk past the door to the exigency stairwell . Every time I walk past that stairwell , I thought ofThe Grudge , and I thought there might be a monster in the stairwell waiting to get me . Good time . "
