10 Movies Your Kids Should Watch If They Want to Have Nightmares

Like I did. I started this post 2 years ago (no joke) but never finished it. These are the 10 movies that as an adult, I still think about when I'm afraid. Today in a group someone posted an image asking for members to share a gif of a movie that traumatized them. Here are all 10 of mine.

1) Never Ending Story:

That dog still haunts me today.

2) The Wizard of Oz:

As if a creepy witch wasn't enough. They have the Wizard and his loud voice and the Oompa Loompas. It's too much!

3) The TV version of any Chucky movie.

 I dont know how my sister and I got so lucky as to be home alone with that on, but we were glued to the tv although it was still psycho. No wonder we are the way we are. I was about 9 when I watched my first one.

4) The Pelican Brief

Maybe we should change the title of this to movies I shouldn't have watched as a kid. Lol.

5) All Dogs Go to Heaven

I honestly only remember being traumatized by this movie. Not that it was scary, just really depressing,

6) The Ring

Whose hand did you hold during this one?

7) Sixth Sense

Do you remember the moment your found out about him? 

8) True Crime 

This was another USA or Lifetime movie. I just rewatched part of it. It's really really really scary. Not good.

9) Scream

Thanks Uncle Eric. This is your fault.

10)  E. Freaking T.

Need I say more?


Now I know this list is not all-inclusive.  Thankfully I've avoided watching IT for 33 years of my life. What else would you add?
