Disney villains have disturbing deaths. Ursula got stabbed in the stomach. Clayton from Tarzan hung himself. Dr facilier was dragged into the underworld. I can name off a lot but you get the point
Wicked Queen in Snow White had a cliff break under her thanks to a bolt of lightning and the boulder she was trying to crush the dwarfs with ended up crushing her
The scene where the boy transformed into a donkey while crying for his mom in Pinocchio scared the hell out of me as a kid. I still get chills whenever I see it now as an adult.
I know this Disney classic from my childhood. Believe it or not, I was not scared of this cartoon. I was satisfied at the end with Pluto learn a hard (and terrifying) lesson in empathy. Yes, dogs chasing cats is a classic cliche' , but if you pay attention to the tone of the music and the expressions on the kitten's and Pluto's faces, you can see that this chase scene isn't suppose to be funny. That kitten was scared for his life while Pluto chases it relentlessly like a berserk mad dog. In other cartoons like those from Warner Bros. involving Sylvester and that Bulldog for example, it's funny right there because we know one of them will give the other their just desserts. With Pluto in this cartoon, he done something genuinely bad and Mickey called him out angrily for it. As scary this Disney cartoon was, it still tells a cautionary story about when you do bad thing to others, you deserve what's coming to you.
kind of like most other age gates. like, how are they to learn to handle alcohol responsibly. best method we have come up with in the US is to let them legally drink just after they have moved out of the house. Where they are surrounded by peers that just passed that age gate. all most age gates are is a attempt to protect someone from there own stupidity. When it would be much better to teach them not to be idiots. Instead of expecting them to learn on there own, later.
My childhood trauma has to be when I watched Indiana Jones where Indie was witnessing that witch doctor who can take out your heart and toss it into the fire. For the longest time I would fall asleep laying on my side and my arm over my chest so the asshole didn't appear and take my own heart. Oh jeez it was horrible. Did that for three years.
Dumbo was my childhood trauma. Just...everything about it. The mother being whipped in the circus, Dumbo crying, and the trippy ass drunk dream Dumbo had with the pink elephants. Also, I love your Armin plush!
This was nothing!, There is an episode of Tom and Jerry that got banned called "Heavenly Puss" where Tom dies and he gets sent to hell, only to find out that it was a dream, talk about nightmares *SHUDDERS*
yup, in those days, before T.V., cartoons were shown on the big screen before the feature film started, and covered everything from, the work ethic, to hell, to selling bonds for the war effort. Not necessarily aimed at children. I would admit much of anime is DEFINITELY not aimed at children either. #UnabashedOTAKU
personally kids these days need to grow a pair..almost every cartoon or show has very little conflict, not saying scar them for life (lol) ..i loved creepy cartoons/movies even the ones that really scared me
Decbabe85 I hope your joking. Cartoon today get away get with a a lot of dark shit. Have you seen Gravity falls? Or the newer seasons of adventure time? And so much more.
One I could think of is the opening scene to The Great Mouse Detective when you see the bat's face up close........ scared the crap out of me when I was little
My childhood trauma was the Spongebob episode Gift of Gum... Reason? I have sensory issues and the thought of being trapped chewed gum not only grossed me out but frightened me.
My childhood trauma was actually all from Disney. The whole scene in Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent lead Aurora to the spindle and trapped her. The whole oyster scene in Alice in Wonderland. Finally, the first five minutes of Finding Nemo with all those fish being eaten. I remember insisting on watching it because I liked the rest of the movie but for the first five minutes I would hide behind the couch.
algol291 Yeah, but what cat would be able to consume a mouse that size? Except maybe Pete. Come to think of it, in the short "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip", Pete says he used to own a cat. Isn't that technically slavery? And now I've ruined a beloved Disney character. You're welcome.
my childhood trauma can be described by a simple movie title: JAWS. I would try falling asleep at night and just picture the shark biting my legs off, to the point where I would wake up with a scream
My childhood trauma is when my cheek was torn open when I was 2 and they had to put 9 stitches in there. I was scared of dogs for until I was 12 to the point where I couldn't even see a puppy without feeling frightened. Luckily I am over that now and now I have and absolutely love 3 dogs.
Mine is coralline those fucking button eyes and the ghost of Christmas yet to come in the muppets Christmas carol and the Disney version it's so fucking scary
The funny thing about the Halloween promo that involved a graveyard in the background is that both the music and the image were from "The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad". The music playing is a brief loop during the court scene from 'Mr. Toad', when Rat and Mole are approaching the stand, while the graveyard is seen in the beginning of 'Ichabod' during Bing Crosby's narration describing the history of Sleepy Hollow (which is ironic since they even had this promo shown at the end of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow VHS, no joke).
Mine is TWO childhood traumas. One is begin Spiderman, at the end of Muppet Babies. It was around the 1980s, and I loved the Muppet Babies. That is, until the end of the credits, I was greeted with a creepy spider man on the M, staring at me with his glowing evil eyes. This was Spiderman, and when he got on the Marvel Productions logo, he stares at me, looking at me, saying "I'm gonna get you." I screamed, seeing that Spiderman face, and I was like 5 or 6. I screamed, and hid in bed, and was traumatized by that evil nightmare fuel induced logo. This was a time before "Nightmare Fuel" became a key role in scary logos. Looking back, I was still traumatized, seeing Spiderman's metallic blue face at the end of Muppet Babies and or shows from Marvel Productions. But looking back, I shouted to myself, "Why does Peter Parker have to traumatize me like that?" I still am traumatized of it, to this day. And I still have nightmares of Spiderman, including that haunting horn outro at the end of Muppet Babies. Another I'm traumatized of in my childhood is snowmen, and how they melt into piles of slush. Yes, I know they are just snow and ice, but when they melt, that's worse off... When I was like 3 or 4, I watched a cartoon called "The Snowman", which is based off of a children's book. Anyway, in my childhood days, I fantasize about snowmen all around me, in weird coal mouths and eyes, staring at me, wanting to hug me, and even look like melted distorted faces. I'm not going to explain why I am afraid of snowmen, and I still am to MOST snowmen, but that day, when I saw the snowman melted in the cartoon, my life changed... for the worst. There's a reason why I hated snowmen in Christmas, but I did enjoy Bad Mr. Frosty of Clayfighter 63 1/3; not his first look in the original. You know, the way I explained my childhood traumas... I feel like going to a shrink.
Rock-a-doodle. And the first all dogs go to heaven, but mostly rock-a-doodle. Bluth's philosophy of testing what traumatic imagery kids can put up with before tacking on a positive ending, was never more relevant to me than it was in rock-a-doodle.
DemiTrusdale3 Really? Rock A Doodle scared you? Not Secret of NIMH, American Tail or Lands Before Time? You know, the Don Bluth movies that are ACTUALLY scary?
I used to work at the IMAX Theatres and we played BEOWOLF, and adults brought their kids.....I'd look and say this is rated r u know. They go in......5 to 10 minutes later they come out and go, can I get a refund? I go Awwww, WHY?! (sarcasm)
The place i went to see it (a military base), had half of the theater empty out with enrage parents that even wrote to the local paper about it. Kids would love the movie but I believe some parents never even heard of South Park and brought their kids because they wanted to see it not knowing what that show is about.
Dare I bring up how many people were dumb enough to take their little kids to see the R-RATED DEADPOOL MOVIE?! Some of the "not safe for kids" violence was even in the trailers, how could they possibly not have known about it?! >.
My childhood Trauma was when I watched the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy gets locked in the Witch's castle & Auntie Em's face turns into the Wicked Witch. That scared me.
I can think of three moments: The wolf Gmork from The Neverending Story, who looked like he just missed out on the title role in An American Werewolf in London, The Nightmare King from Little Nemo, And finally, the Disney World attraction ExtraTERRORestrial: Alien Encounter, which originally tried to get the rights to use the Xenomorph from Aliens before they decided to make their own nightmarish monstrosity to lock you in a dark room with. With glowing red eyes, and fangs, and fan-shaped wings, and spikes, and crab claws, an a vile snake tongue. And it's running around loose in a dark room while you're strapped down in your seat by a harness. And it tears apart the repair guy on the overhead catwalk, dousing you in blood! And this was at the Magic Kingdom! The Happiest Place on Earth! Back then Disney had some serious balls, especially when you compare the lame-ass Stitch attraction they replaced it with!
or replace a lot of things with star wars -_- I mean as much as people love star wars, people should agree that the expanding part needs to stop or it'll never become disney land/world
My disney childhood trauma was the Queen in Snow White, I didn't like her in general but the scene where she turned herself into a old hag just made me too scared to watch. And the whole scene in Sleeping Beauty where Maleficent appears in Auroa's fireplace and leads her to the spindle; the creepy background music and Maleficent's first apperence leads me to covering my ears and hiding my face in a pillow.
Aragog (and his hundreds of childern and grandchildren) and the basilisk from Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets traumatized so much as a kid (nightmares night terrors that still has a big hold on me because of how much they creep me out, gross me out ,scare me , because of them my fear of both spiders and snakes are my second and third on my top three worst and biggest fears list (my number one is heights becuase i have some amount of vertigo not because of trauma), if i ever have to watch that movie ever again (because I am watching it with family or friends) , let's just say that I am gonna be covering my eyes and ears until they are gone or taking out my phone and ignoring the world until someone who is not a jerk/asshole tells me that I can start watxhing it again
My childhood trauma is an episode from Courage the Cowardly Dog called, "Perfect". Courage is insecure and doubtful about himself, so he makes up a teacher to teach him how to be "Perfect". The part that really gets me though is the part when Courage goes to sleep, and there's a morbid blue fetus comes out of NOWHERE and whispers, "You're not perfect" as disturbing piano music plays in the background. The thing is in really bad cgi and only appears for 10 seconds, but it's so startling that you will ask yourself "What the hell was that?!" I have had nightmares about this thing for so many years. Hell, I still have nightmares about it.
Dylan Gray Courage The Cowardly Dog was full of clutterfuckery that mind-raped us as children, but I still loved that show. If you remember the first episode itself, Courage and his family stay at a Motel operated by Katz; who feeds all his customers to mutated giant spiders.....Yuck. that episode scarred me...
It was my favorite movie when I was a little kid, Gave me nightmares about raptors though. lol I was introduced to scary movies at a very young age and I loved them. Me and my Grandmother would go watch scary movies in theaters all the time. She had to buy me an adult ticket to watch them. lol
Oh man the show Dinosaurs was what scared me as a kid cause of that one boss of Earl Sinclair. He was a Triceratops with yellow eyes and a big mouth always yelling. I once had a dream about him shouting
My childhood trauma was the music video for THRILLER! When Micheal is tuning into the werewolf, his really "authentic-like" moans and groans really resonated into my bones. Scared the shit out of me. Another one that's probably more powerful, now that my memory is back in the 80's, is GHOSTBUSTERS. the scene were all the ghosts have just been released and that freaky song is playing(never bothered to learn the title of it either)and Dana's apartment explodes. I'm 40 now and I still carefully gloss over that part. Thriller I can sort of handle now. Thanks for sharing Robyn.
NOOOOO ROBYN U REMINDED ME ABOUT THAT TERRIBLE CAR MOVIE AHHH LOL btw my childhood trauma was Chucky after confusing him with rugrats chucky I haven't watched Rugrats until this year lol
Love your channel. Here's a strange fear (one of many childhood traumas): I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Star Trek fan, but I'd always skip the closing credits of the original series as a kid. Toward the end, when the "Ooo-ooooh" music reached a crescendo, they flashed this really creepy grey alien guy with reptilian eyes and an iridescent sort-of tunic. Scared the hell out of me, and I'm pretty sure I've never seen the episode with that alien in it.
Now that you brought up these Disney Classics I'm suddenly reminded of a scene of Donald Duck dressed as the devil chasing Huey Dewey and Louie with a pitchfork. I don't even remember the context of the scene. Let's see, childhood trauma's... Artax drowning in the swamp in The NeverEnding Story was pretty traumatizing. My Mom tells me the Wheelers from Return to Oz scared me as a kid, but I don't remember being scared of them. I have to wonder why we're so afraid to scare the shit out of our kids these days.
my childhood trauma was school. i had trouble interacting with people. was so extremely awkward. school upset me so much it was all i could do some days to go to school. most days, for a few years, i didn't go.
Something I've realized upon watching lots of childhood trauma videos - it doesn't matter how brave or smart your kid is, or how much you try to protect them, SOMETHING will scare the crap out of them. It may be something actually scary, or it maybe a gross overreaction or even a misunderstanding. But something WILL scare them. It's a part of life, and not necessarily a bad part of it either. Nowadays I look back on things that scared me with a certain kind of respect.
Scar from the lion King, that lion alone scared the piss out of me when I was a kid. And before anyone comments "wimp", I would like to point out that I was and still am to this day autistic.
I was traumatized by a sheep going "baaa" in my face when I was two and had issues with animals for a long while. Still can't stand being close to sheep. Pictures, movies, and a long distance away from them I am good. Up close..um...nope!
"Look a bunny movie." My cousin said. Half an hour later, I was screaming, crying and he was trying to figure out how something like that was allowed to be animated.
@@DarkValkyrie512 "Look a bunny movie" my parents said. I was like, three. We only got two minutes in before my parents said "NOOOOPE" and I still remember it, and I had nightmares for years. Watership Down: Baby's First Trauma
the one that always got to me was the 90s CGI voltron show. there were two scenes in particular. one, pidge, the genius, and my favourite character, had to face their worst nightmare, which was the threat of being labotomized. the idea of having your mind and intelligence stolen still scares me a lot. the second part, the main villain says "hey, lets give up this war! i'll destroy my superweapons, if you guys destroy voltron!" and...they did. watching the lions being taken apart and destroyed traumatized the hell out of me
Robyn got off easy. My parents made me watch 'Silver Bullet' when I was like five or six. Their reasoning was that it was a good movie, which it is, but not when you're too young to know reality from Hollywood. The part where the Reverend is dreaming about giving a speech at his pulpit in front of four coffins is what "traumatized" me. The father of one of the victims stands up, half wolfed out, screaming, "REVEREND, HE WAS TORN APART!" ...and then the whole church starts transforming in a realistic fashion, into werewolves. Today, it's my favorite werewolf movie, and I love it!!
When Littlefoot's mother dies in the first Land Before Time. I couldn't watch that movie for years after that and I was a huge fan of the franchise as a kid. ...I'm not crying you're crying!
At lot of things from Disney scared me as a kid. Mufasa's roars from The Lion King, Triton turning black and destroying Ariel's Grotto, The Beast from Beauty and The Beast (dare I say more), Kerchak, Sabor, Lampwick turning into a Donkey from Pinocchio, I'm surprised I got interested in Disney after all of that.
After a little thought (and even less time Googling) I found one I remember from my REALLY early childhood: Pinnochio and the Emperor of Night. Good grief! If this didn't scar kids for life I don't know what would. This movie was released by Filmation back in the day (they also did Bravestarr - one of my childhood fav's btw!) but from what I could find it didn't do very well, hence it being a bit of a 'lesser-known' movie. To sum it up, I remember the scene of Pinnochio sacrificing himself to save Gepeto, by flinign himself into the bad guy - who dresses up like Satan! I must have had nightmares for years thanks to that one scene. Robyn if you ever manage to get hold of it I'd be interested to know what you or your friends think of it. Cheers!
The cotton candy scene from "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" - I caught it on some random channel when I was about 7 or 8 years old, and that scene scared the everloving crap out of me.
The Disney movie that scared me the most as a kid was Bambi. SO many terrifying scenes, like the dogs and the fire and that scene where Bambi and his mom arrive at the meadow and her silhouette suddenly appears in front of him to stop him from running out, it's hard to pick the worst. But, if I had to choose, I'd pick the scene where Bambi fights another deer to be with Faline. The fact that it comes out of nowhere, the creepy design of the rival, the music, the lack of dialogue and the fact that the whole fight is in pitch black darkness made this the ultimate nightmare fuel as a kid. The worst part is my parents put this movie on ALL THE TIME, so I ended up having to deal with all the horror over and over. Nowadays, the film doesn't scare me anymore, but the traumatic memories are all still there.
My childhood trauma was one time when my family was on a trip I got sick and was running a fever and feeling nauseous. My family stops in a hotel, and I'm sitting down feeling miserable in unfamiliar suroundings, but hey, at least there was a TV to watch. Unfortunately the show was Star Trek: the Next Generation, and the episode was that one with the alien bugs that could enter a person's body and take over. Even more specifically it was at around the moment when the infested higher ranking officers of Starfleet sit down to a "meal" of writhing maggots. Oooooh did I have nightmares from that.
My childhood trauma was this movie called "House on Haunted Hill." My family was waiting for the 4th of July fireworks show to start, and my brothers had rented that movie and started watching it in our van (old school, VHS movie). I remember one of the very first scenes is that these mental patients revolt and attack the staff of the mental institution for the criminally insane. The psychos killed a bunch of the staff members. Most vividly, I remember a close-up of a person's neck as a handful of sharpened pencils pierce through it. I was like 8-years-old when my brothers decided to rent that movie and I will never forget that shit. Forget Disney villain deaths, that was gruesome!
Re-watched Pluto's Judgement Day before I watched this, and dang it still disturbs me! O_O;; I have a few childhood traumas, but I am firmly repressing them. Rock-a-doodle, the donkey scene in Pinocchio, Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dome, FernGully: The Last Rainforest... OH GOD DANG IT!
at least it's their small charm to make the disney stuff better (Hell, I remember despite the messed up parts, pinnochio was my childhood disney film next to snow white)
One figure that creeped me out a lot was the Crypt-keeper from Tales from the Crypt. The adults watched it and apparently when I was too little to remember, I would laugh along when he pops out of the coffin in the intro because my brain just processed “Yay we’re laughing!” But I think once I hit four, I found him scary. He was literally in my nightmares.
I think the thing that got to me most as a kid was the Game Boy Camera error screens with the doodled all over faces and that dooming 8-bit music. On top that, the stupid thing trolled you with the run option. "Who are you running from?"
I was a fragile thing so I had quite a few childhood traumas. Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland, the donkey scene from Pinocchio, Princess and the Goblin just because of the goblins, and episode of the Little Mermaid cartoon involving a charm bracelet and creepy deep water creatures, the Secret of NIMH. The list goes on.
When I was young back in the '80s, my family rented a lot of R-Rated movies. I grew-up in a black neighborhood were it was customary to "toughen up" children with horror films. The heaviest ones I seen were David Cronenberg (The Fly, Dead Zone, etc.) and Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, et al.) films. My 6-year old self really enjoyed the hell out of Freddy Krueger. :D
Disneys's version of the headless horseman or Sleepy Hollow was what freaked me out as a kid. Had a hard time going to sleep. The Grinch Stole Christmas apparently freaked me out too.
My childhood trauma was when I watched The Mummy from 1999. I would always closes my eyes or look away whenever the monsters come on screen. Back in history class, I rewatched it again. I was once again scared, but then I started to overcome my fear as I keep watching the whole film.
For me, there was 2: The section of Disney's 'Christmas Carol' where Scrooge McDuck falls into his grave as hellfire spews out of his coffin (seems to be a common theme here...) and an old Humpty Dumpty cartoon where Humpty Dumpty was a bad guy and as he's climbing the wall terrifying music plays (I don't remember many details about that one since it terrified my 3 year old self so badly).
My childhood trauma was when my brother had some of his friends over and they were watching "Pink Floyd, The Wall" it's a live action movie, but had scenes that were animated. I happened to join them and watch the movie, those animation sequences gave me nightmares for a couple of days after watching it.
I came here to hear about child trauma, which is usually messed up but something I can deal usually...I mean my most childhood trauma came from Are You Afraid of the Dark, specifically "Tale of the Quicksilver", "Tale of Deadman's Float" and "Tale of the Bookish Babysitter"... Then I'm shown and told of images of cat torture and it's Felidae all over again....Excuse me while I go lay down and think of cute anime boys comforting me while trying not to blow chunks....
Funny enough, the newer Mickey Mouse episodes you showed was from Mickey Mouse Works where a very similar episode called "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" where Pluto has a nightmare where he gets sent to Hell. It was later banned, no surprise there.
Lol, haunted hayrides were have definitely been a thing in the north since I was a kid. You got your choice of 'kiddo' or 'horror'. In my town it was like a rite of passage to one day go on the 'horror' version.
My childhood trauma was when I was much younger, like around ten or so, I was trying to put on Wall-E for me and my brother to watch in my mom's bedroom and when I turned on the tv, the show Dexter came on and I was subjected to seeing this guy in the shower shaving his skin or something and bleeding everywhere. That shit scarred me for a while, especially because I was terrified of blood when I was little.
I remember that advertisement at the end of my copy of the Disney The Legend of Sleepy Hollow vhs tape, the part with the graveyard in the background and the narrator talking about other Disney vhs tapes. I had to stop the tape before it came on. I actually found a clip of it on RUclips and it still creeps me out lol
i'm just going to say this here i was never tramatized by a movie or episode of a show mostly because i dont remember the actual scary stuff about it and only seem to have been scared of stupid crap.
My childhood traumas usually came in the form of a video-game that dropped me in a boss instance with technically no exits other than magical portals. Like Zelda. I'd just froth over how if I were actually in, like, Kholdstare's chamber in A Link to the Past, there is technically no physical way out.
Fantasia, great movie, and really good music married to the animation. I saw it with my folks when I was 4 years old, the night on bald mountain scared me so bad that I was crying so hard we had to leave the theater. It was many years later when I finally saw it all the way thru. It still gives me the creeps!
11:06 actually the film that music and the graveyard are from is called Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The music from a small portion of the courtroom scene of The Winds and the Willows (Mr. Toad) and it's really not scary at all. As for the graveyard picture, it's from the beginning of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod) which is a bit more chilling, but not really that bad. Also, I saw Pluto's Judgement Day on Walt Disney Treasures (a DVD collection of old Disney cartoons, movies, etc.) when I was like a toddler, and it didn't scare me or scar me for life at all. I even saw a Van Helsing movie when I woke up one night as a toddler and again it didn't scare me at all. Granted, I cried all night when the gypsy lady died, but that's more sad than scary. So, that doesn't count.
My childhood trauma was when Lou Ferigno growls in every episode of The Incredible Hulk. I used to be too afraid to come back into the living room whenever he appeared.
When I was about 3 or 4, my mom was watching a horror movie. I don't remember the name or anything else about it, but one scene that scared me for life was a woman was standing in front of her sink about to put dishes in it when a bloody, hairy, and disfigured hand came up out of the garbage disposal and then went back down. I'm 26 and I still have a slight fear of any drain.
Well, to be fair, when this particular cartoon was made, Disney hadn't exactly had it's "Brand" yet and Cartoons were actually for Adults, not kids. I think Nastalgia Critic did a video about this.
When my family first moved to the US from Japan one of the first TV shows I saw was Sesame Street. There was an animated character on there called Martian Beauty, and she terrified me. She was the literal stuff of my nightmares and the reason I needed a night light for years.
My first cartoon trauma was the Disney's Christmas Carol. Seeing Pete as the Devil throwing Scrooge McDuck into his grave as the casket opened up to reveal the fires of Hell, I had to go to church the next day.
My childhood trauma was from when i snuck into the living room while my dad was watching Akira. I was there long enough to catch the Hospital Hallucination scene. Yep had nightmares about that on-and-off for a few years.
my childhood TV trauma was when i got a glimpse of the animated rendition of Spawn at age 7. the violator would make me wake up in the middle of the night for the next 8 months
My biggest childhood trauma was Tanner the Lion and Leo The Lion in The MGM logo. Seeing Tanner and Leo scared the crap out of me as I was watching Tom and Jerry and Poltergeist and one of the movies especially in The Terminator and all of a sudden RRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I ran straight to my mom's room and hide in her bed but I ain't scared of it anymore it's just a harmless lion roaring in a circle on the screen.
I remember a Tom & Jerry cartoon very similar to this, but it turned out Tom was having a nightmare. One thing that tramautized me as a kid was accidentally seeing a clip from a Chucky movie. I couldn't sleep that night.
The thing that freaking me out was the freaking big whale in Pinocchio. Also, when I was like 10 there was this scene in Redwall season 2 where the fox, who is the vilain, take of his mask and half of his face his disfigured because of his meeting with the snake in the first season. THAT scene crept me out so much that each time the episode was on tv I would hide behind a pillow when that scene came to the screen.
My childhood scare was The little mermaid Disney on ice, when Ursula came out they had this big monster like thing for her. I literally screamed ,got up out of my seat and ran!!
I think the thing about childhood trauma is sometimes when you see something freaky you don't actually get it. like you might not understand why it's creepy and then you grow up... and realize it's freaky!
Mine was Dr.Seuss's Grinch that stole Christmas or Cat in the Hat. Those two creeped me out. Like Grinch's expression or The Cat coming into the house. Omg it sacred me. I think it was the art style that got me.
I remember one that still got to me years later when I finally saw the movie again; the reveal of Mr. Hyde (and his part in general) in The Pagemaster. Jeez. ...Yeah...
Disney villains have disturbing deaths. Ursula got stabbed in the stomach. Clayton from Tarzan hung himself. Dr facilier was dragged into the underworld. I can name off a lot but you get the point
um mother gothal dissolved into dust
Wicked Queen in Snow White had a cliff break under her thanks to a bolt of lightning and the boulder she was trying to crush the dwarfs with ended up crushing her
Gaston in beauty and the beast fell off a cliff and if you pause at the right moment you can see a skull in his eye when he lost his balance.
Syndrome from Incredibles died horribly as well proving why Edna didn't add any capes in her superhero designs.
Uh Judge Frollo just plummet into a vat of Molten Copper.
The scene where the boy transformed into a donkey while crying for his mom in Pinocchio scared the hell out of me as a kid. I still get chills whenever I see it now as an adult.
yokosbride The frickin' whale always scared the crap outta me! 😵
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought that
Pinocchio is my favorite Disney story. It teaches you how not to be a puppet and how not to become a jackass xD
that was funny AF lol
yokosbride I watched that one when I was little in the dark, it was a great way to fall asleep.
I cried myself to sleep.
I know this Disney classic from my childhood. Believe it or not, I was not scared of this cartoon. I was satisfied at the end with Pluto learn a hard (and terrifying) lesson in empathy. Yes, dogs chasing cats is a classic cliche' , but if you pay attention to the tone of the music and the expressions on the kitten's and Pluto's faces, you can see that this chase scene isn't suppose to be funny. That kitten was scared for his life while Pluto chases it relentlessly like a berserk mad dog. In other cartoons like those from Warner Bros. involving Sylvester and that Bulldog for example, it's funny right there because we know one of them will give the other their just desserts. With Pluto in this cartoon, he done something genuinely bad and Mickey called him out angrily for it. As scary this Disney cartoon was, it still tells a cautionary story about when you do bad thing to others, you deserve what's coming to you.
People tend to over protect their children. They try to hide the darkness, but when they grow up, the young adults are not ready for the world.
Exactly!
kind of like most other age gates. like, how are they to learn to handle alcohol responsibly. best method we have come up with in the US is to let them legally drink just after they have moved out of the house. Where they are surrounded by peers that just passed that age gate.
all most age gates are is a attempt to protect someone from there own stupidity. When it would be much better to teach them not to be idiots. Instead of expecting them to learn on there own, later.
My childhood trauma has to be when I watched Indiana Jones where Indie was witnessing that witch doctor who can take out your heart and toss it into the fire.
For the longest time I would fall asleep laying on my side and my arm over my chest so the asshole didn't appear and take my own heart.
Oh jeez it was horrible.
Did that for three years.
Kali Ma! KALI MA!
the heart scene got to me. the forcing that mixture down their throat had a worse effect on me though. i found both scary.
omg me too I hated that seen I would close my eyes and bury my head in my dads chest and cry
mine was the last crusade, when what's his face chose the wrong grail
The ants
Dumbo was my childhood trauma. Just...everything about it. The mother being whipped in the circus, Dumbo crying, and the trippy ass drunk dream Dumbo had with the pink elephants. Also, I love your Armin plush!
Me: I need to click the video
Minutes after: Where is the fucking video
This was nothing!, There is an episode of Tom and Jerry that got banned called "Heavenly Puss" where Tom dies and he gets sent to hell, only to find out that it was a dream, talk about nightmares *SHUDDERS*
I remembered that, Poor Tom, and also the poor cats that passed away including kittens!
they some times play that episode on bomering.
Why did you have to mention the Kittens?! My heart breaks thinking about them.
I remember seeing that one on TV. I didn't think it was that bad.
That scene with the kittens was messed up. Can't believe it was supposed to be a joke.
yup, in those days, before T.V., cartoons were shown on the big screen before the feature film started, and covered everything from, the work ethic, to hell, to selling bonds for the war effort. Not necessarily aimed at children. I would admit much of anime is DEFINITELY not aimed at children either. #UnabashedOTAKU
personally kids these days need to grow a pair..almost every cartoon or show has very little conflict, not saying scar them for life (lol) ..i loved creepy cartoons/movies even the ones that really scared me
Decbabe85 I hope your joking. Cartoon today get away get with a a lot of dark shit. Have you seen Gravity falls? Or the newer seasons of adventure time? And so much more.
Does anyone else remember that disturbing show Mr. Meaty?
It really gave me another reason I was scared of felt puppets and mascots
Mad-Hatter-ison Join the club
Oh God... the tapeworm episode...
That never aired for me growing up so...
Bethany.A. Kat the tape worm episode is what made me fear /touching any/ raw meat, ever. 😱
One I could think of is the opening scene to The Great Mouse Detective when you see the bat's face up close........ scared the crap out of me when I was little
#jumpscare4lyfe
5:50 tom stop messing with pluto and go back to jerry
*high fives* good one!
Lol. When I saw the grave, I was like, "WHAT?"
My childhood trauma was the Spongebob episode Gift of Gum... Reason? I have sensory issues and the thought of being trapped chewed gum not only grossed me out but frightened me.
My childhood trauma was actually all from Disney. The whole scene in Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent lead Aurora to the spindle and trapped her. The whole oyster scene in Alice in Wonderland. Finally, the first five minutes of Finding Nemo with all those fish being eaten. I remember insisting on watching it because I liked the rest of the movie but for the first five minutes I would hide behind the couch.
You would think Mickey would encourage Pluto to go after cats, considering Mickey is a mouse.
algol291 Yeah, but what cat would be able to consume a mouse that size? Except maybe Pete. Come to think of it, in the short "Mr. Mouse Takes a Trip", Pete says he used to own a cat. Isn't that technically slavery? And now I've ruined a beloved Disney character. You're welcome.
my childhood trauma can be described by a simple movie title: JAWS. I would try falling asleep at night and just picture the shark biting my legs off, to the point where I would wake up with a scream
if you don't want jaws to get you then GET IN THE EVA SHINJI
Akita Uma Sure, I just grew a pair anyways :)
Akita Uma I'm so confident right now I could even fight Godzilla.
Akita Uma oh, and... VERY ORIGINAL.
My childhood trauma is when my cheek was torn open when I was 2 and they had to put 9 stitches in there. I was scared of dogs for until I was 12 to the point where I couldn't even see a puppy without feeling frightened.
Luckily I am over that now and now I have and absolutely love 3 dogs.
Disney Cartoon Classics. A Family Picture (In a Southern accent)
Mine is coralline those fucking button eyes and the ghost of Christmas yet to come in the muppets Christmas carol and the Disney version it's so fucking scary
Same still can't have a doll with buttoned eyes
I cried during that movie don't remind me pls
I watched Coralline when I was nine. I haven't watched it since (and don't plan to ever again).
The funny thing about the Halloween promo that involved a graveyard in the background is that both the music and the image were from "The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad". The music playing is a brief loop during the court scene from 'Mr. Toad', when Rat and Mole are approaching the stand, while the graveyard is seen in the beginning of 'Ichabod' during Bing Crosby's narration describing the history of Sleepy Hollow (which is ironic since they even had this promo shown at the end of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow VHS, no joke).
1:02 Thanks Robyn I just remember seeing appliances being crushed as kid and being called worthless
I hope you're happy
Mine is TWO childhood traumas. One is begin Spiderman, at the end of Muppet Babies. It was around the 1980s, and I loved the Muppet Babies. That is, until the end of the credits, I was greeted with a creepy spider man on the M, staring at me with his glowing evil eyes. This was Spiderman, and when he got on the Marvel Productions logo, he stares at me, looking at me, saying "I'm gonna get you." I screamed, seeing that Spiderman face, and I was like 5 or 6. I screamed, and hid in bed, and was traumatized by that evil nightmare fuel induced logo. This was a time before "Nightmare Fuel" became a key role in scary logos. Looking back, I was still traumatized, seeing Spiderman's metallic blue face at the end of Muppet Babies and or shows from Marvel Productions. But looking back, I shouted to myself, "Why does Peter Parker have to traumatize me like that?" I still am traumatized of it, to this day. And I still have nightmares of Spiderman, including that haunting horn outro at the end of Muppet Babies.
Another I'm traumatized of in my childhood is snowmen, and how they melt into piles of slush. Yes, I know they are just snow and ice, but when they melt, that's worse off... When I was like 3 or 4, I watched a cartoon called "The Snowman", which is based off of a children's book. Anyway, in my childhood days, I fantasize about snowmen all around me, in weird coal mouths and eyes, staring at me, wanting to hug me, and even look like melted distorted faces. I'm not going to explain why I am afraid of snowmen, and I still am to MOST snowmen, but that day, when I saw the snowman melted in the cartoon, my life changed... for the worst. There's a reason why I hated snowmen in Christmas, but I did enjoy Bad Mr. Frosty of Clayfighter 63 1/3; not his first look in the original.
You know, the way I explained my childhood traumas... I feel like going to a shrink.
Rock-a-doodle. And the first all dogs go to heaven, but mostly rock-a-doodle.
Bluth's philosophy of testing what traumatic imagery kids can put up with before tacking on a positive ending, was never more relevant to me than it was in rock-a-doodle.
DemiTrusdale3 Really? Rock A Doodle scared you? Not Secret of NIMH, American Tail or Lands Before Time? You know, the Don Bluth movies that are ACTUALLY scary?
All Dogs Go To Heaven, Charlie goes to Hell.
I used to work at the IMAX Theatres and we played BEOWOLF, and adults brought their kids.....I'd look and say this is rated r u know. They go in......5 to 10 minutes later they come out and go, can I get a refund? I go Awwww, WHY?! (sarcasm)
The same parents that brought their kids to go see South Park the Movie Bigger Longer and Uncut. People are DUMB!!
My cousin took me and my sister to see South Park bigger longer and uncut when it 1st came out and I was 10. Wasn't bothered by it a single bit
The place i went to see it (a military base), had half of the theater empty out with enrage parents that even wrote to the local paper about it. Kids would love the movie but I believe some parents never even heard of South Park and brought their kids because they wanted to see it not knowing what that show is about.
Dare I bring up how many people were dumb enough to take their little kids to see the R-RATED DEADPOOL MOVIE?! Some of the "not safe for kids" violence was even in the trailers, how could they possibly not have known about it?! >.
Shall we all forget "Sausage Party?"
My childhood Trauma was when I watched the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy gets locked in the Witch's castle & Auntie Em's face turns into the Wicked Witch. That scared me.
Childhood trauma: crazy Cruella De Ville enough said.
I can think of three moments: The wolf Gmork from The Neverending Story, who looked like he just missed out on the title role in An American Werewolf in London,
The Nightmare King from Little Nemo,
And finally, the Disney World attraction ExtraTERRORestrial: Alien Encounter, which originally tried to get the rights to use the Xenomorph from Aliens before they decided to make their own nightmarish monstrosity to lock you in a dark room with. With glowing red eyes, and fangs, and fan-shaped wings, and spikes, and crab claws, an a vile snake tongue. And it's running around loose in a dark room while you're strapped down in your seat by a harness. And it tears apart the repair guy on the overhead catwalk, dousing you in blood! And this was at the Magic Kingdom! The Happiest Place on Earth! Back then Disney had some serious balls, especially when you compare the lame-ass Stitch attraction they replaced it with!
or replace a lot of things with star wars -_- I mean as much as people love star wars, people should agree that the expanding part needs to stop or it'll never become disney land/world
My disney childhood trauma was the Queen in Snow White, I didn't like her in general but the scene where she turned herself into a old hag just made me too scared to watch. And the whole scene in Sleeping Beauty where Maleficent appears in Auroa's fireplace and leads her to the spindle; the creepy background music and Maleficent's first apperence leads me to covering my ears and hiding my face in a pillow.
Aragog (and his hundreds of childern and grandchildren) and the basilisk from Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets traumatized so much as a kid (nightmares night terrors that still has a big hold on me because of how much they creep me out, gross me out ,scare me , because of them my fear of both spiders and snakes are my second and third on my top three worst and biggest fears list (my number one is heights becuase i have some amount of vertigo not because of trauma), if i ever have to watch that movie ever again (because I am watching it with family or friends) , let's just say that I am gonna be covering my eyes and ears until they are gone or taking out my phone and ignoring the world until someone who is not a jerk/asshole tells me that I can start watxhing it again
My childhood trauma is an episode from Courage the Cowardly Dog called, "Perfect". Courage is insecure and doubtful about himself, so he makes up a teacher to teach him how to be "Perfect". The part that really gets me though is the part when Courage goes to sleep, and there's a morbid blue fetus comes out of NOWHERE and whispers, "You're not perfect" as disturbing piano music plays in the background. The thing is in really bad cgi and only appears for 10 seconds, but it's so startling that you will ask yourself "What the hell was that?!" I have had nightmares about this thing for so many years. Hell, I still have nightmares about it.
Dylan Gray Courage The Cowardly Dog was full of clutterfuckery that mind-raped us as children, but I still loved that show.
If you remember the first episode itself, Courage and his family stay at a Motel operated by Katz; who feeds all his customers to mutated giant spiders.....Yuck. that episode scarred me...
Or that episode one of the Simpsons with that ghost thing that says "Don't be afraid" in a pich Voice
Crush crush candy (Face Melts) Now how about a hug?
That Helga possessed Violin Girl we saw that screamed at us...
fuck that show it's always creeps me out
I watched Jurassic Park at a WAY too young age, so I now have a strange love/hate relationship with dinosaurs!
It was my favorite movie when I was a little kid, Gave me nightmares about raptors though. lol I was introduced to scary movies at a very young age and I loved them. Me and my Grandmother would go watch scary movies in theaters all the time. She had to buy me an adult ticket to watch them. lol
Katie Leffler yep I had a night terrors over it can watch it now but it just scared me at the time
You're talking about the 3rd JP right? It's been awhile since I've watched it.
Oh man the show Dinosaurs was what scared me as a kid cause of that one boss of Earl Sinclair. He was a Triceratops with yellow eyes and a big mouth always yelling. I once had a dream about him shouting
Katie Leffler Same!
My childhood trauma was the music video for THRILLER! When Micheal is tuning into the werewolf, his really "authentic-like" moans and groans really resonated into my bones. Scared the shit out of me.
Another one that's probably more powerful, now that my memory is back in the 80's, is GHOSTBUSTERS. the scene were all the ghosts have just been released and that freaky song is playing(never bothered to learn the title of it either)and Dana's apartment explodes. I'm 40 now and I still carefully gloss over that part. Thriller I can sort of handle now.
Thanks for sharing Robyn.
NOOOOO ROBYN U REMINDED ME ABOUT THAT TERRIBLE CAR MOVIE AHHH LOL btw my childhood trauma was Chucky after confusing him with rugrats chucky I haven't watched Rugrats until this year lol
"I'm not tommy! Wahahahahahahaahahaha!"
Love your channel. Here's a strange fear (one of many childhood traumas):
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Star Trek fan, but I'd always skip the closing credits of the original series as a kid. Toward the end, when the "Ooo-ooooh" music reached a crescendo, they flashed this really creepy grey alien guy with reptilian eyes and an iridescent sort-of tunic. Scared the hell out of me, and I'm pretty sure I've never seen the episode with that alien in it.
Now that you brought up these Disney Classics I'm suddenly reminded of a scene of Donald Duck dressed as the devil chasing Huey Dewey and Louie with a pitchfork. I don't even remember the context of the scene.
Let's see, childhood trauma's...
Artax drowning in the swamp in The NeverEnding Story was pretty traumatizing.
My Mom tells me the Wheelers from Return to Oz scared me as a kid, but I don't remember being scared of them.
I have to wonder why we're so afraid to scare the shit out of our kids these days.
my childhood trauma was school. i had trouble interacting with people. was so extremely awkward. school upset me so much it was all i could do some days to go to school. most days, for a few years, i didn't go.
Isn't that everybody's problem
wtf disney. What would be worst if pluto gotten a trial for burrying bones and the spooky scary skeletons gave him the trial
Something I've realized upon watching lots of childhood trauma videos - it doesn't matter how brave or smart your kid is, or how much you try to protect them, SOMETHING will scare the crap out of them. It may be something actually scary, or it maybe a gross overreaction or even a misunderstanding. But something WILL scare them. It's a part of life, and not necessarily a bad part of it either. Nowadays I look back on things that scared me with a certain kind of respect.
Scar from the lion King, that lion alone scared the piss out of me when I was a kid. And before anyone comments "wimp", I would like to point out that I was and still am to this day autistic.
when I first watched it, my dad tried to scare me but I had a seizure, I am to this day epileptic. I'm not autistic but I know what your talking about
Gio A So what was Zira to you?
I was traumatized by a sheep going "baaa" in my face when I was two and had issues with animals for a long while. Still can't stand being close to sheep. Pictures, movies, and a long distance away from them I am good. Up close..um...nope!
pluto absolutely nothing but a discount scar. Just seeing him creeps me out
Gio A It was fucked up how she killed Kopa tho
My childhood trauma was the brave little toster
It’s dark when Pluto is getting chained up it gives me the chills
watership down
sanguinius01 I agree with that choice, some of the imagery was downright frightening...
"Look a bunny movie." My cousin said. Half an hour later, I was screaming, crying and he was trying to figure out how something like that was allowed to be animated.
@@DarkValkyrie512 "Look a bunny movie" my parents said.
I was like, three.
We only got two minutes in before my parents said "NOOOOPE" and I still remember it, and I had nightmares for years.
Watership Down: Baby's First Trauma
the one that always got to me was the 90s CGI voltron show. there were two scenes in particular. one, pidge, the genius, and my favourite character, had to face their worst nightmare, which was the threat of being labotomized. the idea of having your mind and intelligence stolen still scares me a lot. the second part, the main villain says "hey, lets give up this war! i'll destroy my superweapons, if you guys destroy voltron!" and...they did. watching the lions being taken apart and destroyed traumatized the hell out of me
E.T. used to scare the crap out of me when I was little...
Robyn got off easy. My parents made me watch 'Silver Bullet' when I was like five or six. Their reasoning was that it was a good movie, which it is, but not when you're too young to know reality from Hollywood.
The part where the Reverend is dreaming about giving a speech at his pulpit in front of four coffins is what "traumatized" me. The father of one of the victims stands up, half wolfed out, screaming, "REVEREND, HE WAS TORN APART!" ...and then the whole church starts transforming in a realistic fashion, into werewolves.
Today, it's my favorite werewolf movie, and I love it!!
When Littlefoot's mother dies in the first Land Before Time.
I couldn't watch that movie for years after that and I was a huge fan of the franchise as a kid.
...I'm not crying you're crying!
AxeCrazyAutobot I'm 21 and I still cry...
At lot of things from Disney scared me as a kid. Mufasa's roars from The Lion King, Triton turning black and destroying Ariel's Grotto, The Beast from Beauty and The Beast (dare I say more), Kerchak, Sabor, Lampwick turning into a Donkey from Pinocchio, I'm surprised I got interested in Disney after all of that.
After a little thought (and even less time Googling) I found one I remember from my REALLY early childhood: Pinnochio and the Emperor of Night. Good grief! If this didn't scar kids for life I don't know what would. This movie was released by Filmation back in the day (they also did Bravestarr - one of my childhood fav's btw!) but from what I could find it didn't do very well, hence it being a bit of a 'lesser-known' movie. To sum it up, I remember the scene of Pinnochio sacrificing himself to save Gepeto, by flinign himself into the bad guy - who dresses up like Satan! I must have had nightmares for years thanks to that one scene.
Robyn if you ever manage to get hold of it I'd be interested to know what you or your friends think of it.
Cheers!
The cotton candy scene from "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" - I caught it on some random channel when I was about 7 or 8 years old, and that scene scared the everloving crap out of me.
The Disney movie that scared me the most as a kid was Bambi. SO many terrifying scenes, like the dogs and the fire and that scene where Bambi and his mom arrive at the meadow and her silhouette suddenly appears in front of him to stop him from running out, it's hard to pick the worst. But, if I had to choose, I'd pick the scene where Bambi fights another deer to be with Faline. The fact that it comes out of nowhere, the creepy design of the rival, the music, the lack of dialogue and the fact that the whole fight is in pitch black darkness made this the ultimate nightmare fuel as a kid. The worst part is my parents put this movie on ALL THE TIME, so I ended up having to deal with all the horror over and over. Nowadays, the film doesn't scare me anymore, but the traumatic memories are all still there.
My childhood trauma was one time when my family was on a trip I got sick and was running a fever and feeling nauseous. My family stops in a hotel, and I'm sitting down feeling miserable in unfamiliar suroundings, but hey, at least there was a TV to watch.
Unfortunately the show was Star Trek: the Next Generation, and the episode was that one with the alien bugs that could enter a person's body and take over. Even more specifically it was at around the moment when the infested higher ranking officers of Starfleet sit down to a "meal" of writhing maggots. Oooooh did I have nightmares from that.
My childhood trauma was this movie called "House on Haunted Hill." My family was waiting for the 4th of July fireworks show to start, and my brothers had rented that movie and started watching it in our van (old school, VHS movie). I remember one of the very first scenes is that these mental patients revolt and attack the staff of the mental institution for the criminally insane. The psychos killed a bunch of the staff members. Most vividly, I remember a close-up of a person's neck as a handful of sharpened pencils pierce through it. I was like 8-years-old when my brothers decided to rent that movie and I will never forget that shit. Forget Disney villain deaths, that was gruesome!
Re-watched Pluto's Judgement Day before I watched this, and dang it still disturbs me! O_O;; I have a few childhood traumas, but I am firmly repressing them. Rock-a-doodle, the donkey scene in Pinocchio, Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dome, FernGully: The Last
Rainforest... OH GOD DANG IT!
This is why there is a term "thats Disney evil."
at least it's their small charm to make the disney stuff better (Hell, I remember despite the messed up parts, pinnochio was my childhood disney film next to snow white)
One figure that creeped me out a lot was the Crypt-keeper from Tales from the Crypt. The adults watched it and apparently when I was too little to remember, I would laugh along when he pops out of the coffin in the intro because my brain just processed “Yay we’re laughing!” But I think once I hit four, I found him scary. He was literally in my nightmares.
Judge Doom from Rodger Rabbit scared me for life as a kid
I think the thing that got to me most as a kid was the Game Boy Camera error screens with the doodled all over faces and that dooming 8-bit music. On top that, the stupid thing trolled you with the run option. "Who are you running from?"
My earliest trauma was the giant mosquitos in the Bearenstien Bears Picnic.
I was a fragile thing so I had quite a few childhood traumas. Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland, the donkey scene from Pinocchio, Princess and the Goblin just because of the goblins, and episode of the Little Mermaid cartoon involving a charm bracelet and creepy deep water creatures, the Secret of NIMH. The list goes on.
When I was young back in the '80s, my family rented a lot of R-Rated movies. I grew-up in a black neighborhood were it was customary to "toughen up" children with horror films. The heaviest ones I seen were David Cronenberg (The Fly, Dead Zone, etc.) and Wes Craven (Nightmare on Elm Street, et al.) films. My 6-year old self really enjoyed the hell out of Freddy Krueger. :D
Disneys's version of the headless horseman or Sleepy Hollow was what freaked me out as a kid. Had a hard time going to sleep. The Grinch Stole Christmas apparently freaked me out too.
My childhood trauma was when I watched The Mummy from 1999. I would always closes my eyes or look away whenever the monsters come on screen. Back in history class, I rewatched it again. I was once again scared, but then I started to overcome my fear as I keep watching the whole film.
my Childhood Trauma is when Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit puts a Cartoon Shoe in the Dip when i first saw this on Videocassette!
For me, there was 2: The section of Disney's 'Christmas Carol' where Scrooge McDuck falls into his grave as hellfire spews out of his coffin (seems to be a common theme here...) and an old Humpty Dumpty cartoon where Humpty Dumpty was a bad guy and as he's climbing the wall terrifying music plays (I don't remember many details about that one since it terrified my 3 year old self so badly).
My childhood trauma was when my brother had some of his friends over and they were watching "Pink Floyd, The Wall" it's a live action movie, but had scenes that were animated. I happened to join them and watch the movie, those animation sequences gave me nightmares for a couple of days after watching it.
I came here to hear about child trauma, which is usually messed up but something I can deal usually...I mean my most childhood trauma came from Are You Afraid of the Dark, specifically "Tale of the Quicksilver", "Tale of Deadman's Float" and "Tale of the Bookish Babysitter"... Then I'm shown and told of images of cat torture and it's Felidae all over again....Excuse me while I go lay down and think of cute anime boys comforting me while trying not to blow chunks....
Same just diffrent trauma
This is an episode I had taped as a kid and it still sticks with me - great halloween episode!
Tiny toon adventures where the monster comes out of the toons dreams is one of the scariest childhood trauma's I had.
Funny enough, the newer Mickey Mouse episodes you showed was from Mickey Mouse Works where a very similar episode called "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" where Pluto has a nightmare where he gets sent to Hell. It was later banned, no surprise there.
Lol, haunted hayrides were have definitely been a thing in the north since I was a kid. You got your choice of 'kiddo' or 'horror'. In my town it was like a rite of passage to one day go on the 'horror' version.
My childhood trauma was when I was much younger, like around ten or so, I was trying to put on Wall-E for me and my brother to watch in my mom's bedroom and when I turned on the tv, the show Dexter came on and I was subjected to seeing this guy in the shower shaving his skin or something and bleeding everywhere. That shit scarred me for a while, especially because I was terrified of blood when I was little.
I remember that advertisement at the end of my copy of the Disney The Legend of Sleepy Hollow vhs tape, the part with the graveyard in the background and the narrator talking about other Disney vhs tapes. I had to stop the tape before it came on. I actually found a clip of it on RUclips and it still creeps me out lol
i'm just going to say this here
i was never tramatized by a movie or episode of a show
mostly because i dont remember the actual scary stuff about it and only seem to have been scared of stupid crap.
Wow! I still have CDs of those same Disney Halloween special.
My childhood traumas usually came in the form of a video-game that dropped me in a boss instance with technically no exits other than magical portals. Like Zelda. I'd just froth over how if I were actually in, like, Kholdstare's chamber in A Link to the Past, there is technically no physical way out.
Fantasia, great movie, and really good music married to the animation. I saw it with my folks when I was 4 years old, the night on bald mountain scared me so bad that I was crying so hard we had to leave the theater. It was many years later when I finally saw it all the way thru. It still gives me the creeps!
11:06 actually the film that music and the graveyard are from is called Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The music from a small portion of the courtroom scene of The Winds and the Willows (Mr. Toad) and it's really not scary at all. As for the graveyard picture, it's from the beginning of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod) which is a bit more chilling, but not really that bad. Also, I saw Pluto's Judgement Day on Walt Disney Treasures (a DVD collection of old Disney cartoons, movies, etc.) when I was like a toddler, and it didn't scare me or scar me for life at all. I even saw a Van Helsing movie when I woke up one night as a toddler and again it didn't scare me at all. Granted, I cried all night when the gypsy lady died, but that's more sad than scary. So, that doesn't count.
I remember this! I haven't watched this in years and I kept looking for it! Now I know the name! Thank's Anime America!
My childhood trauma was when Lou Ferigno growls in every episode of The Incredible Hulk. I used to be too afraid to come back into the living room whenever he appeared.
When I was about 3 or 4, my mom was watching a horror movie. I don't remember the name or anything else about it, but one scene that scared me for life was a woman was standing in front of her sink about to put dishes in it when a bloody, hairy, and disfigured hand came up out of the garbage disposal and then went back down. I'm 26 and I still have a slight fear of any drain.
Well, to be fair, when this particular cartoon was made, Disney hadn't exactly had it's "Brand" yet and Cartoons were actually for Adults, not kids. I think Nastalgia Critic did a video about this.
When my family first moved to the US from Japan one of the first TV shows I saw was Sesame Street. There was an animated character on there called Martian Beauty, and she terrified me. She was the literal stuff of my nightmares and the reason I needed a night light for years.
My first cartoon trauma was the Disney's Christmas Carol. Seeing Pete as the Devil throwing Scrooge McDuck into his grave as the casket opened up to reveal the fires of Hell, I had to go to church the next day.
My childhood trauma was from when i snuck into the living room while my dad was watching Akira. I was there long enough to catch the Hospital Hallucination scene. Yep had nightmares about that on-and-off for a few years.
my childhood TV trauma was when i got a glimpse of the animated rendition of Spawn at age 7. the violator would make me wake up in the middle of the night for the next 8 months
Old Yella. "No Ma..." nuph said
My biggest childhood trauma was Tanner the Lion and Leo The Lion in The MGM logo. Seeing Tanner and Leo scared the crap out of me as I was watching Tom and Jerry and Poltergeist and one of the movies especially in The Terminator and all of a sudden RRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I ran straight to my mom's room and hide in her bed but I ain't scared of it anymore it's just a harmless lion roaring in a circle on the screen.
I remember a Tom & Jerry cartoon very similar to this, but it turned out Tom was having a nightmare. One thing that tramautized me as a kid was accidentally seeing a clip from a Chucky movie. I couldn't sleep that night.
"Heavenly Puss" was similar to "Pluto's Judgement Day".
The thing that freaking me out was the freaking big whale in Pinocchio. Also, when I was like 10 there was this scene in Redwall season 2 where the fox, who is the vilain, take of his mask and half of his face his disfigured because of his meeting with the snake in the first season. THAT scene crept me out so much that each time the episode was on tv I would hide behind a pillow when that scene came to the screen.
Jeebus, this makes my heart pound and my arms all jittery and i want to cry
My childhood scare was The little mermaid Disney on ice, when Ursula came out they had this big monster like thing for her. I literally screamed ,got up out of my seat and ran!!
Thanks for reminding me of that.*says with a sheepish grin and a sweatdrop*
I think the thing about childhood trauma is sometimes when you see something freaky you don't actually get it. like you might not understand why it's creepy and then you grow up... and realize it's freaky!
I remember watching this short. I didn't think much of it but watching it again, it is creepy
I was similar when it came to scary moments in family films. I never noticed how messed up they were until I was an adult.
My childhood trauma was being a military dependent. That caused a lovely lifelong case of PTSD.
Mine was Dr.Seuss's Grinch that stole Christmas or Cat in the Hat. Those two creeped me out. Like Grinch's expression or The Cat coming into the house. Omg it sacred me. I think it was the art style that got me.
I remember one that still got to me years later when I finally saw the movie again; the reveal of Mr. Hyde (and his part in general) in The Pagemaster. Jeez.
...Yeah...
