While it can be fun to watch a horror movie every now and then, sometimes, a really scary film will stick with you forever. So when a Reddit user asked: "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: "I never watched the full video in The 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." Watch the trailer here: "Event Horizon. The scene where Sam Neil's character has his eyes gouged out just messed me up." Watch the trailer here: "It with Tim Curry." Watch the trailer here: "The Exorcist." Watch the trailer here: "For me, this would be all The Grudge movies: 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's Grudge movies, 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..." Watch the trailer here: "The Descent. Fuck caves, and I can't stand scenes with thumbs through eyeballs." Watch the trailer here: "The Shining. Those twins and the tub lady." Watch the trailer here: "The Blair Witch Project. Marketing was so good for that film, I legit thought it was real. So here's 14/15-year-old me thinking I just watched a legit snuff film (opening weekend at that) and it jacked me up for a while. To this day, I get bad vibes from the movie." Watch the trailer here: "In Jaws, that scene when they look under the boat and they find... You know what I mean." Watch the trailer here: "The Dark Crystal." Watch the trailer here: "The first A Nightmare on Elm Street. I still can't watch it to this day." Watch the trailer here: "King Kong (2005). Watching those guys get destroyed by giant spiders, centipedes, and whatever the hell else that was attacking and eating them in that crevice." Watch the trailer here: "The Thing with Kurt Russell. Saw that when I was about 10, and it's always been my top horror movie." Watch the trailer here: "The Exorcism of Emily Rose? I think that's what it was called. I woke up every night at 3 a.m. and freaked the fuck out." Watch the trailer here: "Candyman." Watch the trailer here: "Thirteen Ghosts. The damn jackal just frightened the hell out of me as a kid." Watch the trailer here: "Poltergeist. I was way too young to watch that movie." Watch the trailer here: Is there a scary movie that you watched as a kid that still haunts you?

Tim recalled the opening night during his Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Picture Show as 'very exciting' but found its critics to be far too harsh. 'I had to go on the Today Show the next day and they read the reviews - which were appalling,' he explained. 'That brought me down. It was very cruel.' The reviews described his performance as 'a mixture of Joan Crawford and Burt Lancaster' and 'Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Marc Bolan all in one.' He went on join the cast of 1990's Home Alone 2 playing the stuffy and suspicious Mr Hector. Although he did not play a starring role, his character was one of the most iconic to come out of the sequel to the popular Christmas film.
