Yeah this was my absolute nightmare as a child. I had a phobia of movie theatres and would only go if I knew the movie and the previews beforehand wouldn’t be scary. If a mixup like this had happened with me in the theatre, I’d probably still have that phobia!
That actually made me laugh out loud :), thank you!
Seeing “Watership Down” as a kid made my horrified parents realize that animated does not equal children’s film.
I am not quite that bad (as to be scared by a cartoon mouse) but seeing the first minutes of this would have legitimately traumatized me for years. After seeing a Nightmare on Elm Street I could not walk into a dark room without thinking I was going to be eviscerated. This went on for years and I only came to terms…
I get nightmares just from seeing scary movie commercials on TV. That shit should be illegal!
I’m with you. What’s worse, my mother had NO SENSE when it came to taking me to movies. She took me to see Coma. COMA. I was 9, and the scene where the janitor gets electrocuted gave me nightmares for months. Thanks, mom.

You couldn’t take my niece to the movies until she was nearly 7 because, forget the movies, the LIGHTS GOING DOWN made her freak out. Like screaming; sobbing. I don’t regret that we kept trying (and by ‘we’ I mean my brother kept suggesting I do it because I’m “good with kids” i.e.. work with kids. I think he was…
I’m with you- to this DAY I can’t watch horror movies, I get frightened so ridiculously easily. When I’m in the theater and the trailers for a horror film start up look away I have to just sit there and stare down into my lap until it’s over. If I was a kid and accidentally saw the first five minutes of Insidious, I’d…
Scaredy cat.
Damn... I hope no one took you to see “The Secret of NIMH” o_O
Oh god, is that what happened to him? It makes so much sense. That poor guy...
Oh my goodness. You precious thing, you!
