I don’t know the name and it was only one scene I saw passing by, something about giant spiders, and one dude was getting into the car to escape and a spider was inside waiting. It probably was in the second half of the 90s and it was on TV, so probably released in late 80s or early 90s. And I don’t think it’s arachnophobia, at least I haven’t seen any scene that reminds me of my memory.
I’ve had phobia to spiders ever since.
If we consider watching the full movie, it did haunt me for so long and I still remember it with dread, critters. Fucking hate those puppets they used.
The Giant Spider Invasion, maybe? It was on MST3K, but I think it was pretty successful on initial release too.
That could be, but in a quick look I couldn’t see the scene the way I remember it. It is definitely the same style. Thanks for trying to find it though!
No worries, hope you can ID it! 👍
If not arachnophobia, then perhaps starship troopers?
No, it wasn’t starship troopers, I love that movie. It was a kinda realistic monster-horror movie, in other words based in current time planet earth. The only unrealistic thing was the size of the spiders as far as I know.
The tanning booth scene from Final Destination really messed me up for a while.
I think I was ten when a friend and I asked his big sister if we could watch with her. We could, but I still think A Nightmare on Elm Street was a bit too much for me back then.
The Brave Little Toaster.
Yeah, I know. But the AC unit dying freaked me out.
Hey, my now very adult daughter feels the same way about The Fox and the Hound. Not judging.
Fire in the Sky. Still haven’t rewatched it decades later.
The Deer Hunter

The Shining
Yeah, that movie is legit creepy as fuck.
It’s a really good surreal kind of creepiness towards the end that I can definitely see having an impact on a kid. Stanley Kubrick was great.
Oh and The Shining at the time (11 y/o home alone) really messed me up as well.
Prophecy - that bear.
Event Horizon when I was 10. I think that recalibrated what the entire concept of fear was in my mind.
Oh man I said the same thing. The topless dead woman nightmare scene is seared into my memory.
Same for me, maybe I was a bit older but it scared the bejesus out of me and got me into reading scifi
I was like 6 when i saw some of The Ring. It fucked me up for a long time.
This is gunna sound stupid, but “Tales from the Hood.” At the end of that movie, where you learned all the guys are already dead, in hell and the guy telling the stories is satan just scared the absolute shit outta me.
i must have missed that somehow and it sounds fantastic based on what i can remember from it.
The trailer for Aliens was my introduction to the notion that maybe monsters could get through locked doors!
As an adult, it’s one of my all-time favourites.
Aliens is pretty wild like that, saw it when I was maybe 9 or 10, the concept of perfect intelligent killing machines with acid for blood and corpos wanting to smuggle them home was too much for me and left me doing an OCD check out my window before bed in case the queen was just tromping around outside, now I have the blu-ray collection but I still struggle to play alien isolation, too immersive
My mom would never watch “Mad about you” because “he was the bad guy in Aliens”
