• Monday Movie Meme: Trauma

  
  Movies that have shaken you to the core so much that you've never been the same because of them...
  

  1. Magic (1978) As a child, ventriloquist dummies had always creeped me out, but the tv trailer for this Anthony Hopkins/Ann-Margret thriller pushed my fear into a full blown phobia.You can read about my experience here, via a previous post.
  2. Phantasm (1979) During a sleepover at my house, my friend Kim and I snuck out into the living room after my mom had gone to bed to watch Phantasm on Cinevue (what we had during pre-HBO days). As sixth graders, we thought we were hot shit watching the R-rated horror film until the scene where a flying silver orb with spikes embeds itself in the forehead of one of the villains and drills his brains out. Kim ran into the bathroom to hurl, and I had to sleep with the lights on for a month afterwards, due to nightmares.
  3. It (1990) Just proves my point that clowns are evil. Period.
  4. Waiting (2005) I can no longer eat at a restaurant without worrying about what the kitchen staff is doing to my food. If you've seen this movie, you'll know exactly what I mean.<gag> And to think that I used to make fun of my mom's ex-boyfriend because he refused to eat at restaurants unless he could watch his meal being prepared.
