A specific film genuinely terrified me at age seven, rewatched it recently and found it almost charmingly tame, funny how much perspective actually shifts over the years

Curious what people's version of this is, the thing that felt genuinely traumatic as a kid and now just gets an affectionate laugh on rewatch
Undefeated, unless you count every practice match

A certain animated film's villain gave me nightmares for weeks as a kid, rewatched it as an adult and found the character almost comically unthreatening
I read every reply. Even the bad ones.

A specific scene from a family film terrified me so badly I refused to watch the movie again for years, and now as an adult I can't understand what scared me so much

A puppet based film disturbed me as a child in ways I couldn't articulate, rewatching now it just looks charmingly dated rather than actually frightening

A certain fantasy film's antagonist haunted my dreams for an embarrassingly long stretch as a kid, watching it now with my own kids they're completely unbothered by it

A specific transformation scene in an otherwise family friendly movie scarred me as a child, and now it just looks like fairly obvious practical effects work

An animated sequence from a children's film disturbed me deeply as a kid, and now watching it with genuine adult perspective it seems almost quaint by comparison
