I can never forget the scene I saw as a child from the film Midnight Express where Billy Hayes was about to be raped by the Turkish guard, then he pushed guard into the wall hangar, killing him from the neck, finally gaining freedom from the prison. In fact much of that movie got to me deeply. I was too young to see that.

Exactly this one for me too. Although I was already a teenager.

And the other one with a lasting impact was ...well, I think it must have been again a Disney movie. Can´t remember well, must have been four. Little Indian Joe explored a cave, rested on a rock -and the rock turned out to be a huge bear hunting Little Joe...

Yeah "A Serbian Film" makes the Saw movies and The Human Centipede look like Disney films and that fact it tries to be art made me laugh

So Milosevic and Karadzic are murderous porn directors, the porn star guy on drugs is Serbians, and Bosniaks, Croats, and Albanians are babies?
Even if we accept that this was the literal intention, that's a really weak metaphor that is not worth the movie.

Though I'll be honest, the movie no matter how gross can't hold a candle to the actual events it seeks to metaphor.

Anyway the scene of the atomic bombing of Heroshima in Barefoot Gen traumatized me good since I saw it at age 5.

The more traumatic part was watching the prisoners walk around that pole like dead, lifeless and hopeless men.


I also can't forget Rutger Hauer in BladeRunner where he saved Harrison Ford, and just before he died as a replicant, poured out the sad reality of how incredible moments experienced "will be lost in time, like tears in rain" before succumbing to death. (this one wasn't traumatic but just memorable, but also a bit too dark for my age )

Oh, that's a truly shakespearian scene: "I have seen Battleships on fire at Tannhauser Gate..."

[Skydiver8888]

I'm giving away my age here, but yeah...

Mine is kind of odd. I was 8 years old when my dad took me to see Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan in the movie theatre. This was the first time i'd seen a star trek film, though i knew the show from syndication. (This was 1982, folks)

Anyway, They got to the scene where Khan puts the worms in Kirk's ears, and I lost it. Done and done. I was a little girl screaming and crying in the theatre, covering my face, eventually hiding under the chair. I can honestly say, that movie scene scarred me for life. When f-in JJ Abrams did it again in the new Star Trek (well, this time a bug in the mouth) I almost puked. But to this day, i STILL have a freakishly odd fear of things crawling into my ears.

Oh, and I vowed I would never watch another Star Trek film...a vow which I kept until the new one came out last year. I figured it had to be safe, it's a reboot! Plus, I have a freakishly odd fascination with (read: crush on) Zachary Quinto...

The last bit of Pan's Labyrinth. I think I sat with my hand over my mouth for a good 20 minutes after the film finished. Amazing movie.

Bambi, or Dumbo, or any Disney film where something appalling happens to the character's mother. As a small child, the idea of being without my mum was the most traumatising concept imaginable.

[Sticky Controller]

That reminds me. I was just a child when I saw Dumbo and that scene where he gets drunk disturbed me deeply. At first I was confused and then it just scared me. I had nightmares about that for months. Whenever I watched the movie I would have to skip that part.

The pink elephants thing? Yeah, that was weird. I never liked Alice in Wonderland when I was little, for similar reasons.

Yep. Anything abstract is scary and confusing to a child. If the scene takes a dramatic twist it can be a bit unsettling for someone of that age. I remember a few select parts in the animated telling of Alice in Wonderland. The scene where everything is engulfed in water, like with a great flood. Alice is just sailing along on an umbrella and no one will help her. The dandelions and other flowers picking on Alice was disheartening for me as well. Not to mention the loud, "OFF WITH HER HEAD". I don't know why, but the new Alice In Wonderland directed by Tim Burton seems a wee bit tame. Though it is probably because I am older.

Evil Dead, but especially the part where his hand tries to kill him and he cuts it off but it still comes after him. I must have been 7 or 8 when I saw that (through my neighbor's back door, I was definitely not supposed to be watching it) and couldn't sleep for days. My mom tried to tell me my dad had seen plenty of disembodied hands and they never moved (he's a pathologist), but I told her, "He hasn't seen this one!" There's still something about disembodied hands in movies that kind of freaks me out, even the one in the Addams family movies.

Good god man! How can you not say tree rape? Remember that scene in Evil dead? Unless you watched it on a censored channel on television.

These anecdotes have been fascinating to read.

I get the sense that some of us watched a lot of horror movies at a young age, and perhaps developed a higher degree of tolerance for this type of content.

Personally I watched many horror movies as a young child and came to really enjoy the sensation of feeling scared. Very few films can inspire me to feel any sort of psychological terror (as opposed to simply being startled by cheap sound FX) as an adult, but these are usually quite memorable and what I consider to be excellent films, like The Shining, Alien, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, The Thing, Old Boy and a few others.

There is only one film I've seen that I truly wish I could unsee and that is The Human Centipede. It wasn't so much scary as simply revolting. It sort of caused nightmares, but I didn't feel scared, just slightly nauseous.

The Human Centipede was boring.

But I do think you are right, see things at a young age you get a higher tolerance but still that scene from Barefoot Gen(I would link it but I don't need a ban) gets to me everytime more so now that I know history.

I personally can't say I've ever developed a tolerance. I can only say that some movies simply remained in my system for life :S and I prefer to stay away from the more horror oriented films in general.

I recall another two that affected me deeply. One was "Sybil" (Sally Field) about an abused child who developed 16 personalities, and the second although less painful was "Audrey Rose" , both seen as a  child, and both cause my heart to skip a beat when thinking about them to this day

1)  Wallace's execution, at the end of Braveheart.   (though I might be confusing this scene with my knowledge of the historical details of his death...) 

2) the scene by the fireplace in Episode II, where Anakin is confessing his love for Padme.  (for me, the absolute nadir of all things Star Wars). 

3) all of The Ring gave me an icky feeling for days.  (American version, which I saw first.  Japanese version seemed tame after that).

"Any given Sunday", the last game when the guy loses his eye. You just don't expect that to happen and it is quite horrible. Probably one of my worst lasting movie memories.

EDIT: one more thing (and it's actually more funny than scary but it fits in here, I think): Couple of years back I was seeing a horror movie (can't remember which one, nothing special) in the theater. there was a really bloody scene, someone was wreaking havoc with an axe and there was a lot of blood, gore and such on the screen. At that point, I felt my nose was running put my hand up and m whole hand was covered in blood.
Turns out it was just a random nose bleed but the timing was quite exceptional (talk about interactive cinema). The friend of mine who sat next to me was pretty susceptible to such movies though and I think I managed to scare the living sh*t out of him.

Well, I did see actual footage of the Holocaust death camps in my history class once.  If you guys think Schindler's List is bad, let me tell you: that was nothing compared to the actual images.  The Hollywood rendition of it toned down the most horrible aspects of it to a huge degree.  The images themselves were really disturbing (and it didn't help that they were shown in a silent manner, almost like a slide show), but it was the fact that this actually happened, that it wasn't just someone dressed up or some special effects, but the real thing that hit me.  Yeah, we all walked out of that class very subdued.

But as a kid, there wasn't much.  Maybe it was because my parents were largely responsible and didn't let me watch horror movies before I was ready, or maybe I just don't traumatize easily.  The closest thing would be the Brave Little Toaster, which has some very scary undertones for a kid's movie.  Abandonment, feelings of worthlessness, fear of being cannibalized and your insides used to build something else, were all themes here.  Then there's the completely out of nowhere and scary dream sequence with a clown that shoots forks at the toaster.  That scene was really scary when I was little, and still creeps me out today.

As for a modern movie, I'd have to say Brothers Grimm.  That movie really creeped me out, especially the scene with the horse (if you've seen it you know) and the scene with the "gingerbread man."  I honestly don't know if I can watch that movie again.

...I have to say, I wouldn't have guessed that so many people received traumas from the living pictures.

[ubermensch007]

I may be the exception in that words usually have more power with me than images: but I can think of a few...I'm going to have to go with the destruction of Krypton in Richard Donner's Superman : The Movie.. The Death Star may have wiped a planet off the celestial map in Star Wars IV : A New Hope, but its annhilation was only shown from the perspective of those on The Death Star... However in STM, we saw horrific images.People falling into nothingness.Men, women and children with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,... All thier achievements, All thier progress, destoyed in mere moments.It was a nightmare scenario to eclipse all others. For years to come, i wondered if such a thing were truly possible : " Could a planet self-destruct ? "  after watching ironically enough "The Science of Superman " the experts or theorist speculated that such a horror might actually be possible

My brother use to really get freaked out by the villian from Spiderman and His Amazing Friends episode : " Attack of The Arachnoid " I told him that episode was on one of those all cartoon channels on Fios TV the other day and he refused to watch it, even after all these years   I watched it and that dude really was very creepy    the way he talked and moved and that big spider butt that he had was icky..

Here's another vote for the opening scene in American History X... that was just too much. The movie is still one of my alltime favorites.

But out of all the scenes in any movies I've ever seen: the scene when Dracula first shows his fangs in the original black and white Dracula with Bela Lugosi. Our family was staying at a cabin when I was 5 or 6 years old and the others were taking an evening swim and they left me alone inside the cabin which had only candle lighting and a small travel tv.. they let me watch Dracula and the following night was the first night I can remember in my life that I stayed up all night.

Horror these days sucks like someone earlier mentioned. Too much blood, guts and whatnot. Not scary.

The tree rape scene in Evil Dead ...

I have a funny story about Evil Dead. The first time I ever saw it was when it was about 20 years old (when they brought out that recolored version) and I was also something like 22. Me and my girlfriend watched it laughing at the ridiculous effects and I remember telling her this when the girl went out of the cabin: "goddamnit what's gonna happen next, some twigs come and rape her??" About a minute later we stared each other in the eye for a few seconds and bursted into laugh. I still can't take that film seriously, I should've watched the original one; the recolored one just looked like modelling clay in neon colors and completely ruined all immersion of the movie.

[jamesp81]

The first Alien movie in its entirety.

The part in Predator where the predator tears that guy's spine out. Of course I was about 10 or so.

Kill Bill Vol 1 at the beginning, where the bride was laying in her own blood near death. Actually, that entire movie really disturbed me on some level I can't quite identify.

The rape scene in "A Clockwork Orange". I won't link it because it is rather awful... But, yeah, that's the one which has traumatized me the most.

Yeah, that one was pretty hideous, actually.  Can't stand to watch that movie for this reason.

What about Saving Private Ryan? I'm quite desensitized by video games, but even I got sick while watching the D-day scene.

I almost mentioned this one.  I didn't because it isn't disturbing so much as it's emotional.

D-Day probably represents the single greatest act of collective human bravery in all of history.  Brings a tear to my eye every time I see this movie.

[Elhanan]

Not being Sherlock, the scene in Alien when a man starts to bleed milky white blood made me quite nauseous at the time, as I had failed to consider androids at all. Plus the entire film is one of my fave Horror & Sci-Fi films of all time.

Three Men and a Baby - scene where the guys are going through baby withdrawl, and sniff her old clothing brought me to tears due to my sim circumstances. Bambi? Old Yeller? Nothing! But this scene got me good.

Aracnaphobia - The large mama was easy to dismiss, but the hordes of smaller spiders coming out of the plumbing had me notice that my feet were no longer on the floor of the theater.

Poltergeist - made it thru most of this one without a scratch, then when it begins to happen again, I found myself actually yelling, "Get those kids outa that house!". Funny thing to me to this day is that not one person in the theater objected.....

And the sheer disappointment over films that should have been so much better, nods go to Red Sonja, Supergirl, and D&D: The Movie; maybe others I have blocked from my current memory.
