I saw the 1982 version of The Thing when I was, like, 6 on HBO and had nightmares for almost a year. I’m 45 now, and that film still freaks me out!

Have you rewatched it recently? It freaked me out the first time but after that it felt more campy.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

No, and now I won’t. It was just so perfect that I don’t want to ruin it.

I watched return of the body snatchers when i was around 8. The movie itself doesn't scare me anymore at all, but the feeling i had when i had when i had to run home at night still haunts me.
