The Brave Little Toaster. 36 and I still won't watch the junkyard scene again.
I'm an engineer, and a amateur mechanic; reflexively anthropomorphizing vehicles and appliances has been helpful, but also a source of a lot of emotional distress over the years when things break in ways I can't make better.

The Cybermen from 1970s Dr Who. As a small child, they terrified me. When they did the reboot a few years back, I still couldn’t watch it.

The alien from “Alien” breaking out through that guy’s chest. I was in high school and refused to go into my empty house after I got home from the movie. I even stayed with a neighbor till my parents got home. Oh the shame, but I was scared outta my mind!

Not a movie, but show. Nurse Jackie. I got through the first 2 seasons before I had to stop. She was such a narcissistic sociopath it was hard to watch. She was a wonderful nurse, but that’s all. It bothered me to see someone be that dishonest and I still think about it as there are actual people like her amongst us.

Well, it's not like she was a serial killer, she was just an addict. And yes, we are "among you" and most of us are truly good people, we just have an illness.

Almost every character in all the Toy Story movies. I already thought of my stuffed animals as partially alive, but when I watched the first movie it made me miserable about anything bad I’d done to them, and nervous that they would judge me for anything bad they’d seen me do. And the kid who rips the toys apart to make new ones traumatized me for life. To this day I am very loving and respectful of my stuffed animals because of him.

That snail in Turbo. I was about 5 when I saw it (my first movie at the cinema) and I was so scarred by that darned snail. I was already a lifelong hypochondriac and I was so scared that a snail found it’s way into my heart and is now zooming about in my body.

Not a movie, but a book. Parents read Harry Potter to me at night. I lived in an area with lots of coyotes. I was reading the part in one of the books, when Lupin is talking to Harry about Fenrir Greyback. Coyotes decided to make a bunch on noise at that moment. I freaked out.
