For one, the THX logo. I know, it's been done to death, but that thing used to scare the ever-loving crap out of me when I was a small child. π
Especially the Tex variants (the ones with the little robot). I've started to become interested in logos and graphic design over the last few years, and now I LOVE the THX trailers! My favorite is the Cavalcade variant. I first saw it on my DVD copy of The Incredibles, and I think that trailer sparked my making peace with THX.
Another one is a little weirder, and quite frankly I can't explain it: nightmare sequences in movies and TV shows. THIS IS STILL A CURRENT ISSUE I HAVE! It is NOT simply relegated to childhood trauma! They still bother me! There are two examples that stick out the most for me.
One is the nightmare Mater has in Cars 2. (I know, I know. "Eww, gross." But I LOVED that movie as a kid, and I got to admit, I still like it. It fueled my never-fully-passing spy phase lol) That scene scared the pants off of me as a kid. I still prefer not to watch it. I can, but I'm very uncomfortable the whole time. If I ever rewatch Cars 2 by myself, I usually skip that scene.
The second one gave me trauma as recently as six years ago. I was a teenager.
Did anyone else have a How to Train Your Dragon phase?
Does anyone who had said HTTYD phase devour every new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge when it came out?
Does anyone remember the episode "Not Lout"?
The nightmare sequence in that episode MADE MY SKIN CRAWL and I do not fully understand why. (I would provide a link to the scene for y'all, but I can't find it on its own on YouTube.) I think it was how out of character the characters were. It haunted me. I'm serious, I had a mild panic reaction while watching it. I really don't understand why.
