    Cube 2: Hypercube

    have I shared this story? My stepdad made me watch it because he thought it would build character.

    I think you have

    Was he hoping to turn you into the kind of character who knows what a hypercube is?

    Not a movie, but the Animorphs pilot and the VHS cover to this one MST3K episode with this tube-faced alien on it.

    ^^ Yup! It's... somehow creepier than I thought it would be?

    mostly my stepdad was just a giant idiot so I don't know what he thought would happen honestly

    In the movie he's just a lame ET ripoff

    Trumpy is a lame ET ripoff. Trumpy's mom, on the other hand, goes on a rampage that would make some slasher villains say "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn."

    Pod People is just baffling in that it tries to be a horror movie and an ET-ripoff "cute boy and his alien" picture, and the two halves just do not fit together at all.

    On topic: scenes from movies I caught on TV, completely devoid of context, that scared me:

    The face-melting from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    The backstory hanging scene from Once Upon a Time in the West. Perhaps more viscerally wrong to me, than outright scary. Made for a real "Holy crap!" moment when I finally saw the full movie over a decade later.

    Pretty sure I saw part of the prom scene from Carrie one time and it damn near traumatized me. Watching it again years later I was actually disappointed by how tame it seemed.

    Also, the scene in Batman where The Joker incinerates that one gangster guy. Nowadays that's one of my favorite scenes

    Brave Little Toaster.  Of course it was probably trying to give kids nightmares.

    Pretty much the entire ending of The Black Hole, but especially the part where they're in Hell for some reason.

    See, on our... I think it was our twelfth birthday, a friend of mine and I (we were born a day apart) had a sleepover party thing where we marathoned these, and I wasn't scared at all. I had really particular, weird fears as a kid, though, so that's by no means a statement of bravery, just an observation about mental priorities.

    Oh, and while I'm thinking about it: The Wicked Witch of the West melting. Oddly, she didn't scare me all that much otherwise, but that scene creeped me out badly.
