I remember seeing Attack from Mars, or whatever the title was, as a kid, and crying, not only because there were people being disentigrated by ray guns, but because I thought it was sad to do that to people. I have only seen it once since.

Another scene I remember was of a guy getting shot with some gun that blew a hole through his middle. And he reached in and touched his innards before he keeled over. That really grossed me out back when I was like 5.

The Blackhole?
That's the one. I remember the goofy eyes on the robot.

So nobody else got scared by the Chocolate Factory, eh? How about the Wizard of Oz? Both of those movies were just so...surreal and weird and creepy. Plus, the Chocolate Factory killed all the freaking kids!

For reasons I cannot really explain, the first three Superman movies left me with a deep sense of uneasiness and dread as a child. Like, no joke. Something just isn't right about the whole world in those.

The Blob frightened me more than god himself when I was younger. Not even the Exorcism left me with as much dread as Steve McQueen running away from a big, living, dark-colored slab of melted jell-o.

There, I said it.

He said Steve McQueen, so I'd assume the original. As for Mars Attacks, that was funny as hell! We had a huge group back in college all go to see it, and we were laughing our asses off the whole time. The one Physics major in our group thought the funniest thing was the Martians inhaling the helium from the nuclear explosion, but Physics majors are weird anyway.

Mine was probably "The Green Slime". I remember it was Trick or Treat nite and instead of allowing me to go, my #!@$&*)#%+# step-father, King Charles the First, decided we all had to go to the movies and that was what we saw.

The Green Slime

Its amazing what will scare you when you are 4 years old.

That's true, I was scared of people when I was 4. Oh wait, I still am...

OK, I've got one. SF film, possibly a TV film, from about 1987. Aliens invade space station or space ship (if the latter, it's en route to, or orbiting, Earth). Cross between Alien and The Thing - infected people sprout tentacles etc. At the end hero and heroine escape in a shuttle and the ship burns up or explodes or something (a la Alien resurrection).

No idea what you're talking about, but it reminded me of something for some reason which is totally unlike it. Except that it also is a "body snatchers" type thing. I think it might have been an episode of that Nickelodeon show "Are you Afraid of the Dark?" ...anyway...long story short, aliens taking over people's bodies, who subsequently being to pour coffee down the front of their pants in order to ingest it. That's really all I remember.
