I should also mention "Young Sherlock Holmes." Like many of you, this was a movie I saw after sneaking out of bed at some ungodly hour of the night. Although I think it's technically supposed to be for kids, it scared the ever-loving shit out of me, to the point where watching scenes from it STILL make me uncomfortable. *shudder*

The Adventures of Mark Twain, a 1986 claymation movie that my parents thought would be good for my brother and myself to watch when I was about 4-5 years old.
It was this scene in particular with The Mysterious Stranger that did it for me.
Especially the part that starts around 4:15... it pretty much shaped my entire life hearing those lines.

I saw that scene before and it scared the living fuck out of me...
Also, why does Mark Twain look like Albert Einstein?

Right now I'm having trouble figuring the idea of what a "childhood-killing movie" is within this context because every time I think about it, the only thing that comes to mind are unnecessary remakes of old movies just made for the sake of money (you know very well which ones are, so no need for examples).
Come to think of it, not sure what to make of that,
I think a better description for this thread would be "Moves that killed your child innocence."
Speaking of killing childhood innocence, I was probably about 8 or so when my parents showed me The Exorcist. It didn't even really freak me out that much, I just thought it was pretty cool. I guess that explains why I'm so desensitized to virtually everything now.

I'm pretty sure The Exorcist is not suitable for eight year olds.

It's the story of a young girl finding her place in life. It's really more a Coming Off Age movie than anything.

...yeah. Were your your parents trying to turn you into a serial killer or something?

I think they thought, "Hey, it's claymation, it must be for kids" or something like that. I did have an uncle who used to make me watch the Nightmare On Elm Street movies when I was around the same age though. He was always making my brother and I watch some fucked up movies when we went to his house. I must say my family has quite a few people who are rather fucked in the head in it.

Muppet's Frog Prince, the witch was creepy but the worst part was Sweetums. First he comes really close to killing Robin and Kermit. Then you think he's dead when the ceiling falls in on him but at the end of movie he's cheering along with the happy townspeople, so he's like immortal or something. And the townspeople are just letting him stay there like he isn't a giant killing machine. You know he's just faking kindness untill he's left alone with some one who he will then kill and eat.

I have to go with Return to Oz. That movie gave me nightmares after I saw it at the theaters, but I actually kind of appreciate it now. The living heads in jars were creepy as hell to me at the time. After Futurama I guess I'm used to it now.
The horse dying in Never Ending Story was pretty devastating for me as well as a kid.

Does thinking your first impure thought count? If so, I"ll add the pink ranger from MMPR the movie. Because of her I never went through the "girls are gross" phase.

Id have to go with Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction as the movies that really killed my childhood innocence. I remember being about 8 when my dad and I watched both of those together.
Where's Doctor Wiley... Oh no, too late.
