  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What movie dramatized you as a kid?

Arachnophobia is what dramatized me as a kid. I remember looking under the covers to make sure there were no spiders in my bed. What about you?
Heights .... had some close calls in that regard. Heights still make me nervous.

The Omen. They showed it on television. The child was eerie, the music was creepy and I looked up the bible verses. I wasn't afraid in the sense of needing comfort. It was memorable and had a deep resounding sense of truth. Not truth because of the depictions but the certainty of the antichrist.

While I wouldn't recommend it for young viewers I was impacted nonetheless. I've never doubted satan's existence. Not even during my wanderings and search for God in other faiths. I always believed the devil was real and was bent on our destruction.

Many years ago someone shared a song from the soundtrack. I don't believe I knew the source. But the moment I played it was awful. There was an ominous feeling and unmistakable evil that only a dark soul could love. I turned it off and stopped corresponding with them.

Not a movie, but the TV adaptation of It. It was the end of a school term (maybe even the end of the year), and it was common practice for us to watch movies to keep us occupied while the teachers were busy wrapping things up, and someone in my class decided to bring this in for us to watch.

I would have been 11 or 12, and that was my first exposure to horror, and I didn't react well to it. I had trouble sleeping for a couple of nights after that, and while I don't think there were any repercussions, my parents weren't very impressed about us having been allowed to watch it.

What about you?

Just kidding. Couldn't resist the reference once it came to mind. ^_^



Actually one movie that got me at about 5 years old was Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
That must seem odd, but the scene I walked into the den on was of some burrowing creature crawling out of what looked to be a dead person's ear, and a small river of blood followed it. Then someone shot the creature to ash with a laser pistol or something. At least, The Wrath of Khan was what I remember later learning that the scene came from.
From 3 to 6 years old or so, the sight of blood in any context terrified me.
