I was 3 when my babysitter decided to show me Child’s Play. That’s bad enough on its own. But did you know that the Good Guy doll that Chucky possesses in the movie was based on a real doll on the market at that time, the My Buddy doll? And did you know that I had a My Buddy doll that I slept with every night? And did you know that the only way to keep your doll from murdering you and your family is to bury it in the closet under as many books, toys, blankets and dirty clothes as possible and never step foot in that closet again? I DO! My Buddy got banished until I was probably 8 years old
My dad did this too! It was more like he would just leave them on the TV, though, and not as much having me sit down with him to watch. It kinda let me tap out whenever, but boy did I get real scared at times.
I remember when Signs was on once, that one got me. Anything that vaguely sounded like clicking at night would have me sweating, haha. We had this fish tank and the filter noises from it would keep me up for hours just listening in case it was an alien.
All that said, I remember those things as a quirky and kinda fun memory now, and probably was what got me into scary movies as an adult.
I was about 5 when my dad had me watch Candyman 2 with him. I wouldn’t go in front of a mirror for over a year afterward.

I too had a My Buddy doll. He was cool, until he wasn’t. And he was also banished to the attic closet in my room… and never received a pardon
I still remember the My Buddy and Kid Sister ad jingles 🫣
