My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I’m not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I’m there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, “The Big Boss (1971)”. In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That’s not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn’t believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn’t fall asleep. I never told my parents.

    This really creepy Czech Alice in Wonderland movie. It used stop motion with animal skeletons, fish heads, and tons of other things.

    My mom put it on when I was little in an attempt to keep me occupied.
    “Would you like to watch Alice in Wonderland, Thelsim?” She’d ask.
    “Yea!” I would shout enthusiastically, thinking she meant the Disney movie.
    Half an hour later I’m crying and hiding under the blankets.

    I never did watch that movie again. Maybe it’s not so bad now, but the screenshots still make feel very queasy.
