My parents thought it was a good idea to let me (9) and my 12 year old brother watch Poltergeist while they were out at some social event.

That movie damaged me. I love it now though.

    Same! The whole family was leaving for a big hunting \ camping weekend, and we were leaving at 2am to get there at a decent time through the 10 hour drive. As my folks were packing, 8 year old me was staying up watching tv, and my mom goes, "Poltergeist is on HBO right now, you should watch it, I think you'll like it!" Well I don't remember if I stopped at the clown or the tree eating scene but I definitely saw both and was then immediately wisked away to stay in the woods for a week... Terrifying
