I remember sometime in kindergarten (which would be from the second time I was in kindergarten in August 2004 or sometime later that year) when I saw the first Saw movie on the TV and the volume was real loud and it was during the beginning of the movie during the bathroom scene and I got really nervous because of the screaming, so I ran back into my room. But other than that, the Saw series never really scared me. Even the Jigsaw puppet never really did it for me. Funny considering how the Saw series is one of the most politicized horror movie series that I know of (see Saw V during the pendulum blade scene of that convicted murderer who got released under a technicality after murdering the FBI detectives daughter with the Celtic Cross and SS tattoos and that other scene from Saw VII with Chester Bennington playing a white supremacist in the car with his three friends on the outside, with one of them having a hook attached to his jaw behind the car while the other is attached to a garage door in front of the car and his girlfriend underneath it and they were killed for being “racists” or something stupid like that).
I also saw some Steven King horror movies, like It and Cujo, but neither scared me as a kid. I actually remember liking the scene where the dog killed the police officer. That was pretty badass. I know that would never happen in real life because American cops always shoot dogs. There were a number of other horror movies I saw as a kid too on the Sci-Fi channel, but none of them bothered me either, even though some of them were *very* gory and graphic (like Cabin Fever). The only horror movie that terrified me as a kid was The Ring, and that was because of the well scene. That made me afraid to walk through the hallways at night. But other than that, no horror movie ever scared me as a kid.
Also, as for childhood fears, I was never afraid of clowns, but I was somewhat unnerved and weirded out by puppets.
