Stories that have scarred you.

F*cking hell, the horror has come back. ?

As a kid, I used to be quite sensitive in the matter of what I saw or heard or read, but now I'm a little bit more realistic and understand that all things described in books or shown in movies are just stuff that once came to someone's mind, so they literally may mean nothing to me. But even despite that, there're still a few things I'd rather forget and never come back to.
Ernest Thompson Seton's "Lobo the king of Currumpaw" shook a ***t out of me as a child. I love animals, and any act of violence towards them in literature or cinema or real life usually leaves me with nothing but an urge to cry and kill. In Lobo, they told me about a violent death of a she-wolf, and even though I realize it could be not that scary and awful and all, I don't feel like rereading the stuff.
The same thing happened when I accidentally watched a movie on telly, don't even remember its name, and it was about a guy who suffered from a lab experiment and became invisible. He tried to escape, and there was a dog - it was barking at him, as it was able to feel his presence, and the guy just broke its neck or something. I hate cinematographers for that.
And literally the same happened when I watched John Wick for the first time. His little bigle puppy's murder in the beginning is still the scene I avoid when watching the movie on TV.
I tried to recall anything connected to human death that left me scarred... and couldn't. The only thing that probably counts is Harry Potter movies, simply because my favorite characters suffered and died throughout the whole series, also because of the true personalities "reveal show" at the end that left a strong pain inside my chest.
Any movies where people die in a very inelegant or even stupid, bloody way don't really impress me anymore as I went far beyond my love towards humanity, to the next stage of it - sincere hatred. And books... well, books are something that I choose carefully before bying and reading, so I rarely stumble upon stuff that I don't like. Okay, there was a book where a little boy and his friend murdered a bunch of sparrow hatchlings in such a ruthless way, it left me literally frozen. And not that I had a choice of not reading it, 'cause it was included in my school program. Yeah.

Angles of death(Anime version). It was just purely disturbing.
(Edit)Not that it scarred me.

the bible.

as i grew up, i began to hate how violent it is, and how cruel and authoritative the god could be.

Books, television, manga, comics anything, doesn’t matter. Neither does the reason. Could be because of how bad it was, how scary, how disturbing, etc. I just want to “vent”, so you can too if you want.

Kami no Kodomo.

I am scarred, yet intrigued. It could’ve been worse, but I was not expecting it to come when it did, and am still a little surprised.
I hope anyone who hasn’t read it, will have their curiosity piqued, and go and drag themselves down here with me.

TV show Reaper. It was so good and it ended on a huge cliff and then was axed it was a truly scarring experience.

As a Kid once a few friends knowing that fact that I easily get scared by horror movies invited me for a movie watch. They then closed the door and showed me the most disturbing horror movie I think. I which the ghost will come to kill people in the shape of the most trusted or loved ones.
It will always utilise the opportunity when you are alone for some time to switch with real one it was morphing as, like when you go for the toilet or walk outside, etc.

After this for months, literally I could not properly sleep or go to the toilet and would not lie that I would go to the toilet with an open door and would ask my father to be in front of my eyes for all that time while looking back at him. When he will come from outside I will try to confirm his identity.

Sadly enough, that time considers with time, the time I left my mother and was living with him only. So, he attributed all this trauma and lack of sleep to my homesickness and due to not having a mother with me. This further elevated my horror as no one was believing me on this.

Since that day I never talked to those kids in all my life, even if now it is more than 20 years to that. I will be frank here that that trauma has never left me just I know how to live with it. As I no longer actually care for supernatural beings.

If not for a few strange accidents in my life I might have died from that horror.

It was sickening then and sadly it is still as sickening.
