    • The Neverending Story: STARTS with a horse DYING FROM SADNESS and the movie is about existence being devoured by nothingness.
    • Nightmare on Elm Street: where the fuck were my parents?!
    • Time Bandits: the cages floating in the void, the dwarves being chased down a corridor, the parents die to evil at the end…don’t they? Ambiguous existential dread all around this one.
    • The Thing: no clear childhood memories or nightmares but I know I saw it before I was 10.
    • Reanimator: ditto for The Thing.
    • The Shining
    • Cat People
