I thought this was going to be a serious discussion. I'm disappointed.

My answer was serious! I can't think of a single horror movie that ever really scared me but that scene made baby drrr scared to turn on the TV for weeks and gave me nightmares

IN FACT IF YOU WANT A SERIOUS DISCUSSION, I'd argue the tropes and concepts in that 2 minute ren and stimpy clip are scarier than MOST mediocre-to-average horror films.

I'm really trying to think of other horror stuff that scares me, but the only thing really standing out is an episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark, but I can't even remember which episode it was. I think it involved a kid being trapped and cursed or something and there was no real resolution so there was a lingering "and they were never saved and trapped forever" sort of thing.

Don't like that lack of resolution. Kill them or save them and I'm cool with it, but a lingering conflict sticks with me

I think horror doesn't bother me too much because my family are all big true crime fans and I used to watch America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries ever since I was a toddler.
