My Kindertrauma: The Chocolate Touch

March 3, 2023 by Eric J. Juneau

Covers for books and videos are like car accidents. They’re horrific but you can’t look away. In the video store, instead of looking for something in the family section like I ought to have been doing, I was wandering the horror section, scrutinizing the covers for movies I would never be allowed to watch. Movies …

My Kindertrauma: The Cinemax “CHILLS” Hand

February 23, 2023 by Eric J. Juneau

So when I was a kid we had cable and we got a few premium channels. One of them was HBO, which was a blessing of movies. Not only did it have Fraggle Rock (and woe to anyone who could not partake of this divine show), but it also had that legendary promo before its …

My Kindertrauma: Fast Forwards

October 25, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

I missed a few things during my Kindertrauma run that I didn’t think of at the time and/or didn’t think worthy of an article. But time passes and hey, it’s Halloween anyway. The Neverending Story – Gmork Gmork is an interesting character. He’s really not in the film much and wolves can be as cute …

My Kindertrauma: Tales from the Darkside’s “Inside the Closet”

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

So for my final Kindertrauma, I bring you one of the most obscure, but most trauma-causing pieces of media I was much too young to see. Some people had Pennywise. Some had Chucky. I had the creature from Tales from the Darkside‘s “Inside the Closet”. Tales from the Darkside was like a cheaper, milder version …

My Kindertrauma: Tidbits

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

For my second-to-last entry regarding Kindertrauma, I thought I’d go over some of the moments that didn’t warrant an entire article, but were still evoke shivers when I think of them. “Recorded Live”(one of HBO’s Short Takes; also known as “Flesh Eating Film Reels”) I have no idea where or when I saw this, but …

My Kindertrauma: The Poison Cackler

February 17, 2023 by Eric J. Juneau

The first thing I remember being scared of was the Poison Cackler from Fraggle Rock. Early in life, we all learn what death is. The raccoon laying on the road shoulder. The crushed ant doesn’t move anymore. The grandfather laying in the casket and he looks so strange, unnaturally still, kinda plasticky. And as a …

My Kindertrauma: Night of the Creeps

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

On a very boring Saturday, our cable was out. I don’t remember why. Maybe we had canceled it early in anticipation of moving. Anyway, this was one of those odd days where there wasn’t anything to do, and the timing was right (I remember it started at noon exactly), so I sat down in front …

My Kindertrauma: Wonderful Sausage from “More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

How about a change of pace? Let’s hit the pause button on films and go for some literature. Now, I’ve never found reading very scary. It lacks the visual punch and timing. The best you can get is a sense of dread. I know some people say that when your imagination takes over, things are …

My Kindertrauma: Poltergeist III (the puddle scene)

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

So I already mentioned Poltergeist in my “Faces of Death” entry, but here’s a scary scene from a movie I never saw. I’m still not sure if I’ve ever seen it. In 1988, Poltergeist III was released. It includes a scene where Carol Anne is running through a parking lot, then stands in a puddle. …

My Kindertrauma: Faces of Death (Beetlejuice/Poltergeist/Indiana Jones)

December 14, 2021 by Eric J. Juneau

No, not actually “Faces of Death”. I wouldn’t learn about that franchise until I was in high school. And then it was more fun figuring out which vignettes were fake and which were real (this was before YouTube). No these are the terrifying moments about kindertrauma to someone’s face, usually in the form of it …
