It's late at night, and you can't get to sleep. You decide to go get a glass of water, and on the way you walk through the living room where your parents are watching something. You happen to glance at the TV at just the wrong moment and see something that forever burns itself into your brain and ensures you won't be getting to sleep anytime soon. It happens to everyone at some point. And no matter how many times you rewatch the film as an adult to see how ridiculous it really is, a part of you will always shudder at the memory. From Pet Sematary to Silent Night, Deadly Night, here are the horror films that scar children.

| 1 | Salem's Lot |
Speaking of friends and speaking of vampires, this slightly cheesy adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot happens to contain one scene that will really mess with kids.
A description just won't do it justice. It's a simple "let me in" scene between two boys, one of whom is a vampire. It's been done before and since in countless vampire movies, but this one is special thanks to the eerie sound of the vampire's nails impatiently tapping against the glass. The moment is over almost as soon as it begins, but it was enough to scar countless children who walked into the living room at exactly the wrong time.
