TV or film moment that haunts you? *SPOILERS for various films and TV programmes* Title edited by MNHQ

[JEdgarHoover]

I just watched the parachute death from Hollyoaks. I’ve never watched Hollyoaks, but oh my god, it was so haunting. I felt terrified.

I’m not sure I recommend anyone watching it! The only other times I’ve really been affected by tv was on This is England the tv series - the rape by the stepfather and then the crack orgy for the young girl with all the skanky men. Both made me feel really ill.

The only other tv that gets to me is Futurama at the end of Jurassic Bark - the dog WAITED 😭

Anything that you couldn’t watch again/haunted you?

I'm thinking of Kabul when I think of Threads

Doctor Sleep. The whole film had me feel sick with nerves but there’s one particular scene of child torture that I wish I could bleach from my memories. It was absolutely horrific and never ending. I have to remind myself that they were all actors and it wasn’t real every time I think about it.

12 Years a Slave.
Horrendous. I wish I'd walked out of the cinema - stupidly didn't realise it would be so cruel.

Line of Duty. There was a recurrent punishment for criminals that they kept showing the results of, and I've never been able to get it out of my head. Certain tools I have to take a deep breath before picking up.

I'm never watching Threads. It came out when I was 15 and my mum banned me from watching it without hesitation. I didn't even want to.

A scene in MAS*H that I saw on some kind of Top 10 programme.

It was Vietnamese civilians on a bus with the American soldiers and one of the women had a chicken that wouldn't stay quiet and the American soldier was screaming at her to shut it up, she was obviously terrified so cover the chickens mouth to try and keep it quiet but it turned out the soldier must have been hallucinating/suffering ptsd and chicken was actually her small child and she smothered it to death. So sad

ZuZus petals in Its a Wonderful Life. I cry every time.

Shane’s murder suicide in The Shield. It was incredibly well written, acted and directed but the foreboding as it built up and then the horror of the aftermath was too much. The Shield was a fantastic series but I could never sit through it a second time.

Leaving Las Vegas. Just dreadful.

@TheCatsHaveEyes

Recently watched 'threads' thinking it couldn't possibly be as chilling and haunting as everyone makes out... It is. Completely soul destroyingly horrific and endless utter misery I thought there might be a glimmer of some kind of hope at the end but no just more crushing darkness. Never again.

Where did you find it?

I've been looking for it for ages!

Offred/june. Latest series of the handmaids tale. Scene where she is been tortured. I had too turn my head away, I felt sick

Oh so many.
When Catherine (Sarah Lancashire) got a kicking in Happy Valley and dragged herself to the squad car.
When Carey Mulligan sacrifices herself in Promising Young Woman.

An episode of Scrubs when Dr Cox has an amazing time with his BIL who he's very close to. Only to find at the end of the show that it was all in his head he just couldn't cope with the fact he had died.

My Girl "he can't see without his glasses"

The episode of Inside Number 9 with Sheridan Smith in. I kept thinking about it for ages afterwards.

This Is England rape scene. So disturbing.

It’s a Sin. I sobbed. For hours.

Threads was on YouTube a year or so ago. Might still be there.

@wheresmymojo online the quality was poor but watchable but honestly be prepared to feel off for a few days after was a tough watch

Spooks where the young female agent has her hand & face deep fried. Years later I still think of it.

Was it The Pianist or Schindler’s List where the guy in a wheelchair got tipped out of an upstairs window as he didn’t stand up when the Nazis stormed in?

And also, Nancy’s death in Oliver! One Christmas the film was playing and everyone had left that room to have a meal or buffet... I went back in to be confronted with the scene of Nancy getting beaten to death whilst I could hear laughter and merriment from the other room. I howled...

@Veryverycalmnow

The episode of Inside Number 9 with Sheridan Smith in. I kept thinking about it for ages afterwards.

Yeah this is a fantastic bit of telly

Cucumber. Absolutely harrowing!

@TheCatsHaveEyes, don't watch "When The Wind Blows".

It's an animation in the style of The Snowman, but it is an utterly bleak story about nuclear war.

I didn't watch shameless but it happened to be on one night and a character had dug up someone's father's corpse from his grave and dumped him like outside his house or something. It was awful and really disturbed me because after my father died I kept having nightmares about dead bodies.

YY to It's a Sin. So powerful and the perfect mix between joyful and funny and utterly tragic.
I sobbed when Colin's lovely mum completely accepted who he was and the fate he faced and he said 'I'm not dirty' and died.

Jonathan Creek, the prison with the falling ceiling (operated by a drawbridge), nightmares for years.

Peta looking emancipated in the Hunger Games

When the boy in the striped pyjamas goes under the fence.

Sybil's death in downton abbey
We've just re watched it all and omg I remember it was bad but since having kids it just hit me so hard...

And I'm not even sure what the film is called but it is about a volcano eruption, the family are in the boat and the water is acid and the grandma sacrifices herself and her legs burn off...
Watched that when I was younger and I still can't get over it...
