When I was about 8 years old (2016) I woke up early while my parents were still asleep and turned on the TV to see what to watch. Superjail was on and I cried due to so much gore being on the TV, even if it was cartoon gore. I was 8.

    This is embarrassing but Goosebumps. I think I watched an episode that just caught me off guard while I was in a strange place (first sleepover at a friend’s house) and the super campy episode freaked me right out.

    Runner up was poltergeist. My older sister thought it was very funny that it was rated PG and so I saw it when I was maybe 7 or 8. 😂

      I got got by a semi-campy Goosebumps episode as a kid and I was at home, no excuses. It was the one with the lawn gnomes that would move in the middle of the night, and it ended with them, off-camera, turning the mean neighbor into a lawn ornament version of himself. I still don’t know what freaked me out so much, but I couldn’t sleep for hours.
