Name That Trauma:: Brian N. on an Upsetting Table Setting
Howdy Kindertrauma!
I've solved all of my childhood mystery movie memories — save one — and it's perplexed me for years! Here is what I can recall:
The scene takes place in a bar/restaurant. Some people are sitting around a table, and there may be some sort of aquariums (?) in the background. A man or men walk up to their table and it's a little tense. What really scared me, though, is what was on the table. There was some sort of centerpiece that frightened my young eyes. I'm not sure it was meant to be scary, but it was to me and has remained the centerpiece of this movie mystery memory for over 45 years. I'm not sure if it was a movie or TV show, but I know I saw it on TV, not in a theater.
I would've see this sometime between 1969 and 1971, when I was 4-6 years old. Thank you for any help you can give me! It's been a looong, frustrating trip trying to solve this one.

P.S. There is an early 70's anthology that has vampires in a restaurant, but that's not it.
Name That Trauma:: Amanda M. on a Sterile, White Prison Cafeteria
One of my early traumas comes from a snippet of a movie I don't know the name of. My cousin was watching this movie one day and I walked in and caught a scene that's stayed with me ever since (I was in my single digits I think). There was a man surrounded by a lot of tubes or pipes or something. He screamed, then the movie cut to a scene in a sterile white prison cafeteria. All of a sudden a bunch of blood and guts comes falling through the ceiling. That's when I noped out of the room, so I never caught what the movie was. Can you help me? I'd really appreciate it.

Name That Trauma:: Vojta on a Creepy Creature Sitting at a Desk
Hello there,
My name is Vojta, 25 years of age and I'm from Czech Republic. A friend of mine recommended me your site and told me, that you could – perhaps – help me.
I'm struggling with finding this movie for a really long time now. I literally had nightmares and trauma still many years afterwards. I couldn't fall asleep at nights as I was seeing the scene right in front my eyes. Actually, I still do and I would be so very grateful if you'd know this movie and help me out from my 15 years of misery, haha.
Alrighty, so this is what I remember…
The camera is looking on a staircase in quite a big and spacious family house with a door above it. When the door opens, a mother with their children (or maybe just one child) walks out the door and they all look frightened, looking around and so. Under the stairs there is an office desk with a chair behind it turned backwards to the table/camera. Then, they slowly go down the stairs, being as quite as possible. When they reach the desk, the armchair starts turning and there's sitting this creepy man/creature.. (sadly I can't describe him much).
That's all I remember, because then my parents turned it off.. It wasn't later than 2005, I think.
If you know this, again I would be so grateful.
Have a great day,
Vojta
