I'm confused by your secret.

[(Anonymous)]

You say that you and your siblings found it delightfully creepy, but you don't understand how it could have creeped others out. Does it make sense to you, knowing all the different people that exist in the world, that they would have the exact same sensitivity to creepiness? Some people have a lower threshold. And what with the puppets and the intentional darkness, is it really surprising that it went too far for some?

Re: I'm confused by your secret.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed, that’s a weird contradiction in the secret.

Although I liked most of the movie as a kid - it was the scene where one of the potatoe looking people visibly had their life force drained out of them and deflated that freaked me out back then. I like it now though its been a while since I last rewatched it after the series came out.

[pantswarrior]

I don't remember being creeped out by it, just grossed out by certain scenes. More "ew" than "eek".

[arcanetrivia]

Yeah. I was really grossed out (still kinda am tbh) by the Emperor turning to dust. But at least that was dramatic - I could really have done without the deliberate gross-out humor in "Age of Resistance".

I thought some of it was pretty creepy, but it was so fantastical that I loved it.

My sisters thought it was terrible, though

I think it's something between their eyes and the way they moved. Never saw it as a kid, but thinking back to shit that creeped me out as one it would be that.

[tentaclecore]

i watched the Dark Crystal for the first time on Laser Disc (!!!) when i was like three or four and don't recall finding it creepy or scary at all, so i think it's just different for everyone. some people will be twigged by it, others will go "yaaaaay" and not think a thing of it.

[tabaqui]

It came out when I was a teen, so no, it never scared me. It was fun and creepy and cool.

I don't (emotionally) understand any "it scared me as a child". I don't think any media scared me as a child.
Sadly I've watched Dark Crystal only relatively recently, I don't think it was ever translated in my country. I would have liked to watch it as a child, it seems like a perfect child-me movie

[(Anonymous)]

No offense, but I don’t understand how you can’t (emotionally) understand how anyone could be scared by media as a child just because you don’t think it happened to you. Fear is an extremely common and simple emotion, especially for children, and it’s not hard to understand “thing on screen scared small child” just because you weren’t that child.

Individual things that scared other children being hard to understand, I totally get. I myself never understood why any kids were scared of the Flying Monkeys from The Wizard of Oz, because it didn’t phase me at all. But not understanding “it scared me as a child” as a concept? That’s rather odd.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand it on an emotional level. I can understand why people are scared of something or were scared as a child. As a concept. But for example I don't find Flying Monkeys scary, so it's a bit weird to me when people find them scary. The thing is media never was that scary to me. It's just a story. So I can understand as a concept but on a emotional level I don't really. Not sleeping after whatching this cartoon? Sounds so weird.

Sorry if I don't articulate myself clear enough D:

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, gotcha. That does makes sense.

I have trouble articulating myself like 90% of the time lol. So you’re fine, I honestly probably misread your comment rather than you not articulating well.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man the Skeksis freaked me the fuck OUT when I was little! But that's part of why I loved the movie so much. One scene in particular, where one of them is coming out of the shadows... somewhere... aaahhhh I can't quite picture it anymore -- but that scene would haunt me for a long time after a viewing. Watching it many years later as an adult I still remembered that when the scene came on but I was laughing at my silly younger self because it really didn't look scary to me at all.
