Hi folks.
As with many "Name That Traumas," I don't remember a whole lot of the film that traumatized me but here it goes.
I would have seen this on U.K TV around 1987/88, and it definitely had a grainy, ‘70s look to it.
The scene that ran me out of the room was of a boy of around 13 going into a service station restroom. He enters the stall and a filthy hand reaches under the wall accompanied by a rough sounding voice (think, TOM WAITS at his gruffest) asking for some toilet paper. The boy is understandably reluctant but after a couple of requests he goes to hand some toilet paper to the filthy hand and is immediately grabbed and pulled under the wall.
I have been trying to figure out what this could've been for so long now and countless Internet searches have yielded nothing.
Hope somebody out there has some idea.
I would appreciate any suggestions as my memory is quite hazy and things may not have played out exactly like the scene described.
Thanks,

Okay, I have NO idea what this is, but I have to say that second screenshot is kind of funny considering I JUST watched Class of 1984 for the first time yesterday, and it totally reminds me of Stegmann beating himself up halfway through the film.
Eshbaal, that's exactly the same thing I thought!
haven't seen Class Of 1984 in years but I remember really liking it, Stegmann beating himself up was a great moment
I consider the scene with Corrigan "teaching" his Biology class with a gun in his hand to be one of the most intense things I've ever seen.
Seriously. I had heard Class of 1984 was a tough watch, but damn me if I was prepared at all.
I suggested Class of 1984's Alice Cooper theme song I Am The Future for our class song (We're so wasted we're barely alive, We are the class of 85!) but no one agreed, & my motto went over like a lead balloon.
Great film though, heavy but well made for such a low budget.
Hmm, this sounds a whole lot like a scene from The Game. Michael Douglas is in a public restroom and a random guy in the stall next to him is reaching his hand under the stall asking urgently for some toilet paper.
I know it isn't the scene you're referring to since The Game came out in the 90s. I personally thought that scene was creepy though and remember it quite vividly because it seemed so odd and out of place.
