Hi guys.
My movie trauma is the ending of the James Bond film Live and Let Die. I have never got over seeing Baron Samedi on the front of the train, laughing his head off! Just no!

Sugar Hill (1974)
I'm beside myself with enthusiasm for the 1974 supernatural zombie blaxploitation flick SUGAR HILL. My life before viewing it now seems to be, in retrospect, a sham. One time STARSKY AND HUTCH regular MARKI BEY is both ice cool and fiery fierce as Diana "Sugar" Hill, a woman scorned and…

Name That Trauma :: Reader Baron Exu on a Bloody Bathroom
Greetings Kindertrauma! O.K., I have searched out and found nearly every horror film I vaguely remembered from my childhood, except one. One that actually scared me into leaving the drive-in when I was about 12; the year I saw it would have been sometime in the mid-to-late seventies. It had…

Allison,
This struck a primal nerve with me as a kid as well; I wrote about it on this site as my earliest film that scared me
If I had to re-examine it, the entire movie was unsettling, or at least a one-off bizarre vibe from the cut and dry spy-tech-guns trope of a James Bond film.
We saw it at the community swimming pool on a screen over the water on a hot, sterile night it the 70’s when I was young. It was one of those nights you sweat outside…..and everyone in the movie was sweating as they ran about in the jungles and bayous on their voodoo caper.
Sweat, sweat, sweat…..skulls, snakes , crocodiles and tarot cards. Whisper, Tee-Hee, and The Baron.
Throw in the grisly comic-death of Kananga inflating to the ceiling and exploding after being force fed some kind of compressed air pellet., and I can’t help but think this is exactly what kindertrauma is all about!
What a walk home that was….
