Maybe, but only if my memory is screwed up. In my memory, he and a young mother were hiding from some German soldiers. The baby was fussing, and he put his hand over its face so the Germans wouldn’t hear them.
And the baby suffocated.
Also, thank you for making me relive that memory! 
I’d do this all the time… but only when I was done drinking. Same thing with the straws that came with Tetra Pak packages. I liked to think that those little items were safer inside than all alone and lost in the trash can :D.
Safety tabs ruined that fun.
Perhaps you are older than I.
This would probably be The Haunting: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057129/
The director, Robert Wise.
Nah. That was clearly a puppet.
The first season of Game of Thrones when there was a jousting tournament and the loser suddenly pulled out his sword and chopped off his horse’s head. I told my husband he was on his own watching that show from now on.
I still watch a little when he’s watching it though. The next most traumatic scene was when King Joffrey made the one prostitute beat up the other one while he watched.
Come to think of it that entire show is traumatizing.
Ooh, that reminded me. Sometime early in the first season of Shameless, the drunk dad head butted his 10-ish son. This is a comedy? I never watched it again.
My husband loves that show. I think the Gallaghers are horrible people and can’t stand it.
The series had a lot of silliness. I’m not defending it, the show had quite a lot wrong with it., and I never liked it much even as a child. But this problem was addressed, at least. The Moon is travelling slower than light, but fast enough to experience time dilation. The episodes are years or decades apart, but it seems like a few days to the residents. There was an episode where the Moon came back to Earth, briefly, and hundreds of years had passed.
I know, it doesn’t quite work. But at least they thought about it.
I don’t know about the rest of the family, but I drew the line at physical child abuse.
I, too, vividly remember the kid getting his fingers chopped off (and the shot of them laying on the log afterward), but it wasn’t traumatizing to me. It was practically reassuring; the kid ran and showed his bloody stumps to his mom almost as a curiosity because he didn’t feel a thing. I was relieved that if somehow I cut off any digits with an ax in an old barn, at least it wouldn’t be painful.
You, Sir, are the most optimistic person whom I have ever met.
Pretty much every Lassie episode ever made. I eventually got so hysterical at the doggie-kitty-Timmy-whatever-in peril plots that my mom forbade that I watch it at all (I was six-ish when the ban was put into effect).
I think Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller might count, as they played ad infinitum on one of the four antenna channels we had. Inexplicably, my elementary school showed one of these films at least once a year on “fun day.” Mom would let me stay home on dead dog days. :eek:
I still blanch whenever it seems an animal is being introduced only to be lost/maimed/killed. Blip Channel changed!
Ooh! Ooh! Just remembered an Emergency ep that scared the crap outta me. A kid is swimming in a backyard pool and his her(?) arm gets stick in the drain.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t hallucinate this one . . . anyone else see this one?
That ought to be about a sixty second episode.
:dubious:
You put the tab from the can into the can of your previous beer. Well, at least that’s what I’d do back when cans were made that way.
When I was a child, my mother cut off one of my fingertips in one of those heavy apartment doors. It ripped the fingertip off at the joint right at the bottom of the nail.
I vividly recall the trip to the hospital. It didn’t hurt (which could have been shock, I suppose). And I remember just watching the blood flowing down my arm, in a kind of morbid fascination.
The fingertip has been reattached. They had me in a cast from my fingertips all the way up over my elbow. There’s a scar and some slight disfigurement, but you wouldn’t notice it if I didn’t point it out.
Nope, it was a full storyline.
Unless, of course, it didn’t really happen :p:p
FOUND IT!!!
It’s the “Dinner Date” episode – girl gets hand stuck in swimming pool and suffers an asthma attack: http://www.nexxie.0catch.com/Captures/Episodes/Dinnerdate/Dinnerdate_4.html
I remember where they had to get a pretty young woman’s big toe unstuck from a bathtub spout while she was in the bath. That… did not scar me for life.
