26 movies Lifehackers readers saw when they were too young

I’ve never heard of this movie and the comments are a bit long, but mostly as evidence that things didn’t get better in the good old days when the kids could all be alone. Time to include unedited ones.

“I was probably eight and went to an elementary school Halloween party. They were showing Asylum This was a 1972 movie covering five creepfest-style shorts detailing a horror story.

We arrived at the second act “Frozen Fear”. His husband plans with his mistress to kill his wife, which he does. He chops her body, wraps each part of her in butcher’s paper, and puts it in the freezer in the basement. Then he sits down for a drink to wait for his mistress.After a while, he heard a sound from the basement and turned around.■ A paper-wrapped head at the top of the stairs. Paper goes in and out as the head breathes. Then it rolls towards him, he throws his drink in his head, and it disappears. Then he of course has to check if his body is in the freezer, so he goes down to the basement to look at the freezer and his paper-wrapped hands grab his throat.

After a while, his mistress appears, sees the broken glass on the floor, and goes to the basement. She looks at the freezer and her husband is packed there. The basement door closes and she turns around and sees her paper-wrapped head rolling in front of her, standing upright and breathing. Then her limbs wrapped in her paper begin to writhe towards her.

This was a time when parents didn’t hover when you did a tricko treatment. There were no age-appropriate movie oversights. This movie made me deadly scared for years. I had my mom call me, but I didn’t have an answering machine. She was at her friend because she didn’t have a cell phone to call her.■ Halloween party. So I went home alone at 9 pm and heard all the noise of the nearby forest. How terrifying the horror of 1972 is now comical, but I have been traumatized for years. — —Dano_Austin
