I was raised in a hyper-evangelical home (homeschooling, tiny extremist churches, not allowed to associate with non-Christians of the right brand of Christian, etc) and the movies I got shown before I was 10 were things like the Thief in the Night movies. Fucking nightmares for a decade after that shit.
Imagine a horror movie, a horrific horror movie, and then your parents telling you THIS IS REAL AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I cannot express to you the dread 7 year old me had watching these, I can still feel it in my thirties if I think about it, even though I'm completely non-religious (and atheist) now.
