Both were from around 1979 or so when I was 7 or 8 years old.

That was about the age I was when I was watching a scary movie out in the garage at night. Scared the hell out of me.

But I also got freaked out about the same time watching a medical show where a girl is described as swallowing her tongue (seizure). This caused some issues with a fear that somehow my tongue was going to fly backwards and get stuck in my throat.

Yeah, as a child I got spooked by some actual "real-life" things as well. Saw something on TV around that age that I'm guessing was the removal of a bot-fly larvae from a guy's face. Got extremely anxious about every mosquito bite for quite a while after that!

What the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks is a human trafficker doing in a "family" film?

+1 to this. As someone who ingests all manner of questionable materials, parasite shows are always a tough watch. Erupting worms, I think, are top of the fear list. Not that I actively fear them here in NY, but it's still a "F#$% that" and change the channel type of situation lol

Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Not as scary as some dead guy rising from the dead like a zombie and people worshiping him. That is truly scary on so many levels. Am very glad it's just a myth from days when people didn't know any better. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

There is a scene in the 2004 Dawn of the Dead, where a full-term pregnant woman gets infected with the zombie virus. So, they shoot her, in the head as I recall. However, the unborn baby then gets infected and rips its way out of the mother's body. Despite getting an R rating, I heard they had to tone down the scene in the editing room. You hardly actually saw anything, but just the thought of it gives me the shivers.

At least the Vampire junk has a little sophistication to it. Interview With a Vampire was one of the scariest movies I ever saw. If you take a risk, you may lose.
