Was anybody else forced to watch this movie as a kid? I was reminded this morning of watching it in Sunday School when I was about 6 or 7. It traumatized my brother and he had nightmares for years.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My family never spent much time with the television, we were too busy having a life, doing fun things, being active, etc. TV was never pushed, so I can't relate to a lot of television-type questions, especially if it was a movie shown during a church service. I stopped going to church when I was in first grade, so I never saw that movie.
I did watch a movie that had swarms of bees - against my mother's advice - and I had nightmares from that. Probably because I had been attacked by a hive of yellow-jackets, and the movie triggered the horror...

Can't say that I was. But we watched our Dad's surgery films (he was a surgeon and would have colleagues over to watch films of surgeries to discuss procedures) and we were allowed to watch slasher horror movies since age 4 or 5. So, probably nothing would traumatize us.

Watching movie about surgery is a completely different genre than is a slasher movie, I can't relate the two at all! There are a few medical people in my family (ENT & radiology), so bodily stuff and medical stuff was never an issue, but gory films are not entertaining or educational!
@Rustee They are not the same, no, (and they are filmed surgeries not films about surgeries; I see those as different). It’s just that those films contain blood and body parts most kids don’t see. But neither bothered us one bit. My parents didn’t care if we watched them. We also watched martial arts movies and war movies where people were killed, maimed, badly beaten up, blown up, etc. People being murdered in the streets, blown up to pieces, tortured and maimed, that’s all reality happening out there everyday where we grew up.
Also had to watch numerous "duck & cover" movies, complete with actual A-bomb testing footage, and one about living "happily" in an iron lung. ( for after you get polio)
These are all available on YouTube, should you feel a need to traumatize yourself......
