I kid you not, the first thing to unsettle me in my childhood was in The Simpsons. And it was the episode where Homer had a hair transplant from the executed Snake Jailbird and proceeded to go on a murder rampage. I think it was a Treehouse of Horror episode, but I'm not entirely sure.
I mean...sweet baby Jiminy H. Cricket. Of course it's all fine and silly now, but for a three/four year old? It didn't give me nightmares or scare me deeply, but it was certainly enough for my first big "nope nope nope nope!"
Though, I think Moe's murder was the thing that scared me most of all.
And I only just remembered it recently. I don't know how I ended up watching it, but I do remember seeing it for the first time.
It's certainly not my "Rosebud", that's for sure, but it's up there in suppressed memories.
