For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.

At age 8 Critters. I couldn't go to the toilet alone for weeks after seeing once come out of the toilet. It's a PG too!

For reference I'd already watched exorcist by that age as my cousin and I snuck the copy out of my uncle's video shop. Exorcist didn't bother me anywhere near as much!

Critters or Ghoulies? Never watched the latter but the vhs tape cover had one coming out of the toilet:

I never watched Ghoulies, but I'll never forget walking through the rental store and the box was eye-level with tiny kid me. Scarred me pretty bad. After that I was terrified of flushing the toilet, so toilet lid always had to be down and as soon as I flushed I would run from the bathroom.

Took me probably twenty years to completely get over it.

The shot of the guy getting run over by the critter ball in Critters 2 definitely stayed with me.
