It took me decades to get over the shower scene from Psycho (was that the name of that movie?).

I too can't watch horror films, watch the news....I get these images in my head which won't leave or I just get so profoundly sad. I recall one time, my DH, then my boyfriend, went to the video store to rent Babe Pig in the City, which I wanted to watch. He came back with "Reservoir Dogs" by Quinton Tarantino. I was doing OK until the torture scene. At that point, I ran from the room crying "But I wanted to watch Babe Pig in the City!!!!!"
