As an eight year old when this film came out, I adored Aughra and Kira's dog, yet many things about this film unnerved m

yeah in the beginning when you see the castle the lightning sounds were very scary.

Well I wasn't around when the film came out but boy When my mum first introduced it to me, I swear I was a fan right away. But what disturbed me most about the film is probably what freaked everyone else out - Kira wasn't my favourite, but I nearly squirmed when that purple beam of light hit her.
But watching the Skeksis tear apart one of their own kind - with the most amazing and appropriate score by Trevor Jones - was really unnerving. If only the sequel was still underway I was looking forward to seeing just what new disturbing imagery they had to offer on a silver platter.
BUT- What do you think? Now, crush me with your rebuttles!! -

personally, I lost it at the death of the Skeksis. when he just seemed to crumble into the bedshudders
I didn't watch it again for about 12 years when it became one of my first DVDs. I was probably 20 at the time. lol. -

I just watched it today for the first time in about 20 years and while I still think it's very weird and demented lol it's cool in it's own unique way. I like it but at the same time don't have a desire to watch it repeatedly. The only part that really disturbed me as a kid was the draining of their essence and drinking it, lol I remember thinking it was gross and the look on their little faces while being drained was a little horrifying. As an adult watching it now nothing bothers me but I still think it's really weird, it's definitely original.
