obscure stuff you saw as a kid that you can't figure out why is stuck with you forever (1 Viewer)

As a kid I watched some movie where cockroaches were coming out of lava filled cracks in the earth as if from hell. The cockroaches were somehow intelligent and teamed up to kill people. I don't remember the movie name but I can't get that shirt out of my head and is the cause of my deathly fear of cockroaches.

Watched a bunch of movies as a kid where various animals were portrayed as evil killers but none of them caused the same lasting fear.
Fair enough but there's also plenty of other reasons to have a fear of cockroaches that didn't come from a movie.
 
As a wee lad.........probably not even yet in kindergarten......but it's hard to say, since it's not easy to place certain memories from that part of life into any sense of chronological order....

But I distinctly remember being put to bed in my parents' room by the babysitter......and she asked if I wanted the radio on. I said yes because I myself had no radio by my own bed, and I'd never been asked anything like that before.

She cuts it on.......and I don't remember if this part was relatively immediate, or if it was after a period of time of just laying there in the dark...........but at some point, the Phil Collins song "One More Night" came on and I can remember really enjoying the sound of it.

To this day, that song sounds absolutely amazing to me.

I distinctly remember not being deathly afraid of cockroaches before this movie. Before the movie it was just an icky, nasty bug. But not something that would cause me to run out the house screaming like a serial killer was after me.
 
Laverne and Shirley, especially the theme song...

“Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated! .... We’re gonna do it!!!”
