The Birds is the movie that made a lot of boomers and Gen Xers afraid of flocking birds. Jaws may have made some people afraid of the ocean, but I don't know to what extent this is true. Can you think of any other movies or shows that ruined a good thing for a lot of people?

Hmmm, guess there weren't that many. That's a good thing.

@APBBlue Lol, I never heard of that. I know some people are afraid of heights and elevators, but I don't think that's pop culture-related.

@Fragglemuppet Were people afraid of skyscrapers after "The Towering Inferno"?
(I remember really liking that movie when I was, like, 10 and had no taste.)

@Fragglemuppet I just looked it up. 1974. Had a pretty impressive cast! (I think I saw it when it made it to TV, because I wasn't even born yet in 1974.)

@APBBlue I was an outcast even as a kid because I only liked to watch things exclusively targeted to kids, lol.

@Fragglemuppet I should rewatch it and see exactly how bad my 10-year-old movie tastes were, haha.

@APBBlue Most kids were all about the horror and action movies and were in competition for who would be the first to see an R movie.

@Fragglemuppet Oh god, I was the total opposite. I'd stay up every Friday night to watch 20/20. 🤣
