Social media has always been a fun place where used rightly. One can never get bored, while scrolling up to the many tweets, posts and more and stay up to date on all the latest internet buzz.

Besides, most of us have also taken a ride down the memory lane by revisiting movies, songs, books and more that we loved as a kid. We even summed up 2020 with a song!
Eric Alper tweeted, “What movie traumatized you as a kid?” It instantly went viral, with thousands of retweets and comments, with people listing the films and even sharing the exact creepy scenes that scared them.
