When my youngest sister was about 7 (18 years between us), all of the adults were watching this movie in the living room while the kids were playing outside and in the rooms with outdoor access. She came into the living room to talk to my parents about something and got terrified by the movie. She was balling and screaming while covering her ears as she continuously ran in and out of the living room while staring at the screen. She was stuck in some terror loop. Finally, my other sister just picked her up and carried her elsewhere because nobody else could stop laughing. Poor kid. She's alright now, super smart, responsible, and well adjusted. I'm sure your kid is alright.

Okay, I can imagine a 7-year old doing this and it is kinda funny. Awful (poor kiddo), but funny.

Glad she turned out okay.

Yeah, it was absurd from our perspective. We all felt bad as well, but it was just so funny at the same time.

Watch screen, I'm terrified and fear for my life due to what is on the screen, quick run to a safe adult.

Runs towards living room, safe adult is sitting right in front of the screen that is scaring me, quick run away.

Runs away, I'm scared and terrified due to what I saw on the screen, quick run to a safe adult.

Ad infinitum.
