Oh, is he not on IMDB? That's too bad. :(

I bet it WAS something like Sam watching Poltergeist when he was too young. I watched this movie once when I was really little where a whole bunch of butterflies killed a guy (weird I know), and I was afraid of butterflies after that for a while. :P

I also saw ET when I was too young for it. So, I'm suitably afraid of aliens, though that doesn't affect my day to day life at all. But to this day, I bare a grudge against Steven Spielburg and usually refuse to watch any movie that has to do with aliens.
