I’ve never even seen those movies, but replacing the garbage disposal with a normal P-trap was one of the first things I did when I bought my house. I’m not even particularly scared of them; I just think they’re kinda gross.
Comment on The movie came out 21 years ago, and I still think of it frequently when I drive.

It was like the 2 seconds I saw of the movie as a kid and it instilled a healthy fear of garbage disposals every since.

It just seems like the rubber flaps at the top are often kinda grimy.

I mentioned the movies that gave me those particular movie induced fobia.
