"Codex Seraphinianus"
mom told me not to read it, coz you literally can't read it..
I wasn't personally stopped; but when I was a child I heard a minister tell his congregation that salvation was not possible for anyone who has seen the movie: The Last Temptation of Christ.
During morning prayers at high school, our principal told us never to listen to "Lola" by the Kinks because it would turn us into sodomites.
I was not banned from anything, though when I was 3 or 4, the maniacal laughter on The Laughing Policeman freaked me out and sent me running and crying from the house whenever it was played.

@Alembe: the maniacal laughter on The Laughing Policeman
I loved that song when I was a tot. But I was traumatized and suffered recurrent nightmares for a while after seeing my first Micky Mouse cartoon. It was the giant mouse face that popped out on the screen at the start of the movie that spooked me. A talking, bipedal mouse with big eyes just ain't natural!
@Algebe,
Who says there are no demons? If popular culture could do that to young minds, no wonder a concerted effort to make Satan real has served christianity so well.
One real demon I recall was a primary school teacher telling his 10 y.o. charges that listening to Beatle music would deliver them to the Devil.(circa 1964) His work for the church went unheralded.
I grew up in the sixties. The only book banned to me was Playboy!
