My First Scare Movie
 

I was 12 and it was Humanoids from the Deep (it was rerunning on HBO and I was at a friends house). Sacred the crap out of me (the humanoid baby delivering seen was the worst). :bolt:

Carrie. I was 7 I think. maybe 8. my brother, who enjoyed damaging me, brought me into the living room when he was babysitting me (14) and let me watch it with him. I had nightmares for years.

I was 8, 9 years old and I must give credit to two. JAWS and Grizzly.


I still don't act right.

Jaws wasn't my first scary movie but it was the one that had the most effect on me. I never looked at the water in the same way again. But thankfully in a couple of years the fear part died down and my curiosity and interest was peaked and that eventually evolved into a deep love and respect for the ocean and everything in it.

I have no segue that works so I'll just say speaking of scary movies, my son (my ex gave birth to him but were together when she did so he is mine to me) who was about 2 ½ at the time, was sleeping and we were watching one of the many Friday the 13th movies, I don’t remember which one but it was during a particularly bloody part when I heard this little voice say “Ooo, mess”. I turned and there he was staring at the screen, absolutely mesmerized. He had gotten up and neither of us heard him. I scooped him up and carried him back to bed agreeing with him all the while. Yes, sweetie such a mess. They’ll clean it up I’m sure. He seemed comforted to hear that. He was always a very neat kid.

A couple of years later when he was about 4 I rented the movie Labyrinth (not a horror movie) to watch with him. He loved it. We had a great time watching it together. The next day when I went to pick him up after work at his daycare, the administrator called me in to tell me he had been acting very aggressively all day. I asked what he was doing and she told me he kept trying to pull the heads off of the other kids.

Never saw that coming.

If you ever saw Labyrinth you know there are characters in the story, Fireys, with detachable body parts who try to pull the head off the main character. Who would’ve figured he’d focus on that?

The Sir Graves Ghastly Show
 

There isn't anything quite like the B horror flick on a Sunday afternoon.

Not sure what the VERY first movie was. My youth is a blurry vision of Wes Craven, Scott Cunningham, Clive barker and like director/writers. I can remember as early as around 4/5 and watching Stephen King movies. Its a toss up between Hellraiser, Child's Play or the Blob. Regardless, my tormented youth has truly shaped me into the twisted person I am today.

Friday the 13th when I was 5 or 6 years old. My cousins were staying over and they were watching it so I wanted to watch it with them. I just remember that I watched it, but nothing about that particular experience.

Around the same age though I saw Stephen King's IT and it scared the shit out of me. To this day I'm shit scared of clowns lol

They ALLLL float down here Gemme....

'The Shining' when I was 7, and my Uncle Steve (a teenager and my babysitter) told me that I looked just like the ghost girls and that I must have an evil twin ghost sister living in the house. :|

I had 'big-wheel on the patterned carpet' nightmares for years!

hmmm thats easy it was poltergiest and I was 5 yrs old and I constantly even now cry my eyes out when they push the tv out the motel room ... I dont know why but I have been doig it since I was 5 lol we all knew I was a lil odd though lol

I don't remember the first scary movie I saw but the first one that I do remember was Last House On The Left. We saw it at a drive-in, I was about 13 or 14 and it scared the beejezus out of me. To this day, I am not a fan of slasher type movies.

Clown alert!!!!!!
 

<shivers> it was even scarier in my mind....the book FAR surpasses the movie...over 1000 pages...I read it in under 2 weeks...mostly during high school biology lol Poor Mr Moge....

My first scary movie was Salem's Lot. I was terrified something was going to be tapping on my window after that.....

First scary movie was A nightmare on Elm Street. I love scary movies!! :byebye:

The first scary movie was Alien and I loved it. I was 7 I think.
The first movie that really scared me was House on Haunted Hill (1999), about a year later. All those preserved organs and fetus... and then I got obsessed with horror movies. :popcorn:

As kid I saw a lot of old school horror films and 1963 The Haunting gave me nightmares for weeks.I caught it on late night creature features and had to be around 7 years old.
