Cast your mind back...Your First Memory of a Horror Film & The First horror you saw?

Looking back - way back...I'm thinking my first memory of a horror film was an advertisement around the year '85 (which would make me 6 yrs old then) and I saw a trailer (through my dads fingers which were supposed to be covering my eyes!) on TV advertising a film which if I remember correctly was called 'The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb'...it showed a camera shot of the mummy's fingers wriggling as the corpse gained consciousness and to be honest terrified the shit out of me.

Not too many years later when I was around the age of 9 my first ever horror film and still a present day favourite was 'The Lost Boys'. Not scary but it was still an exilarating watch. Had me glued to the screen and from then on...my love of all things horror had started. Now I'm just plain fanatical hehehehe.

Blood slowly runs down my chest,Mezmerized by my pale skin yet you look impressed.
You raise the knife above my chest,Wispering words to my heart of theft.Welcome to the my world,The blade of that knife is the last thing my heart held.

I found a cache of old EC Comics (Haunt of Fear, Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt) an a few Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines in my Uncle's closet when I was 5 or 6.

Instantly scared and instantly hooked.

...and nothing was going on in the closet, I swear...honest...no touching

As ive said several times before: Alien. Walked in on all the good gory parts when i was 5.


After that, Horror movie trailers scared the hell outta me. The creepshow trailer gave me nightmares.

When i was 8 i saw the comic book based on the movie, which was even worse. i can remember vividly staying up at night, afraid to move after reading "the Crate"


the twilight zone movie screwqed me up pretty good too. terror at 30,000 feet was the worst, followed by the one with th ekid who got whatever he wanted. His mouthless sister terrified me.

LOL!

That was terrible....

Why didnt you list one newb?

It doesnt have to be a movie.... I know Edison hadn't filmed "Frankenstein" yet, but Poe had just written some good stuff when you were a kid.


:D

I hear before he worked for John landis, he was a cut above the rest.

he was a cut up though. he slayed those kids and had them rolling.
