who was your first???

[pinkfloyd45769]

What was the first horror film you saw? Which one made you realize that you are a horror lover? Which character was your first? The one character above all others that really made horror your obsession?

[Angra]

I really don´t remember.


I´m old.:(

Puppet Master (i was 5)
Charectar(Blade)or something like that

[Elvis_Christ]

The usual suspects from the 80s: Jason, Freddy and I really dug Chucky when I was growing up cause I thought he was funny. Then later on I saw Creepers and Suspiria and was hooked on Argento which got me into weirder horror films.

[GeekLove]

Dracula-all the way. I was obsessed with vampires by the age of 4. I wanted to grow up to be a vampire. My parents would let me stay up late watching B&W horror movies with them. Vincent Price was my favorite-I remember watching all of his movies.
I've been hooked ever since.

[orangestar]

Scream

I was terrified of gore when I rented it, but from the moment I popped in this bad boy and saw Drew Barrymore gutted & hanging from a tree, I was hooked for life.

Yay for run-on sentances.

[ItsAlive75]

The title of this thread misled me.

This is false advertising, dammit.

Anyway, it started with Chucky. That cardboard stand-up in the videostores where his eyes would follow you around... scared the shit outta me.

[Pennywise8]

A Nightmare on Elm Street. But it was on TV, so it was edited. It was on Spike TV, promoting Freddy vs. Jason.

[RoLLiNLiGhTs]

Salem's Lot...I was round 7 or 8 yrs. old
Man, I still love that movie...:D

[noctuary]

The first horror movie I ever saw was the Boris Karloff Frankenstein. I remember being at my grandparents' house and sneaking out of bed to watch it on the late show. At the time, I actually expected to be scared. The one that made me a fan, however, would be Hellraiser.

[alkytrio666]

First horror movie: Bride of Framkenstein

First hook: The Shining

First loved character: Jack Torrence

[ENTITY2000]

nightmare on elm street, my mom went to the theater to see it and i was like 9 hell what year did it come out? i might have been younger neway that movie at that time scared the shit outta me!!!!!!!!

[MichaelMyers]

Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

[BexTC]

A Nightmare On Elm Street. I think I was around 7 or 8. Ever since then I have loved horror.

[Haunted]

It's a toss up between NOES or the Exoricist. I really loved Heather Langencamp/Nancy, and I was really frightened by Reagan- which is a plus.

So, I don't remember which of those two was my first. Maybe it was a cluster fuck or something.:D

[Sistinas666]

My first was The Shining. Of course my parents told me I couldn't watch it so I snuck out of bed late one night and it happened to be on. Of course I watched it and was scared shitless(I was around 5). I've been hooked on horror ever since!

[ferretchucker]

The earliest I remember was Halloween, but I think there might have been glimpses of a few others before that.

[ChronoGrl]

In terms of what really got my hooked...

Tie between the Alien in Alien and Mike Myers in Halloween.

[Despare]

What got me hooked on horror?

Thriller

Seriously...

[johnbrown]

I watched Ring 1 and 2. It was really horrible to watch alone

[Jokuc]

The first one? Oh.. I know exactly what it was.. I did not really watch it but.. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I do have a bad memory but I remember this so well because I've talked about it so much when I grew up haha. Oh that day made me love horror. So I'll do this little story here hehe :p

I was about 5 or something and I remember dad said he was going to watch a movie I could not see. I became quite upsaid and I went to my room and had some fun with my Rubik's Cube. (I never been that kind of person who sleep alot, eaven when I was like 1,2.) Then I remember I set my alarm clock to wake me up at midnight. I went to bed and then slept for some hours. When the alarm went off I went to our tv, and then I started the "movie" (Actully an episode but whatever) :

So this happend:
1.Music
2.I wait
3.Camera going up to a castle...
4.I wait
5.Open door
6.down the stairs
7.open door
8.down the stairs agin
9.into a last door
10.around the corner
11.camera at a chest
and then... ..."WAAAHHHHH!" ,scary looking skull girl jumped up!, I got so scared so I almost got a heart attack :D Then the titles..:

TALES FROM THE CRYPT

I thought her damn voice was so scary so I just watched the first four mins. Then I went to my bed agin FRIGHTENED! haha
But that was the start of a newborn friendship haha :p

*TRUE STORY*

Now I have watched almost all episodes of it and I think some of them are pretty damn good :)

But because I did not watch the episode, I have to say that the first horror movie I actully watched..
..was Alien.
..So I guess that's it :D

[FreddyMyers]

Dont remember how old i was but me and my father watched Batman followed by The Shining at a drive in movie theatre. Batman actually scared me more than the Shining, but the seed was definitly planted. It was in October so the rest of the month was spent wtching Halloweens', Puppet Masters' and Tales from the Crypt.

[Jokuc]

and Tales from the Crypt.

So you have also seen it? :D
What do you think about it? I think the most of them is good
but some is just stupid :rolleyes:

[SAWfreak]

I guess it was Stephen Kings "IT" :D

[swiss tony]

I remember sneaking into my brother's room to watch the B&W double bill on channel 4 every friday night. So it was probably something like Frankenstein v Wolfman or another of those Lugosi/Karloff golden era gems

[vanlutz]

That's easy: Lon Chaney Sr's Phantom and Hunchback. Not just the movies, the man, the artist.

The first and best. Long live the KING!

[BipolarExpress]

Salems Lot - On it's original TV run

[Fearonsarms]

I'm not sure what was the first but A Nightmare On Elm Street I was so hooked on I even had a huge poster of Freddy on my bedroom door. My two older sisters got me into horror, I watched The Shining, Hellraiser, The Burning (they got a bootleg copy which missed out the end that I only finally got to see in full recently)and Amityville. That got me watching a plethora of horror but Ringu got me into foreign language cinema and The Beyond into more extreme horror.

[Fearonsarms]

Oh and I remember us all talking about Stephen King's "It" in school

[BookZombie]

I have always loved stories about the supernatural, I do not remember which movie went from being a child's movie about the paranormal or some adventure flick to being horror. I think perhaps the first real horror film I saw was The Firestarter, though it could have been some vintage black and white vampire movie to. I think I was 11 when I saw Coppola's Dracula and I think I saw Firestarter before that.

I do not think it was one character that made me love horror. I just love stories about the supernatural and such stories often are horror. Come to think about it it might be those early books and cartoons with ghost and vampire and witch characters which laid the foundation for the love I have for horror today.

That being said my earliest horror memory is from I was about a year old or so when my mother watched something with floating eyeballs, it obviously scared me, but fascinated me as well as I spoke about those floating eyeballs for years to come.

[Fearonsarms]

I saw a man's face being crushed by a lift I still to this day have no idea what film it was. Funny how a gruesome image lingers with you.

Floating eyeballs? The House Of the Katakuris?

I've been always old school about horror and as a Kid the Universal and then Hammer got me into the genre. As I got older I loved the gritty look of TCM and last house. I think I've always been a few generations behind.

As for reading I love old supernatural..I much prefer MR James/William Hope Hodgson/AC Doyle and Lovecraft to modern authors (not that I don't enjoy them too)

Me too. Love the Universal and Hammer horror films. TCM does put some good horror films on too!

I meant TCm as in Texas CHainsaw.

It's probably quite unlikely that you'll ever see TCM on TCM:)

[neverending]

I believe they HAVE shown it...

[Fearonsarms]

The horror channel showed an uncut version of I Spit On Your Grave which I believe is still banned so it wouldnt surprise if TCM was slipped onto the schedules-stranger things have happened :)

[Cradle of Death]

My 1st was probably the Return of the Living Dead
2 characters really

Being a young boy at the time, Linnea Quigley's character made me love nudity in horror movies.
Secondly, that Zombie in the basement scared the **** out of me. It haunted me for years, but at the same time I loved it.

Watched it again recently, for the 1st time in around 20 years. This time around it's just laugh out loud funny. Great to rekindle my affection for Linnea also

[Fearonsarms]

Classic flick that hellraiser I also adore Hellbound the sequel I think it is very underrated. I think after that it went downhill though.
