Scream got me interested in the genre. But I Know What You Did Last Summer nailed me. I think it was the chase scene that did it.
My "dad" made me watch Chukie when I was....6 I think. I was interested in horror books after that (because my mom didn't let me watch horror movies at that age obviously) and I read I know what you did last summer, Some secrets never did ("I still know what you did last summer).
So once I was allowed to watch movies again I watched IKWYDLS and the sequel and well...i was dissapointed.
I'm a little embarassed by the original Candyman is what really turned me into a horror freak. I think that Candyman looks like a cross between Bill Cosby (young) and OJ Simpson.

a nightmare on elmstreet was the only movie i remember seeing as a child that scared me. I was never allowed to see r movies when i was young, so i could only see them when a tv station played like a couple when halloween came around. I would tape them and watch them over and over. Thats what really made me notice i enjoyed the fear.

When I was 4 years old -- 4 years old! -- my father took me to the theater to see THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN. Don't ask me why, but I don't fault him for it. I've loved horror ever since. :)
A year later came the original HALLOWEEN, at the drive-in. I can still remember that, strangely enough. A wonderfully terrifying experience that this jaded 30-year-old horror fan wishes he could relive again and again . . . .
A few more of my very first horror flicks: John Carpenter's THE THING, POLTERGEIST, THE FOG, and THE EXORCIST.
God, I love this genre. Thanks, Dad! :)

P.S. I recently heard that THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN has now been released on DVD . . . anybody know if this is true? I haven't seen it anywhere yet, but if it is available, I *must* get it. I'm sure it's a really shitty, cheezy movie, but it'll be worth millions to me in sheer sentimental value alone, if you get what I'm saying . . . .

Hmm this is a good question since my mother was the one that rented the movies... Sleepaway camp & Pigs
I can forget Friday the 13th but the other two mentioned really interested me.. and I watched them over and over and over again.. other movies that made me really get more deep into horror is killer party, scream for help, and The Evil Dead...
after this I started branching out into horror and learning about other types of horror besides the commercialized horror released here in the U. S.
Started buying horror mags and zines and reading about Argento, Franco, Fulci, Jackson, and Lenzi .... so around the age of 11 and 12 I craved gore.. I was the only chick in school mentioning these guys names and people were like WTF??? LOL

This is a great question. The first horror film that I saw was the original Friday the 13th. I was 7 when it came out and my mom went out on a date to the drive-in so of course what do you take on a date...your two kids. I remember my mom trying to tell me and my sister to 'Just lay down back there and go to sleep'. Yeah right. That movie scared the shit out of me and I slept next to my moms bed for six months. Ever since then I have been HOOKED!
I come from devout religous family and they all used to think I was crazy, but now that I am a filmmaker they think it's great.

LOL That happens to me when I talk to my friends, they know all kinds of horror movies the backgrounds on all of the characters but they don't know shit about who makes them, they just don't take the time to look :)

Nightmare on Elm Street - I've been watching Freddy for as long as I can remember. And some other movie that I don't know the name of - all I remember was a campfire and some kid w/shitloads of maggots. I saw it again like 10 years ago, but I still couldn't even remember what the name of it was.
My dad actually got me watching horror movies. He used to get a lot of shit for it from my mom and one of his sisters who is a Christian nut. But she also used to get pissed at him for letting me watch Miami Vice as it was TOO racy.

You know, Chucky used to scare me so bad when I was little. My cousin had a doll that looked just like him and everything. He hated it. We always stuck it in the closet. When I got older though, I watched it. I realized how silly I was being. :D I really got into scary movies after that.

The Monster Squad and Silver Bullet were the first horror flicks I can remember seeing (they are the first ones I rented anyway). It's all history from there.
By the way dmihatmttl, if it's on DVD, it's not on Amazon.
