First Horror Movie You Seen?

[horrorwarehouse.com]

Probably been done but couldn't find any thread the same from a search.

So yeah what was the first horror movie you seen ?.

My first was A Nightmare On Elm Street when i was about 4, i was hooked ever since then as a horror movie fan. I remember seeing Just Before Dawn not long after and telling everyone in school about the "chopper man" lol.

[bamahorrorfan87]

around 91 or 92 a nightmare on elm street sure it was not the first but first i remember

[Elvis_Christ]

Fright Night

[Atraxi]

I don't remember exactly, of course, but I think it was Child's Play.

[realdealblues]

I don't really remember exactly...probably Jaws.

I do remember seeing Rawhead Rex when it came out on VHS when I was 6 or 7. My mom kept saying, "You can't let him watch that, it will give him nightmares" and my older brother and my dad saying, "he'll be ok". Either way I did have a nightmare that night about Rex chasing me and it scared the shit out of me...lol. Been a fan ever since.

When I was a kid BBC2 used to do a horror double bill every friday night - the first was usually a Universal Flick or some other b/w film and the 2nd one was often a hammer or AIP film.

I always fell asleep during the 2nd film. So I remember some old Lon Chaney jr wolfman films etc.

[newb]

This topic has been brought up before...but I can't find the thread.

anyway......The first horror movie that gave me nightmares was The Shuttered Room [1967].

also I had a mad crush on Carol Lynley when I was a wee lad.

[Nat94]

I was a major buffy fan but then I watched the excorsist at the age of 10, I know it's dated, but I was dissapointed.

[donniedarko]

The original When a Stranger Calls.
Along with 1408 the most underrated horror film ever

[Bloodwolf13]

My first real horror movie that I watched the whole thing was texas chainsaw massacre

[Fearonsarms]

I'm afraid I also can't remember but it was possibly The Amityville Horror or Amityville 2:The Possession.

[The Villain]

Tremors i think. I've loved it ever since.

If that's the film I think it is, I cried when the horse got bitten :/

[The Villain]

Pretty sure its the same. There was a horse that died

[Nat94]

Pretty sure its the same. There was a horse that died

Yep I cried.. I can't watch horrors when animals die, I cried at snakes on a plane when that bastard threw the dog to the snake..

Wow even during a dumb movie like that? You must really like animals.

[Nat94]

Not snakes, spiders, lizards, insects or anything like that though

[The Villain]

Oh just the cute ones?

[Bob Gray]

I remember back when I was a kid in the 80's, they use to have a Universal monster movie marathon every Halloween, so my first horror movie was The Mummy.

[wizard of gore]

The original When a Stranger Calls.

how old are you.......5?

[wizard of gore]

jaws i think,but the first one that scared me i think was redneck zombies,i know i know its a comedy splatter,but dumb 8 year olds dont no that,was all realistic to me ,all that guts getting pulled out and shit ,made me feel sick

[Elvis_Christ]

Haha I hated Redneck Zombies as a kid because I thought it was way to shitty and low budget. Love that kinda stuff now :D

[Nat94]

how old are you.......5?

Haha! 1408 is shit.. Not scary at all

[Elvis_Christ]

Haha! 1408 is shit.. Not scary at all

Couldn't have put it better myself :D

I'm not a fan of that one at all.

[Nat94]

Couldn't have put it better myself :D

I'm not a fan of that one at all.

I watched because ghost films normally scare me shitless because I get so into them and believe in that sorta thing, but the effects and that are so crap it's laughable.. Love Samuel L Jackson though..


Thoughts on the movie Se7en, not really a horror but good right???

[wizard of gore]

what i meant was that movie 1408 didnt come out that long ago,must be real new to horror movies or really young

[Nat94]

what i meant was that movie 1408 didnt come out that long ago,must be real new to horror movies or really young

Or was to scared to try a horror until then, bit of a pathetic horror to try,, I got what you meant though, I was just stating the obvious

[Fearonsarms]

The original The Mummy is amazing. Great film to see as an introduction to horror. I'm dumping the remake which my sister bought me in the package if I get it-don't hurt yourselves in the rush to get it off me lol

Where I grew up (also back in the 80's), we could only get 4 or 5 television stations. Every Saturday at noon, one of them played "the afternoon creature feature". All they played were the old Universal Monsters, King Kong & Godzilla. Not a bad way to grow up at all :D

When I was in grade school (in the 60s), there was a show on Saturday afternoons on one of the local stations called "Dr. Shock". He played all the old B-movies. I don't remember the first horror movie I ever saw (I'm too old to remember that far back :D), but I remember my Saturday afternoons with Dr. Shock. And the local movie theater had Saturday afternoon matinees (50 cents) that usually showed horror movies. That's where I saw "Mark of the Devil".

[The Villain]

I actually liked 1408 but saying it's the most underrated movie ever is a stretch

[Dara]

[PostalHorror]

Dog solders.
Suck out one night when i was around 6 or 7. Turned on our old tube television and pooped my pants! I remember the scene when he gets his stomach ripped open so well and i could see it in my head for days..... after that i just went ape shit for horror movies!

The 'Piss yer pants scene' isn't as traumatic for a 5 year old :-)

[Dead&Bloated]

Night of the Living Dead. Saw it when I was four and was hooked. Been watchin' horror ever since.

Great fun for all the family! lol:)

[Michael-Myers]

First one I can remember is Child's Play, to this day I still love that movie.

[flamethrower]

Children of the Corn (1984)

[MichaelMyers]

Night of the Living Dead (original).

[dhrupick]

Not really sure what the first horror movie I watched was. Maybe The Howling... The first time I ever remember being scared as a kid was watching Salem's Lot. That jail scene made for a few sleepless nights :D

[Bob Gray]

I can remember back in... well it started back in the 60's but I can remember back in the 80's, Sammy Terry and his Nightmare Theater reemerged on Channel 4 in Indianapolis then eventually fizzled out in the late 80's. I can't remember if it was Friday or Saturday night, but I do remember waiting in my bed with the lights off for my mom and dad to go to bed. As soon as my brother and I thought they were asleep, we would dial in the tv to Channel four and as soon as you heard that laugh you knew what time it was. :D

[randomgamer666]

hocus pocus or nightmare on elmstreet watched both of them on the same day

Please carry your discussion there. Let's get back to thread topic here.

[blackeyedkids]

A Nightmare on Elm Street, I think.

[arpitnigam]

one missed call

[iSeymore]

Either SCREAM (1997) or Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

[ispydork]

I saw bits of Jaws but was too scared to finish it, I also think Poltergeist might have been one of my firsts. But I don't remember exactly, it depends on what you consider horror.

[natthezombabeee]

the first horror movie I've ever seen would probably be Halloween the original. not the rob zombie one I'm not that young lol.anyway my mom always made a big deal out of Halloween at home and we would watch movie marathons together. I remember being like 10 and my dad taking me to get the second one and for whatever reason everytime id buy a copy it wouldnt work. but ever since then I've been hooked. so far Ive bought 4 different movies this week alone for my own Halloween marathon with my fiancé :3 I love halloweeeeen <3

[Gh0st]

'From Dusk Til' Dawn' when I was about 2. :') I loved that movie when I was younger I was told, cried to have it on all the time. Still love it now.. hehe. :)

[Sentinel65]

First horror movie I saw that really got me into horror was Friday The 13th. My friend and I watched it together, then proceeded to watch all the sequels and remake.

[Action Avenue]

First horror movie: The Dead Don't Die
First horror movie that actually scared me: The Exorcist

[Haze]

I always wanted to watch horror films when I was really young but wasn't allowed to for ages and we didn't get a VCR for ages either... really frustrated me not being able to watch them because of OTHER PEOPLE'S fears - not mine!

Once I started watching, there was no turning back. The more someone said something was terrifying the more I wanted to see it to see if it really was.

I think my first proper horror film was Nightmare on Elm Street... although I watched a lot around the time I started to watch horror films, so couldn't say for sure if it was definitely the first, but it was certainly one of the first.

[chrisii2012]

Im not sure what it was 100% but it had a werewof,so it may have been american werewolf in london or howling but i think it was american werewolf in london
