Late night on TV i think

I might have, i don't remember

I thought it was really cool and creepy and it was definitely memorable

Not as many times as i'd like to

5 - Any special memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Not really but i've also thought this was one of the best monster movies i've ever seen

1. Very recently like a few years ago. It was on cable. I don't know why I didn't watch it sooner.

2. Nope. I just knew it was a Carpenter movie and one of the best horror movies. I knew nothing going in.

3. Awesome. It wasn't a let down.

4. Tons. I'm talking hundreds. Watching or listening.

5. So many good things I use from this movie. I whistle the music. Use many of the lines. It's a movie not to be missed for horror or movie fans.

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS or DVD? VHS

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it? No

3 - How was your first viewing experience? I was pretty young and it was one of the goriest movies I had seen at the time, so I was impressed! :)

4 - How many times have you re-watched it since? Probably... about 5 times or so.

5 - Any special memories associated with it, that you wish to share? Yeah, my dad rented the movie for me, and it kind of marked the point in time where he started to accept my taste for horror.

.................................................. .................................................. .........................

1. I was maybe 9 or 10, and I saw it on TV around Hallowe'en, as I recall.

2. I don't think so.

3. Perfect. Watching this for the first time is one of those particularly special horror-related memories from when I was young. It was definitely a big part in contributing to my life-long love of horror films.

4. Countless.

5. Watching it with friends, especially if they haven't seen it before.

Certainly a very interesting movie experience. It wouldn't be wrong to say that after numerous rewatches, the film has firmly etched itself as one of my top 10 horror films of all time. One of the near-perfect remakes ever made.

Moving on...

Answers in bold

Anyone else?

1. VHS

2. I had heard plenty about it, and I remember always thinking the cover art looked so cool.

3. It was my 12th or 13th birthday, and I had a bunch of friends over. My mom let us rent a bunch of horror movies, and this was one of them.

4. A few.

5. Not really, other than that first time. It was a lot of fun watching it late at night with a group of friends. And, movie geek time, a couple of years ago I found the out-of-print Criterion DVD at a second-hand shop. Watching that with all the cool extra features was great, too.
