Oh, MAN this is a good question, but a tough one too... My dad was always into the old scifi films, so I saw a ton of those with him when I was younger.

Though the first movie that I remember scaring the HELL out of me...

Carnival of Souls.

Psycho was also an early horror experience, though I still think that Carnival came first...

Other movies that creeped me out when I was younger:
  • The Thing From Another World (1951)
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
  • The Invisible Man (1933)
  • The Wolf Man (1941)
  • The Haunting (1963)
  • House on Haunted Hill (1959)

A certain movie called Evil Dead, back in 1986. Barely 3 years old, and I was totally fascinated.

And hooked.

I remember, back then, my Dad renting 2 movies...for the new VHS player he had bought.

The first one was Disney's Jungle Book, which I loved a lot (still love it). The other one, was Evil Dead. He made me go to bed before starting it, but I snuck back out (can you blame me for being totally fascinated by our new player?) and watched it behind the living room door.

A couple months later, he took me to watch Alien in the theater. And I loved that too. He noticed that I absorbed such horrific imagery calmly without flinching, and I guess he knew rightaway that I would be a serious horror buff.

Nightmare on Elm St is the one I can remember, but I have been told I watch most of the universal monster films before that
