I can't remember how old I was but I'm pretty sure it was the Exorcist or the Omen. Both of them scared the shit out of me...

5,puppetmaster

Somewhere 'round 4-5. Lugosi's Dracula

About 8 and it was The Abominable Dr.Phibes. Yikes what an intro!:eek:

One of my absolute favorite films of all time! Good job

i was 5 when i watched hellraiser, holy crap, seeing franks skin on the floor, gave me nightmares for 2 weeks

Same Here! Good Job!

I think mine was the Fog or the Birds or something like that when i was about 5 or 6. Then i got introduced to NOES around the same time

i dont know if it was the first ... maybe the 1st i saw in a theatre .. but it was the british horror anthology Tales From the Crypt (1972) which would put me at 11 years old.
it scared the living shit out of me. I actually told my friend i had to go to the bathroom and stayed in the lobby (for the blind man and the walls full of razorblades sequence.)

I still remember how this movie nearly gave me a heart attack.
I own it now ... i had to see it again years later and although i've seen hundreds worse (if i saw it now for the 1st time it would be laughable) but it still stirs that old feeling.

I remember when i stopped being afraid .. we went to an all night drive in .. a horror marathon that included Dawn of the Dead and The Prowler, the origional TCM, among others.
The first movie scared me, the second not so much ... and by the last movie i was having a laugh. I was probably 18 or 19 at that time.

Probably "The Blob" starring Steve MeQueen when it was in first run!

I know when I was just a tyke the parental units took me to the drive-ins [ are there any left? ] to see The Wolfman 1966....that was probabaly my first horror movie.....I guess I was about 8. But the first one to give me nightmares was The Shuttered Room...1967...with Gig Young...surely you people remember Gig Young. It wasen't even really a horror movie but something about it just kinda stuck and creeped into my dreams.

NOTLD.

probably 4-6, or somewhere in there...

it was only a scene, but it was from The Gate. when the monster thingy moves through the walls and makes the bumps, then when the kid gets out of his bed and the hand shoots out and grabs him

i didn't want to sleep in my room for months heh. scared the shit outta me

It was one of the Friday the 13th moves i don't recall whice but I was 3 or 4. my mom was all into horror then and exposed me as soon as she could.

i was four or five when i saw halloween for the first time.

that was touching .. very heart warming.

my kid's 4, i guess i should get him the faces of death DVD box collection for xmas this year.

This post is proof for all of you that are against the flaming of n00bs. This guy was flamed, but he stuck around. He's one of the best posters on here. Proof that the [many] that leave, only leave because they suck. He wanted to like it here, so he stayed. Take that!

The first Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street 4 when I was 8 or 9. Fuck that was ages ago I feel real old now :(

Not that young. I was 8 and saw Westworld. My brother made me watch it.

Hmm, am I the the one who discovered horror the oldest ??
I was 13 and a friend of my brother's called him up and told us to come over, 'cos he had a couple of movies we should definitely watch : Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead...

That camera moving through the woods absolutely terrified me and Dawn... kind of disgusted me, but I was definitely hooked for life.

Just as an aside : I wouldn't let my kid watch the movies I do. I mean... Friday the 13th at 3/4 ??:eek: She likes shark movies, though, except "Jaws 2", which doesn't have enough action.:D

no, i wouldnt let my kid watch horror movies at a young age.
its fucking rediculous. Ours is 4.
My kid loved dinosaurs but we wont let him watch jurrasic park unless we're there to fast forward through the scary parts.

i think by 13 you should have developed a decent understanding of reality vs fantasy. And hopefully wont end up with nightmares.
Kids up to 10 years old act out the shit they see on tv .. ninja turtles, batman, etc. I dont want to watch my 4 year old try to saw the head off his buddies.

It's so hard to say, because horrific images permeate our media. But I remember something I saw at an early age (six or seven) that I thought was really messed up: "The Thing That Couldn't Die."

This was a movie about some people on a farm who are dowsing for water and come across an old box buried in the dirt. The box contains the severed head of a warlock! And it's STILL ALIVE!!!! And if you look into its eyes, it hypnotizes you! It wants the people on the farm to help it get back together with its body, which is buried somewhere else...it starts to control the people, one by one.............

This movie had a seriously palpable feeling of supernatural dread. I mean, you could feel the head's evil influence. I haven't seen it in years, and maybe it is a much tamer film by today's standards, but MAN, it was really messed up back then. Supposedly this was done on MST3K, but I think they ruined what is basically a good low budget flick.

I totally agree with you. My kid loves dinosaurs too, but Jurassic Pak is still too much for her. And it's so clear that words like "dead" and "kill" do not have the same significance to her, as if they're just phases that you go through, and live on afterwards. But this is a very complicated issue and I wouldn't wanna spoil the thread.

;)

hell yeah, we dont want to let any morality leak out and get on anyone :)

I was 4, and the movie was Halloween... I've been addicted since:D

another great story ..

halloween at age 4.

nice fucking parents

Halloween back in 1932

Geez you think that was an intro? lol I was like 7 and I watched Jack Frost- the homocidal one! Damn movies with the same titles!

My mom said.......Don't answer the phone, I was about 4 when I started.

but really 3,Child's Play and my cousin who's house i went over all the time always had a my buddy doll sitting on his couch and my parents called me Mikey when i was little and the part where Chucky yelled "HI MIKEY!" really scared me when i was little

I loved Child's play when I was little, When I was like 5 or 6 I dressed up as chucky. I looked great.......I still want a My Buddy Doll but everytime I see one it' the bride of chucky one. That one sucks.....

Wolfman,6

The first horror movie I watched was when I was twelve. It was the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I don't mean like right when it came out, but I watched it in the mid 80's somewhere, because the third one came out and I thought it looked cool, so I rented the first two. Damn the third one sucked...

I saw Friday The 13th part 2 in the movie theater when I was six or seven with my dad, he was a big fan of horror movies...he didn't want to take me but I begged and begged and begged until he did...I remember sitting in the theater watching it being scared shitless, but at the same time I thinking it was cool as hell..

Then we got a VCR a year or two later and I used to get my dad to take me to the local video store every chance i could to rent a horror flick...that also remeinds me of how much I miss mom and pop video stores...Some of you younger kids may not remember any of these since we live in the world of Blockbusters...

I remember you used to be able to go in our local video store and find just about damn near any horror movie you could think of...

Can't do that these days, you have to sift through all of the bullshit hollywood new horror films to even find maybe a copy of something decent...

God damn I hate Blockbuster, damn the man...:mad:

the one near me is pretty good

i remember the mom and pop places well..

the ones in my home town subscribed to a service where the movies would be recycled on a regular basis and the stuff they were send was often bottom of the barrel grade Z crap ... the stuff I loved.
Luckily i either taped it all (onto beta) or bought it - and thats why i have some of the funkiest old unheard of movies ever.

actually now that i think about it i saw the Exorcist when i was 5 and i saw Halloween the same day because it was Halloween and my dad took me to a video store went to the horror section and told me to pick out something that i thought was scary and i got The Exorcist,Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street pretty good for a five year old.
