What was the first horror movie you've ever seen?
 

The first movie I've ever seen was Exorcist, I was 5, to this day it still scares the crap out of me!!

I believe mine was Bride of Frankenstein, or at least that is my earliest memory.

The first movie I remember seeing is Child's Play, and I had a My Buddy doll that looked just like Chuckie. After watching it, I threw him in my sister's closet so that if it did come alive it wouldn't get me first.;)

War of the Colossal Beast - it excited me so much I begged to be allowed to stay up & watch it. Hooked on horror ever since.

the first monster I fixated on was The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and that was when I was a toddler, but the first movie I remember really fucking me up was The Blob which I saw on the 4 O'Clock movie when I was 5 years old.

Fright Night, House or Friday The 13th. Can't remember which one I saw first but it was one of those.

THE RAVEN with Lugosi and Karloff, stands out as a very early one. As does THE DEVIL RIDES OUT with scared the shit ou of me..

When I was younf the station BBC2 used to have a regular Friday night horror double bill. The first fil was usually a Universal film or an old B/W from around the 40s. The second was usually a colour one - often a Hammer film though I do remember SUperBeast being shown which I've never seen since..

Unfortuanally I used to fal asleep before the 2nd film started and I'd wake in my own bed pissed off I missed the Horror of Dracula or something similar :-)

Dracula (1931, Bela Lugosi)

House. I still remember watching it, I was like 5 or 6 years old. I had nightmares about that chopped up fat ghost lady for months. I watched it again recently and laughed because of how funny it was that that movie scared the bejesus out of me.

I'm not sure ..

when i was a kid my uncle and i used to watch the monster movie matinee that was on every saturday afternoon. Saw a lot of old B&W movies that scared the crap out of me then - would find them laughable now.

King Kong VS Godzilla was probably the 1st one in a theatre - more sci-fi i guess.

The Norliss Tapes (TV movie) was an early memory ..

Tales From the Crypt was an early one - in the theatre - and that one scared me so bad i went to the lobby and waited for it to finish.

funny to imagine it now :)

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)

I think "The Wolfman" 1941

The one that scared the shit out of me was "The Shutterd Room" 1967

I don't remember the name but.my dad said I cried when the Dinosuar fell into the fire.It was black and white.There were other monsters in it too i think.Anyone know what it is?I was 4 maybe 5 when I watched it.


Mysterious Island.I was I was talking about.But the first horror movie i remember watching is Puppet Master when I was 4

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

And hooked.

Saw it in the theater, didja? ;)

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.

Can't remember the first one - too long ago!

That's a pretty kickin' banner in your signature, hammerfan!

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

WHY YOU.......Is it time for a spanking again?

For me it was either Creature From The Black Lagoon, or Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, I used to get them from the library.

My mom would never let me watch horror movies so I had to sneak watching Scream when I was ten or eleven. It's pathetic how scared I was. I was up the whole night drawing escape plans for myself if a serial killer came in the house. But I've been hooked on horror ever since.

mmmmmmmmmm... Pretty please? :D

Thank you, alky! ferretchucker did it for my birthday!

I feel like I should know who's on it and/or what movie it's from... :o

Halloween.

That was a joke, right?

You don't recognise Peter Cushing & Chris Lee???

..................................... :o

That's bad! You should definitely be spanked! Where's urge?

I believe it was the PG-13 rated "The Gate" when I was at or a little younger than 4 or 5. The eyeball in the hand scene scared the fucking shit outta me! I've gotta watch that fucker again. :)

ah!
 

I remember sneaking onto the staircase when I was like 5 yrs old or something to watch "The Bad Seed". My parents didn't want me to watch but I did anyway...heheh...

Let me see. I do have memories of certain ones I saw waaaaaaay back.

I remember something with dinosaurs fighting each other. But this was such a long time back, I am not sure what the dinosaurs looked like. But the image of it was scary to me!

And I remember seeing some of the 1931 "Frankenstein" and noting what the inside of Frankenstein's la-BOR-atory looked like.

The Blob (1956) on T.V. with my grandmother, when I was 5....way back in 1980. :eek:

The film that made me fall in love with the genre...JC's Halloween @ the age of 10. (I have cool parents)

happy birthday ronnie '

I never accepted any b/day invites for awhile after seeing that :o

my earliest horror memory is of my uncle screening a copy of "i was a teenage werewolf" when i was maybe four or five.
i was hooked. i remember loving it and asking him for more.
then came the universal classics, halloween, night of the living dead, etc.

The Killer Shrews. (1959)

Watching the black guy getting killed, the shrews scratching through the walls and the barrel escape with all those sharp teeth scared the hell out of me as a child. Saw the movie on DVD recently and laughed my ass off at the simplicity of it all.

my first that i can actually remember that made me love horror was A Nightmare On Elm Street when i was 7

The Creature From The Black Lagoon

Nuff' Said.

Ok, so you know what's funny? My boyfriend is a horror fan and I told him that I couldn't identify Peter Cushing and Chris Lee which, of course, made him laugh incredulously, "You don't know the stars of HAMMER FILMS?!"

...

And now I know where hammerfan's Screen Name comes from. heh. :o

It's all falling into place.



SMRT.

I'm speechless, utterly speechless! :D
