Childhood movie experiences....
 

Have any?Mine was when i went to go see The Lost World:Jurassic Park,my step-dad was really excited.He's like "Are you ready to go buddy?!?!"And im like "okay...:Then when we get to the theater we walk in and say"You better buy me a popcorn or im gonna stab you."




Anyone else have any like this?

I don't understand your story. Whom did you threaten to stab?

My step-dad.

I've posted this a few times here but I'll tell it again since it fits the topic.

When I was young we had something that doesn't exist any more: a neighborhood theatre. With one screen. Every Saturday I would go to the matinee. Admission was $1.25 and for that you got a double feature with cartoons, old newsreels, serials and prizes.

This is how I saw a lot of great movies: all the Corman films, all the Hammer films, all the AIP stuff- even sometimes old WB classics. There would be comedies, Disney kid flicks, westerns, action movies, but my faves were always the horror films.

One time I even won an Ed "Big Daddy" Roth Weirdohs model kit!

These were great times. It's too bad there's nothing like it today.

We also had a Cinerama theatre in our town- a full 180 degree screen. I saw 2001 there on its initial release, and that's the ONLY way to really see it. The space scenes just wrapped around you... indescribable.

I'm confused. Dantes' Infrerno, you were going to stab your step-dad with a bucket of popcorn??? Just kidding.

I didn't go to the cinema much when I was a kid, but I did rent a lot of movies. I remember sitting on my own watching Stephen King's IT, and almost shitting myself. I thought that Pennywise was a scary motherfucker when I was younger.

I always had a pocket knife.But i was just being a smart ass when i told him that.

I grew up in a small town that didn't have a cinema, but sometimes a moviw would travell through small towns. One time when I was pretty young Teen Wolf played at the Town Hall, My parents took me, and when I got home I went in the bathroom and it was the first time I realy noticed my k9's. I was stareing in the mirror, thinking I was about to turn into a werewolf... It freaked me out a bit...

Not sure if I ever posted this story here before, but even if I did, it has been awhile so why not....

When I was about 8 or so, A Nightmare On Elm Street was showing at a local drive in, in Atlanta. I was already a monster movie fan by then. I don't think my parents knew how graphic the movie was...LOL...but they never really censored me TOO much, as long as they were watching with me, could talk to me if I got scared, or had questions, etc.

So I am in the car with my parents, watching ANOES.....my dad kept asking me....."are you okay? do we need to go?" Of course, I'm tough right? So I say "I'm FINE dad...." geez.....:rolleyes: ;) Well, you know the scene in the bathtub? That was my undoing....I think it was about 25 minutes in. I looked at my dad and said "we have to go NOW." And my dad looked at my mom, "yes, we need to go now".....and that was my first big screen horror experience.....:p And it is one of my favorite movies ever, because it was one of about 4 movies that scared the living hell outta me. ;)

I love that particular scene. I got suspended from school once, when my art teacher saw me drawing a number of pictures involving Freddys claw appearing between Nancys legs as she lay in the bath-tub.
