How Old Were You When You Saw Your First Horror Movie
I was six when Ifirst saw Christopher Lee in Dracula on TV .The first time Iwas genuinely scared by a film was when Iwas 8 in 1975. My Dad let me have an afternoon off school and he took me to see JAWS. I will never forget the experience as for it's time and considering my age JAWS was an amazing film. The sheer terror of the opening sequence, the jump out of your seat moment of the head in the sunken boat and the gruelling demise of Quint have lived with me ever since. The only other film to have such an effect on me was The Exorcist which I saw when Iwas 15 in a virtually empty cinema on a particularly horrible winters night.
