i used to see the old b&w horror films thay'd show on saturday afternoons on TV ..
Dr Horrors Mansion of terror - or some such thing - where some local TV host would dress up and introduce these films ..
i was probably 10 or 12 and they scared the shit out of me..
(i used to watch them with my unkle at my grandmothers house after baseball)
the 1st one i saw at the theatre was Tales Fron the Crypt - a uk horror compilation (like creepshow) and it scared me so bad i went into the lobby 1/2 way through.
i was probably 13 - 15
i never saw anything again for years - until i was around 17 - 18 when i went with some friends to an all night horror marathon at a drive in and saw for the 1st time - dawn of the dead, texas chainsaw massacre, the prowler, High Risk (not a horror) and a couple of others i cant remember..
i went from being terrified - to laughing myh ass off as the night progressed ..
i wasnt afraid of any movie after that ..
