I was 4 when my father took me to see THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN. Don't ask me why he did such a thing -- some might say it was a classic case of bad parenting -- but I think I just have a really cool dad. :)
In any event, I haven't been the same since.
Not long after that, when I was 5 or so, my parents took me to the drive-in (remember those?) to see the original HALLOWEEN.
My God, it scared the hell out of me. But I loved it. And now it's one of my favorite horror films of all time.
