Probably Child's Play. It scared the hell out of me and gave me nightmares. Nothing scared me more then Chucky as a kid. That's probably why its my favorite horror movie now.

The first three are the only goods ones. The fourth tried to add comedy and the fifth was almost a parody of the other ones. It was all comedy.

Another memory i have of is waking up one morning, turning on the tv and The Gate was playing. That didnt scare me but i really liked it and its a fond memory of mine.

Also my brother used to watch Tremors all the time and i would watch that with him. I love that movie.

There used to be double bills on BBC2 every friday night when I was a kid. First film was always an old (mostly Universal) horror film. Second was an older colour one, often AIP or Hammer but other odd stuff showed up..

I remember the Lon Chaney Werewolf films really well - He was my fave when I was a kid. I usually fell asleep for the second film (I was 5 or 6) but I do remember the gorey opening scene for Superbeast.

When Jaws came out in the cinema (I was 6) - it chnaged my life. I was shark obsessed. I collected bookson em and knew a million facts about them. The Hammerhead is still my fave. I wanted to be a Marine Biologist too..

Weirdly I didn't find it scarey with the exception of BEN GARDENERS HEAD STRAIGHT OUTTA NOWHERE...It made me fascinated with sharks though.

The Devil Rides out scared the bejaysus out me as a kid though.
