Oh and weirdly-Spontaneous Combustion-I couldnt sleep for weeks-my sisters couldnt understand how that film scared me so much when I'd seen what they thought were much scarier movies-In fact I haven't ever been able to watch it again.

alice cooper

My Dad took me to see Prince of Darkness.
I still remember exactly how seeing Alice Cooper standing there with all the bugs coming out made me feel. I was scared out of my MIND.

I saw Alice Cooper at Horrorfind Weekend a few years ago and got that same feeling when I got up to him in line. I was waiting for the roaches to start spilling out!!

I remember back when I was in elementary school everyone was saying Friday the 13th was the scariest movie ever and how Jason was real which scared the hell out of me. Anyways, it was Friday the 13th and they were airing a marathon of the movies so my brother, a friend, and I stayed up to watch one of them. We didn't get much sleep that night, especially since my backyard faces a woodland area, so we were paranoid that he was right outside the window. I look back and laugh, because I remember the feeling of being terrified and I can no longer experience that now with movies since I'm much older. Good times.

This is really showing my age, it was about 1950 or 51 Dracula and Frankenstein were playing at a drive-in in the town where we lived. I kept bugging my mom and dad to take me to see it, they finally gave in. I thought they were the greatest movies ever made at that time. Mom and Dad thought they were stupid but I have to give them credit, they stuck with them all the way through. Then about a month later The Bride Of Frankenstein came to one of the town theatres and I was able to see that on my own. After seeing that one I was in a daze for about a week after. I still think The Bride is one of the best films ever made.

I was terrified of horror movies when I was a kid and even remember calling my parents to come get me when my cousin was going to watch a horror movie while I was having a sleepover with her.

The earliest horror memory I have is seeing a movie that I'm not sure what it was and I haven't seen it since. There was some sort of goo puddle (pink, I think) in the basement of a house and I remember people either going on or coming out of the puddle. It has been suggested that it may have been one of the Amityville movies, 3D perhaps? I was not exactly a willing participant in watching that movie, but it was also at a relatives house.

The first time I chose to watch a horror movie was Child's Play. My dad was watching it and I remember sneaking in behind him and watching. I learned that day that movies weren't all that scary and I've been a fan since.

I only saw parts of those 2 movies. My first full horror movie was the original House on Haunted Hill - one of my dad's old favorites. I still have a soft spot for it to this day.

The earliest horror movie memory for me is listening to the Hitchcock's The Birds while my parents watched it on TV. The first horror movie I saw was, I think, The Beast in the Cellar.

First horror film that I ever saw was Octaman (1976) - a pretty poor film, but great to my impressionable young mind.

I really loved the Hammer films when I was growing up - there was a period when there was a Hammer or Amicus film once a week on Sydney TV, and I would always try to stay up late to watch them. Later on, the old Universal horrors were televised on a different channel on Friday nights, and I tried to catch all of those as well (or at least videotape them and watch them the next day).

The Blob was also a special film for me. I remember waking at about 3 in the morning to watch it on TV more than once.

Sneaking into the back room of my house at night when i was 10 to watch Nightmare on Elm Street<3
Thus a horror freak was born.

This was also my inspiration for getting my Freddy Krueger tattoo, and loving it ever since
