I'm pretty sure it was IT for me. I was 8 or 9 when it first premiered on TV. My dad watched it... and despite it scaring the heck out of me I watched most of it as well. I was already scared of clowns at that time, but IT definitely reinforced that fear and - frankly - flat out traumatized me for years. If I happened to think of it before I shower, for instance, I would shower standing as far away from the drain as possible with my eyes fixed on it. :-p Still, it was the birth of my horror fandom. We went to the library alot around that time and I started reading Stephen King. I'm honestly not a big fan of his work now, but I read ALOT of Stephen King between the ages of 8/9 and 14 or so.

Actually, I didn't watch alot of horror movies through my teens. I was a horror fan, but more when it came to fiction. It's only been in the last three or four years that I've REALLY gotten into horror cinema.

Scary or not, he was hilarious and totally entertaining in that movie. It's one of my favorites.

My first one was Hellraiser on TNT when I was like 10 or something. At least that was the first one that I can remember back to...

It scared the living crap out of me, and since that day I vowed to watch as many horror movies as I could so I wouldn't be scared of them anymore. That took a few years to do, and I ended up scaring myself shitless a few times.

i think it was called 'terror express' which starred one of (or both?) peter cushing/christopher lee with telly savalas. it concerned a creature in a crate aboard a train that apparently had come to earth thousands of years ago. this secret beast was then worshipped as satan by modern day followers. the creature's eyes glowed red if you looked directly at them, and then your eyes would turn white (roll back) and blood would stream from them. it terrified me and still sort've freaks me a little though i'm sure anyone would find it campy as hell.. there's an 'our father' recitation to lucifer scene too which is pretty good

The first horror movie that really freaked me out was the 50's House of Wax. I saw it on my friend's black and white television(it's a color movie) when I was five. Somehow I think the bad picture and lack of color made it much scarrier for me. My little kid brain imagined the worst possible things going on under the murkey static. I had a hard time walking through my darkened kitchen for a while.

The first modern horror film I saw was the thirdFriday the Thirteenth movie when I was ten. I saw it on tv with my cousin. Mostly i was interested and amazed that there were naked girls in it. I didn't care much about the slasher stuff either way.
