[in the woods...]

i think it was a elm street movie, but the first one i remember frightening me and giving me nightmares was Dr Giggle:)

mine was leprecaun. i was like 6/7. my cousins rented it (they were all teens or preteens at that time). they say that i kept running out of the room every time that the leprecaun came on the screen. it really scared me and i didn't watch horror for a long time after that.

I have been looking at this thread for a while now and just trying to recall my first horror movie. It was probably some lame kiddie horror thing but the first proper adult one I can recall is seeing The Thing when I was about 10 as we had one pirate copy that went around the whole of the neighbourhood!

first one i watched was friday the 13th part 6, loved it then, still love it now.

My first horror movie was Dracula (Christopher Lee): The prince of darkness...i'm almost 100% sure of this, though it could have been Psycho.

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.

What about the clown in that Simpsons episode?
"Can't sleep...the clown'll eat me".

Critters 2, when I was about 5 or 6 years old

I think it was probably the 1931 "Frankenstein."

The first film I vividly remember being really startled by was "The Land Unknown," which had a scene where a pterodactyl swoops out of the mist and bumps into the main characters' helicopter accidentally (it's the first weird thing that happens, and it comes totally out of nowhere). I remember seeing this on TV when I was a small kid, and being really totally surprised. Whoa!
