My first experience was the original “Psycho” with Anthony Perkins back in the late 70′s. I was about ten years old. That movie creeped me out and I never forgot it even months after watching it. After that I started watching other older “B” rated movies. But the movie that really got me hooked was Romero’s “Night Of The Living Dead”. Zombie flicks have been my favorite ever since. Now we have television shows like “The Walking Dead” which is a great series. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Stay spooked
“Salem’s Lot” the original, when I was 6 with my Dad. Pretty rad flick……”open the window Mark, open the window, he commands it”…. sooo creepy!! love it
My first film I saw completly alone was Evil Dead 2. I was 11. I totally fall in love with Horror Movie and then asked my mom to rent the first one. I was a little more scared but once again, I needed more and more. But the REALLY first Horror movie I saw(and not completly since I was too scared) was Demons. I was 8 or 9. My mom rent it for an Horror night between her and friends. lol
The first horror movies that i remember watching was hellraiser when i was seven. Probably shouldn’t have been watching those at that age but i grew up with two older brothers that just LOVE horror. They both were big influences on me and i myself have grown to adore anything to do with horror, be it movies, magazines or books.
Those are great stories. There are so many absolutely fantastic horror movies. I grew up with 4 teenage brothers and they were always trying to scare me because I was the only girl for a few years anyway. They would tell me stories about the Boogie Man, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Werewolf…etc & how they were hiding under my bed or in the basement, closet, alleys. So I went searching for them before those monsters found me. I think what got me hooked movie wise was the original Carrie or Rosemarys Baby. I was aroung 6 when I saw Rosemarys Baby and fell in love with that feeling that a horror movie gives you and I am still totally hooked. My first son was named Damion after The Omen’s Damien .
Thanks to all for sharing their stories and creepy dreams.
My first horror movie experience was with my father when i was 7 years old. My dad was a big fan of the Halloween series so we went to the local video store and rented Halloween on VHS. He knew when all the scary parts were going to happen, so he would scare me every time Myers would pop out.
I’ve been into Horror as far back as I can remember. Starting with Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and Disney’s “Scary Tales” at a very early age. (Age 4) Moving on to Creepshow and John Carpenter’s The Thing a bit later. (Age 5) Then saw my first “Adult” horror film at 7… A Nightmare on Elm Street. After that I was hooked for life. At age 8 I stayed up every Saturday night to watch my favorite program, “Haunted Hollywood”, Where I saw The Ghost Of Frankenstein and Night of the Living Dead for the first time. As a Horror fan growing up in the 1980s was the BEST time to be alive! I got to see all the greats in the theater or drive in. (Nightmare on Elm Street 3,4,5, & 6, Friday the 13th 6,7,& 8, Phantasm 2, Serpent & The Rainbow, Halloween 4,5,6,7,8, Plus alot of late night showings of older films Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Return Of The Living Dead, etc…) But my all time favorite theater experience was when I was 13 in 1990. I went to the Midnite showing of Leathface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III… I was the only person in the entire theater. That was RAD!!! I am currently in a “Horror Rock” band. Have 100′s of Horror film on VHS and DVD. Posters, figures, etc… Now I have kids of my own. I raise them of the same films I grew up with. I have a Screen Accurate Jason Hockey mask. My daughter thinks that’s me in those films. She loves monsters and madmen as much as I do. LONG LIVE THE HORROR FILM!!!
