Day 1: The very first scary movie you ever saw.

A Nightmare On Elm Street when I was 5 years old not long after its theatrical release. Scared the absolute shit out of me but I also fell in love with it at the same time. Remains my favorite horror movie to this day.
Well I feel better about letting my daughter watch Paranormal Acitvity at too young an age now 🀣
 
Day 1: The very first scary movie you ever saw

I really can't say for sure. I just know when I was six or seven all my friends at school were already watching slasher flicks (or so they said) and I was begging my mom and being denied. Let's just say it took a long time to appreciate that that was a pretty normal response on her part πŸ˜‚

I do remember watching The Haunting when it came out on VHS or maybe DVD? It wasn't too intense and I've always loved ghosts so it was a better place to start lol.

I love this book but have not ever watched this film 🀣
 
I didn’t really get into horror until High School. I was more a fantasy/sci-fi movie nerd before then. There are plenty of scary scenes in those movies but I think the first movie I saw that really unsettled me was this one.

I remember seeing this at a theater. I thought the title sounded "cool". :ROFLMAO:
 
Oops... a little late on the first day. πŸ˜¬πŸ˜…

The Fall of the House of Usher with Vincent Price. I'm surprised Mom let us watch it at all. I remember hiding behind her Lazyboy recliner with one of my sisters peeking out at the tv when I felt brave. Watched it recently and it was so cheesy but I still tensed up. lol

Did you know this year is the 40th anniversary of the original Nightmare? :)

I met Robert Englund, Heather Lagenkamp, Ronee Blakely, and Amanda Wyss at a con this year. It’s my favorite horror movie to this day, too.

Poltergeist

I saw this when I was way too young. Apparently, many kids saw this way too young because of its PG rating. Gotta love the 80s parenting

This was also an early one for me. I think I’d read the mad magazine parody or had a friend tell me the whole story (as we did in those days) so I was more prepared. But still….*shudder*

Previous movie I posted was the first I remember over all but this was my first in a theater.

Fuck that clown doll. That asshole would have never been allowed in my bedroom.

Something more to freak you out? Some of the skeletons used in the pool scene were actual human remains, as it was cheaper to buy them from a medical supply company than fabricate real looking bones from plastic. Spielberg has verified that. But the "decaying flesh" part is a myth, if that helps

I am not 100% sure of the first scary movie I ever saw. My brother and I joke that we were watching Nightmare on Elm Street when our peers were watching Sesame Street…. And I just can’t recall what started it all, but I feel pretty certain that Children of the Corn was absolutely one of the first.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is the earliest I can remember too. It came out in theaters when I was 1 year old, but I probably saw it on video at a relative’s house at 2 or 3 years old, and it terrified me.

There once existed a photo of 5 year old me and two of my older cousins (12-13 years old) who took me trick-or-treating. They were a French maid and a soldier. I was a ballerina bunny, I guess? I had a pink leotard and tights and bunny ears, and a bunny nose and whiskers painted on my face, except the face paint was running because I was crying hysterically while looking off-camera at another older cousin dressed as Freddy Kruger and menacingly brandishing his fake knife-hands gloves at me. I wasn’t able to rewatch that movie until well into adulthood πŸ˜…

I don’t think I’ve been more jealous of someone in my entire life. :LOL: That’s awesome!

Probably the scariest disney film! The book is scary too (the film is pretty faithful to it). Bradbury did great creepy terror in his stories.
 
Day 1: The very first scary movie you ever saw

I'm having a hard time remembering my first. I know I saw "It" the miniseries on television when I was 8 or 9.

But, the scene in "Jack the Giant Killer" 1962, where Princess Elaine turns into a witch, scared me. I still watched this movie over and over though. I loved it. My great aunt recorded it on VHS for me and my brother. πŸ˜†
