I really don't remember. I've never been badly affected by things I saw in media, so my parents let me watch a lot of stuff when I was young.
My earliest memory of a 'scary' movie was The Dark Crystal. I was about 3-4. My dad came in the room and suggested turning it off because it was darker than he expected it to be, but I cried and pleaded so he let me keep watching it. I know that's not horror, but I guess it does explain why they were so lenient with what I watched after that.
My first horror movie might have been Gremlins if that counts. I know I was really young when I saw it, maybe 5-6 years old.
If not, then my first true horror film was probably either Poltergeist or the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Not sure how old I would have been, but definitely 8 or younger.
I generally avoid them because I am a baby and get scared very easily, but my first two were It (2017) and Lights Out, which I watched at a friend's birthday party in 2017.
I didn't like it at all xD Me and my friend went on vacation, and we met up with two guys she knew, who wanted to watch it when we hung out.
It wasn't the first one.. the first one and this one were the only ones ive seen.. I still have no idea WHY I agreed to it. All I know is I didn't enjoy my first horror movie experience lol.
I honestly don't even remember the name of the movie. I don't even know if it was a HORROR movie. But, there was this scene of a clown and his eyes were bleeding. It was really scary. I had to have been like.. 5? 6? But he was in a fountain in a town square of some sort and his eyes were just.. bleeding. I was so scared LOL
I can not remember if I saw the original Pet Semetery first or the original Nightmare on Elm Street but those two movies was the first time watching horror as a young kid and I LOVED it...... I have liked horror movies ever since
Part of Nightmare on Elm Street Four: Dream Master when I was four. I had no idea what I was watching as it was just randomly on the tv at someone’s house and the scene where Debbie dies. I remember finding the turning into a cockroach funny as I didn’t know what was actually happening and then I told my sister about what I had seen and we started to play this game where we re-enacted the scene as I had thought it had happened. I was a bit odd when it came to scary things or what should have been traumatic as a kid. I didn’t know what death was and I wasn’t even affected by Bambi’s mom being killed.
I can't remember the name of it but the first horror movie I saw was a movie about these kids who were sent to their grandparents for a while, and over time the kids realize the people they were living with weren't even their grandparents, and during the nights they would do really weird stuff or something. Really the only reason I remember that movie is that during one of the nights the kid peeked into the living room and saw the fake grandma completely naked just standing in the living room facing a wall, it added literally nothing to the movie and it was just really weird.
Mine was IT too! It made me terrified of clowns and shower drains for years, but to this day the original and the newer remakes are some of my favorite horror movies.
Twilight Zone: The Movie. I watched Twilight Zone with my family as a kid sometimes, and at some point we watched the movie as well. The scene with the girl who had no mouth really freaked me out. It haunted me.
Aside from that, I think the next was Cloverfield? I don't really watch horror movies, but we watched that one at school after finishing testing once. I was talking to my friend while it was playing, so I wasn't watching very attentively, but I remember it being about a monster in a city, maybe New York. We also watched Hide and Seek at school
Other horror movies I've watched are Coraline, 28 Days Later, Black Swan, and Perfect Blue. There might be others I'm forgetting, but I really don't watch horror very often, and I hate jump scares
I can't remember if it was Poltergeist or Thir13en Ghosts but it was either one with my family. I might of been creeped out but I don't recall getting too scared too watch... just lost interest. I just went back up to play Kirby's Air Ride. I think that time was Thir13en Ghosts.
I can appreciate the series now because Tim Curry was brilliant. As a kid, everything about that clown was terrifying and I was scared of clowns for a long time.
Mine might be Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. I don’t know if I was there watching it intentionally or if I was just in the room at the time.
The first one I went to see was The Ring 2 (if that counts) or Annabelle. My friends didn’t tell me what we were seeing at the time we went to see the Ring 2 since they knew I would say no it they asked if I wanted to see it . I didn’t enjoy it at all, though it wasn’t as scary as Annabelle. I stikl have nightmares sometimes about Annabelle.
I'm not sure what the first was, but the earliest I can remember went to the theater to see Freddy Vs Jason, and they changed what movie was playing at the last minute to Cabin Fever. I hated it, very stupid movie, I do no recommend it. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever got to see Freddy Vs Jason.
The next one I can remember seeing was Butterfly Effect, I also hated that movie.
