Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

I saw Hitchcock's Psycho at age 11 for some reason or other. It is precisely the sort of movie that frightens me even to this day (as opposed to the ridiculous sadistic gorefests which merely bore), never been able to shower in an unlocked room since  :lol:

I saw part of Alien on PBS when I was....well...before first grade, I think.  I got up to the Last Supper scene and then I started crying and ran away. 

I also saw a lot of early X-Files at an early, early age.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Day of the Living Dead gave me a nightmare the first time I saw it, well into my teenage years. Or perhaps it was the horrible (Spanish) dubbing. Stuff of what horror movies are made  :lol:
The joys of living in the Raia

BVN

I saw Night of the Living Dead and Nightmare on Elm street at a young age. Didn't sleep so well afterwards.

And to be honest, I still hate horror movies. My imagination is a bit to livid, I guess...  :blush:

I sometimes think I might have started watching porn a little too young (age 11 or so)... but it's not my fault that my dad's desk drawer lock was so easy to pick. :Embarrass:

I saw David Lynch's Eraserhead on TV when I was about 12 and it scared the living bejesus out of me. Don't think I could even watch it again now.

I read the book of Alien years before I could watch the film, and my mum took it away from me as I couldn't sleep at night.

Sheilbh

I saw about ten minutes of It when I was 6-7.  I was at my aunty's and they had Sky.  I turned to one of the movie channels and thought it was a film about a clown :weep:

I also saw Terminator and Terminator 2 when very young (though my mum made me watch a video of 'The Making of Terminator' first).  And The Silence of the Lambs.
Let's bomb Russia!

Saw The Haunting as a young'un. Scared the shit out of me, even more so because you never actually saw any monsters.

I still think it is right up there with Alien and Psycho as a contender for the scariest movie I have ever seen.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Friday the 13th(the original one). The Woody Woodpecker cartoon beforehand was awesome. I think I was 8 or 9 at the time.

Actually what scared the living fuck out of me when I was a kid was not a movie but a section in the Dayton Daily news that described a fictional nuclear attack on Wright Patterson wit 2 400kt warheads. I was living in the vaporization/die instantly area. And the description of the Mayor of Dayton bleeding out of the eyes in the basement of city hall was freaky as hell.

The Cold War. Gotta love it.

I saw a Woody Allen film as a 5 year old on a plane.

lots of sex. I thought it was all funny 'cause Allen was chaplain-esque.

Halloween

I was eight or nine, my older brother and his son came over, and we all watched it together. Still the scariest movie I've ever seen, and throughout my teen years when I babysat, I locked every door in the house and had every light on throughout until the parents came home. :ph34r:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...
