My first Horrors were all those Hammer horrors from the 60 and early 70's. Can't remember which was first but it will probs be CL as Dracula an PC as Van Helsing.

I then got my eyes properly opened by the video nasties of the early 80's... yikes!

Can't remember the first, but the first one to scare me shitless was the original "House On Haunted Hill" back in late 60's

I'm not a great fan of horror films, but one of the best in my opinion was "Exorcist" in early 70's simply for the world wide impact it had.

The biggest let down was the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". It was well over hyped and left me well short on expectation. Load of shite as far as I was concerned

My first horror was at 13 living in Hong Kong...myself and two girls went downtown..by the walled city, to see the sights ....and walked into a cinema and watched a Hammer horror ..The House That Bleed ...frightened me shitless, which was followed by a hardcore porno ....

I wore my best shoes and got caught out by my parents ....I was grounded for 2 months for going....two long months.....

T`was an icredibily stupid thing to do in hindsight....I had nightmares about the film fer ages after..

Boris Karloff in the 1937 movie The Curse Of The Mummy. I was about 14 - 15 yrs old at the time. Still think it is one of the scariest movies ever made.

Love cowering on the sofa while watching Boris, Bella Lugosi and Lon Chaney/ Lon Chaney Jr

I think mine was Evil Dead, I loved all the Nightmare on Elm St movies, was a bit obsessed with them.

1,2 Freddie's coming for you,

3,4 Better lock your door.....

Cant remember the rest....

Didn't think horror movies could scare me anymore until recently when I saw Drag me to hell....really enjoyed it and found myself jumping in fright and laughing in equal measures a few times .

i'm the same really struggle to find one that truelly scares me in fact can't think of one recently that has, last ones were the nightmare on elm street ones, the new one left me feeling let down think i was hoping to love it as much as the originals

loved drag me to hell gave me goose bumps in parts but felt very let down by the ending

paranormal activity was just pathetic, again had high hopes for it after the hype but just spent the whole film picking it apart, was the most dissapointing horror i have ever seen i think

Agree about paranormal activity....reminded me of Blair witch project. Didnt quite get what the hype was all about. A bunch of people with snotty noses groping around in the dark and breathing heavily...

Mmm that could be me actually...well apart from the snotty nose bit. I do like a good grope in the dark

Actually...I want to change mine from The Exorcist (which didn't particularly frighten me)....to the Dr Who films with the (gulp) Daleks .

I was probably about 5-6 years old...and even now (approaching 52) the hairs still stand up on the back of my neck if I see one. I KNOW they aren't real....just over-sized egg boxes on wheels...but I hate them

Hammer Horrors were the first i remember cant recall how old i was but i remember sitting transfixed at Christopher Lee as Dracula...think that where my biting n being bitten fetish started.....i cant say im ever frightened by this genre of films...sometimes disturbed...mostly disappointed ...now the Japanese horrors are a totally different matter.

I think the Excorsist was the first 'real' horror I ever watched at the flicks.

My mate and I managed to get into the 'Regal Cinema' in Downtown Ashington to see it.

Oh how we laughed ...

1, 2 Freddy's coming for you

3, 4 Better lock your door

5, 6 Grab your crucifix

7, 8 Better stay up late

9, 10 Never sleep again.

Don't remember the first horror movie I ever saw. Possibly Chucky, possibly Children of the Corn, I do remember watching them from a very early age though, with my Gran.

I haven't ever seen a film that scared me though. Never suffered with nightmares from films. I adore horror. Have loads on DVD ranging from the original Hammer Horrors to stuff like Buried, and everything in between.

Can't remember the first, but Alien, Carrie, and 'The Thing' all stand out for me.
