First horror movie you watched alone as a child.

[Giselle]

What was the first horror movie you watched alone as a child with or without parents consent?

Mine was Return of the Living Dead when I was 7. It was on cable late one night and I knew no one would wake up and catch me so I got to watch the whole thing. Afterwards the only thing that bothered me was the black monster that came out of the canister in the basement <can't remember his name>.

[Kaos]

Mine was Friday The 13th. Pt. 2. I was 4 when I watched it. I snuck outta bed after everyone else was asleep. I've been watching horror movies ever since, and contrary to what the media says I should've done(due to watching such movies at a young and impressionable age:rolleyes:), I've never killed anybody.:p

My dad used to take me to see horror flicks from a very young age, but the first movie I ever saw without my parents concern I think it was Phantasm, I watched this flick with my brother and my parents didnt know. Weird thing is I watched it during the day and it still scared the crap out of me, specially the ending.

i saw child's play with my dad, and he taped it and i would watch it every day when i came home from school (i was, what you would call, one of those latch-key kids)...but i suppose that doesn't count, because i watched it 1st with my dad (i was 8).

a few months after that, i wanted to watch the exorcist on tv. my mom told me i wasn't allowed to, it was "too scary" and it gave her nightmares when she 1st saw it when she was older. but...i had a tv i shared with my brothers upstairs. so i watched it anyway.

next morning at breakfast: "mommy, i watched that movie last night that you said was too scary. i didn't get nightmares. that movie wasn't that scary."

(my mom didn't say anything, and she didn't get mad at me)

Mine was A Nightmare on Elm Street. It wasn't the first horror film I'd seen, but it was the first one I watched alone. I was like eight at the time. Freddy never really scared me though. I just thought it was really cool. :D

[RogueSpear]

It was Halloween, at night during a huge thunderstorm. Scared the shit out of me and I loved it! It's been my favorite horror movie ever since.

[The Claw]

I dont know. Probably Friday The 13th Part 4. Or one of them, I usually watched most movies with my parents.

[Horror_Fanatic]

I watched predator with my cousin when I was 6. Scared the shit out of me. I must have had nightmares for a month after that. The first one I ever watched alone was Killer Klownz From Outer Space. I'm not sure how old I was, but I remember hiding under my covers when I went to bed.

I think on the same day I watched Killer Klownz, I watched some movie that had to do with a carnival, where a guy was strapped to a table and a pendulum was swinging. The crowd standing aroud thought it was part of the fun house and was laughing. Can anybody tell me the name of this flick?

[Draccoca]

my first i was 5 or 6 and it was nightmare on elmstreet dream warriors i think or the one before that but i snuck down stairs when my dad was watching it and i hide in a spot where i could see the movie without getting in trouble (Under the couch) well i feel asleep under there and when my mom went to wake me up in the morning she freaked out and called the cops because i wasn't in my bed and she didn't know where i was. I was woken up a little later because my mom was screaming for me.

[HorrorIsLife]

My very first was NOES (that's Y it's my fav) My dad is the Movie King and he got a bootleg copy from his friend who owned a video store, I was 5 and he used to make me watch it with him..(nice dad)
But My first horror movie "Alone" was Flowers in the Attic....not that scary but I didn't eat powdered sugar cookies for awhile!

[Psychopath2616]

Poltergeist 3 here......Ive had nightmares about mirrors ever since.

[*Escapade*]

Hell, I can't even remember! I've watched horror movies on my own since like FOREVER... My mom was a teenage horror junkie, so she never cared what my brothers and I watched.

[teenkiller]

I remember seeing quite a few horror films by the time I was five. Bloody Birthday, Critters, Ghoulies, and The Pit are a few that come to mind but the first movie I can remember seeing is either the original A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET or THE DREAM WARRIORS. I can't remember which though. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[The Creeper]

The first horror movie I remember watching was Silence of the Lambs, which at the time I thought was based on a true story. I thought Hannibal was going to come to my house and eat me!

[ICP RULZ]

I would say Prodigy. Not the new ones,but the old one.

Peace,
Matt

[anybodykilla100]

By the way giselle the name of that zombie is the tar man but the first horror movie i watched by ,my self was a nightmare on elm street 1 freddy scared the shit out of me.Of course that was be for the oneliners lol

[ian]

i saw the shining when i was 5. not a good movie to see alone when you are a kid.

[Corporal_Hicks]

I saw Jaws when I was 6. My parents tried to shield me from that movie saying it would scare me and it was too intense. I loved it and was hardly worried about shark attacks, (I live far from an ocean though).

Then I saw Predator when I was 7 at an older neighbour's (he was about 18) house and I had a bloody good time.

[Grim H.]

When I was five I started watching the remake of "The Body Snatchers," and I nearly pissed myself when I saw that woman's face collapse. (I think that's what happened. My memory is very vague.)

[TheJadedGamer]

I was 5 and my parents turned on Halloween for them to watch, they ended up going to bed about 10 minutes into it and I had to watch it because I had yet to learn how to work the magicial remote.

[Antonio]

The original FRIDAY THE 13TH on Showtime in 1981 (remember the converter boxes?). The graphic visuals shocked the hell outta me! I had previously seen CARRIE and PROM NIGHT on network TV, with the graphic images edited, natch. But this was my first "sneak-watch".

[Donnie_Darko]

I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre when I was like 7 or 8 (can't remember that far back... around '75/'76), and it freaked me to shit... which is why it's my favorite horror movie (and why I'm pissed they're destroying it with a rewrite, er, remake).

I couldn't watch Exorcist alone til I was like 13 tho... by then, it didn't freak me out anymore.

[Tagia_Romero]

"Aliens"

[J.Sledge]

Friday The 13th Part 1 & 2
& The Howling, My Mother got me into horror flicks & now she can't stand them

[Wi$hMastér]

I was 8 I watched Halloween 2 after that Evil Dead 2
Now Im 14 :D

[Regan]

The Exorcist when I was about 6.20 years ago,it scared people and it still scares people.Honestly, the movie itself isn't that scary,the scary thing is,it could happen.

[The Sandman]

When I was 6 or 7 years old I was terrified when I seeing Silver Bullet alone in my house, i was very glad that my father bring back his ass heheh!!!

[Max Colston]

Watched Hallowen at 1 in the morning on TV when I was four.

[Candyman666]

Evil Dead and Friday the 13th Part 3 (watched em both on the same day).

Hooray for me.

[Ren Hoek]

Tombs of the Blind Dead when I was seven... damn, this movie is so cheesy it didn't even scare me when I was just a wee lad :rolleyes:

[pyscho dude]

Hard to remember the first one I saw but I remember seeing Poltregeist as a little kid and it scared me then. Now I laugh at the movie. Also I saw some of Return of the living dead when I was little but when the tarman ate Suicide's brains that just freaked me out so much I turned it off and went to bed. All night all I could think about was that man getting his brains eaten. Of course now I find that scene very cool.

[Jon Lyrik]

Dawn of the Dead.

[Wicked]

I am from Croatia, which was a part of Jugoslavia when I was born. So the first horror movie I ever saw was a domestic one. It was called "Leptirica" ("Butterfly" or "Moth" in translation) I was 4 (maybe even 3), and that movie is one of the earliest childhood memmories I have. That's because it scared me shitless. I remember I bugged my parents to let me watch it, but it was so scary for me I saw like one quarter of it. Anyway, dont remember it much, but I know it was one scary film that I would love to get my hands on today.

[Dark_One79]

Geez, you're asking me to go way back on this one. The first horror film I ever watched alone? Well, this is probably impossible for me to recall, short of hypnosis, so I'll just guess and say it was probably Dawn of the Dead. Or maybe Aliens if you want to count that as horror.

I watched a lot of horror during the eighties, but wasn't usually alone. Thankfully my dad got me into the genre and we watched a lot of horror back in the day.

[Masterbrain]

Taste the Blood of Dracula or Hitchcock´s Birds...

[KillerKlown]

Salem's Lot

[Five Years]

My brother was doing a report on Roddy McDowall (don't know why) so he rented Fright Night (no real good reason). I watched it with him. I was about 7. It scared the hell out of me. Now it's not scary, i just love it.

[WamphyriNate]

I can't think of the first one i saw alone. The first one I remember seeing though, is Alien. I was very young and that movie scared the living shit out of me. I remember going to see friday the 13th at a drive-in after that and really enjoying it. Been hooked on horror ever since. (was just too cool, it started raining for real right when it did in the movie, and stopped within 10 seconds of the movie rain too. WAY too cool.)
