The first horror movie I ever saw was the Boris Karloff Frankenstein. I remember being at my grandparents' house and sneaking out of bed to watch it on the late show. At the time, I actually expected to be scared. The one that made me a fan, however, would be Hellraiser.

First horror movie: Bride of Framkenstein

First hook: The Shining

First loved character: Jack Torrence

nightmare on elm street, my mom went to the theater to see it and i was like 9 hell what year did it come out? i might have been younger neway that movie at that time scared the shit outta me!!!!!!!!

Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.

A Nightmare On Elm Street. I think I was around 7 or 8. Ever since then I have loved horror.

It's a toss up between NOES or the Exoricist. I really loved Heather Langencamp/Nancy, and I was really frightened by Reagan- which is a plus.

So, I don't remember which of those two was my first. Maybe it was a cluster fuck or something.:D

My first was The Shining. Of course my parents told me I couldn't watch it so I snuck out of bed late one night and it happened to be on. Of course I watched it and was scared shitless(I was around 5). I've been hooked on horror ever since!

The earliest I remember was Halloween, but I think there might have been glimpses of a few others before that.

In terms of what really got my hooked...

Tie between the Alien in Alien and Mike Myers in Halloween.

What got me hooked on horror?

Thriller

Seriously...
