When/how did "you" start liking Horror movies?

[txjeff07]

My uncle was into horror flicks and I got to watch them when I went over to his place. I remember watching the original TCM, H78, and Maniac a couple years after they came out. Scared me as a kid but I couldn't look away, been hooked ever since

i dont really remember, been watching horror movies as long as i can remember

My aunt used to babysit me and thats all she had, so I started watching them. Candyman was my first I believe.

I watched Goosebumps at a very young age, if that counts

Besides that, as far as I remember the first time I actually grew interested in horror movies, I'd say around the age of nine or ten, when I got a little booklet from BlockBuster at Halloween time showing a bunch of horror movies and short summaries about them. It included movies like Halloween, Misery, Candyman, etc... Reading about those movies really caught my interest, so, I got a few, and watched them, and loved them. Before that, I had seen horror movies before, but it didn't really catch my interest.

Silver Bullet when I was 5. Mom didn't think it would be that bad being on TV so early. Something happened to me that day

Been watching horror since probably the age of 4/5. My family was never restrictive on my entertainment, so I became a huge slasher fan before my teenage years - and then it became an obsession.

My dad made it a tradition every halloween to rent horror movies.When I was 8 he rented Halloween,Night of the living Dead,Dawn of the Dead and The Exorcist.Couldn't sleep for a week because I thought Michael Myers was in my closet,zombies were outside and Reagan was under my bed going to pop up and barf on me.

As far back as i can remember i have been watching horror movies with my mom and sister. They loved them ,so of course, i did too.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasnt the first horror movie i seen but its the first one i can remember because it was a pretty tramatic experience, all that shrieking and squealing from the victims being tortured was horrible! My sister literally forced me to watch it while she babysat and then when the movie was over she made me go down into the cellar to get some water.. Meanwhile her dickhead bf was waiting in the dark down there to scare the shit out of me. When i got down there he jumped out at me wearing this creepy old man mask and almost gave a 9 year a f***in heartattack. So yea trust me when i say i will never forget that experience.

I've been watching horror movies since I was a kid, I wouldn't say I was obsessed but definitely curious and interested. I think the time where I really got into horror films was similar to whoever said it before, but it was mainly Resident Evil 2 that did it for me. But before that, the Elm Street series certain helped. And then 7th grade came around and then my friend and I made every attempt to see whatever horror movies we could.

Stephen King's It.

From that day, nightmares were frequent and I was hooked.

I was only 7 years old then. I became hardcore collector at the age of 12, when I bought myself the first Silent Hill game and had nightmares for one week straight.

Fear is like an adrenaline rush for me. Feels so great. Too bad I don't get that sort of feeling so frequently anymore.

The First movie i saw when i was in Junior High was The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and i had a good laugh on that movie. The only thing is the townspeople knew what to kill the Mutant Tomatoes with was music. And the second movie that i kinda liked was The Toxic Avenger and that was funny as well but it made a lot of sense though..

It was slightly mediocre horror films that got me hooked. I stumbled upon them accidentally when I was nine and going through my "OMG I Love Leonardo Dicaprio" phase. I rented Critters 3 because he was in it, and while it's not a very good film it did get me into the horror genre a little. I watched what I could get my hands on, and eventually my brother started supplying me with films to check out. We would have movie nights like once a month, and he made me a list of movies to rent when i had friends sleep over. Now I can't get enough horror.
