Please list your "Gateway" Horror movie here

I was just reading another thread and Backfire mentioned some young horror fans using the movie Scream as there gateway movie into the horror genre. I thought it would be cool to hear what movie squeezed the chittttt out of your interest and dragged you into horror. Do not neccisarily site a movie that scared you as a kid, but one that really made you a fan of horror and started your collection



Night of the living Dead (1990) color remake

I was 13 when this movie came out. I thought the zombies all looked really cool. The characters were strong and really developed individual personalities. The movie had this hopeless feel with an infinate zombie horde just beating down the house.

*****

And so it began...

Jaws! I was only 4 or 5 years old when I first saw it, and I loved it, I remember asking my dad too go and rent a few movies were I could see blood and death, he acturly did it, remember he brought back The Fog,Critters,Jaws2, hehe and The Birds and Psycho, and that was a time when there would acturly be a good horror movie on the tv everyonce in a while now they just show shit, Dario you remember TV3 in the early 90'ins don't you? it was a good channel back then

beats me.....I've been watching them since I was extremely young. It would probably have to be Jaws, the Omen, Amityville Horror or Alice, Sweet Alice.

I've loved horror movies my whole life...but I guess the one that really got me into them was TCM. Also The Shining played a big part.

This may sound a little lame but i started wen i was about 10 And i rented"I Know What Yu Did Last Summer" and was into teen tthrillers like "Urban Legend" then i began lookin' for the scariest movies of all time on the Net and upon the List where movies like Nightmare On Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw MAssacre, Friday The 13th, Carrie, The Shining etc.

So i decided to check out a few.

I completely adored these movies and quickly turned form crappy ten horor to the classics.

KMC has played a big part in my interest of horror movies.

Thx Guys!!

I completely adored these

It was probably Aliens or Friday the 13th that got me into horror movies. I saw them both when I was about 5.

Nightmare on Elm street 2

and Scream kind of got me interested again, with all the mythology and rules and history, and reminded me that I love horror films, also because there had been no good horror films for so long until Scream came along and breathed new life and new respect into the genre
