I do remember seeing part of Alligator at the drive-in before catching more of it on the late night movies on the local TV station.

Hmmm...  For horror it's a tie between The Shining and Alien.  For Sci-Fi, my dad bought me the entire Star Wars Trilogy for my 5th or 6th birthday.  I watched the hell outta those tapes.  TeddyR

I couldn't tell you the first time I ever saw a Sci-Fi film. As soon as I was aware of anything, Sci-Fi was there. I've never been without it.

I can tell you my first experience with a straight horror film (stupid Children of the Corn), but Sci-Fi, my existence has literally never been without it.

The earliest sci-fi I can remember is watching reruns of the original Star Trek on TV.  And Space 1999, that was a huge favorite as well.  Oh, and Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, as well as the animated Star Trek.  And then there was the Logan's Run TV show, and Project Blue Book, and The Fantastic Journey.  For horror, maybe some made-for-TV movies from the '70s.  I'm sure the earliest things I saw were way before that, but that's as far back as my memory goes.

Not a B-movie, but my first horror memory was seeing YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at the drive-in (probably age 9 or so).  It got me obsessed with monsters for a short time.

My first horror experiance was Chupacabra Terror, I rented it just because it was about the chupacabra, since I like researching about cryptozoology.
My first sf experiance was definitely the original Star Wars trilogy.

This will certainly reveal my age. At around age 4, I remember seeing Invaders From Mars on TV and ads for Earth Vs the Spider and Rodan which had just opened in theaters. I was fascinated by the Martian Mankind (see my avatar) and I vividly remember the scene from The Spider of the woman screaming with her skirt caught in the car door as the spider approached. Scared the oatmeal out of me.

Am I the only one here who saw Tremors at a young age? I have a fond memory of watching Kevin Bacon & Fred Ward blowing up Graboids

As regards horror on TV, it was probably the Phillip Leacock TVM Baffled with Leonard Nimoy and then Crowhaven Farm with Hope Lange. They made some scary TV movies in the 70's, not so? I also vaguely remember watching Horror Express and Dark Secret of Harvest Home later ~ but what I will never forget is our holier than thou teacher in primary school asking us who had watched DSOHH and then reporting those who had to the principal.  Hatred I told the principal that I had my parents' permission to watch it and that they watched it with me, a story which they corroborated.

Horror at the cinema: Race With The Devil  Buggedout and I sneaked in to watch Phantasm.

That must the the opening of "A New Hope" with the star destroyer chasing that Rebel blockade runner - that's still a favorite movie moment of mine.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
