I think the first movie that got me into B-flicks was "Godzilla 1985."  My first true horror movie was probably "Jaws."  
I used to rent a lot of b-movies back when I was little because most of them weren't rated, or weren't rated properly, so I saw a lot of stuff that most little kids wouldn't have simply because I rented anything with a monster on the cover.

Early TV exposure from the Sunday morning movies on the local ABC station: "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster" and "The Blob". My dad used to alternate watching these old horror flicks and "Face the Nation" before we went to church. So I knew who Godzilla and Moshe Dayan were from an early age,

First "horror" type film I saw at the theater: "Orca". My mom took me to see it when I was about four, still remember the whale collapesing the house on stilts to get to chomp on Bo Derek's leg, and Charlotte Rampling being the only survivor on the iceberg after the whale killed Richard Harris and Will Sampson. Wasn't until I saw it years later, much older that I realized what a bad movie it was.

First films to "affect" me and make me want more: the Corman/Poe films when they turned up on late night TV on CBS. I've mentioned how the ending of "Pit and the Pendulum" was cut off (too many unintended puns on my part lately) and stuck with me for years wanting to see how it ended in other threads. But "Tales of Terror" and the psuedo-Poe film "The Terror" were all early films that made me want to see more.

I also remember seeing "Octaman" with my dad one afternoon not long after we first got cable. But we both spent so much time laughing at how goofy the creature looked that we drove others in my extended family crazy talking about how silly it was.

my god. I steped into "IT" once and scared the crap out of me. ooohhh, the child hood horrors.

[raj]

No, no.  I appreciated the joke.

[maria paula]

a horrible film called " Mausolelum" i was about 10 maybe,  and by that time i thought it was a great film and very scary, anyway, its good to grow up, time gives u  a different  perspective of what it means " great film" and " scary"

[Acidburn]

The first one that I can remember is a movie called Phantasm.   I was about  six I believe and I remeber the little silver flying ball cutting off someones ear or something like that.  
We had a very long hall in our house and I remember at night when I needed to go to the bathroom, I would cover my ears and run down the hall as fast as I could scared that  the ball was going to attack me.

[BoyScoutKevin]

My first: "The Fly" The original, Not the remake. My mother acutally took me and my younger sister to see it, when it was first released into the theaters.

[Chopper]

"OH, speaking of robot/computer villians...does anyone remember a the name of the movie where the house takes over??? I remember the computer making the kitchen so hot that an egg fried on the counter...only remember bits and pieces really...but would love to check it out again."

Kinda reminds me of a 70's horror film "Demon Seed." You might want to check that one out.

The first one I can remember was Stephen King's IT. Wasn't Tim Curry Pennywise? Anyway..

I say the first one I remember because my dad was an avid horror movie watcher, and he told me that I stared at the TV screen while he watched A Nightmare on Elm Street.

(BTW-- Freddy Krueger is awesome, and he could kick Jason's ass anyday. =P)

[loyal1]

Yup, Pennywise was Tim Curry "Yes, they all float down here.."  Talk about the creepiest clown ever!

[Ryan]

Tim Curry gave me the willies as the desk clerk in Home Alone 2. But only because he was an adult chasing after a kid.

I can only think of Michael Jackson.

(Random fact; When I  was little, I saw a commercial for a Jackson 5 CD. I raced to my mom, pulled her into the room, and yelled, "Look, mom! Michael Jackson used to be black!")

[Susan]

Tim curry is an awsome character actor -Now he had a skit on one of the Tales from The Crypt episodes that was downright nasty where he played all the characters of a redneck family.

But I always liked him as the Lord of Darkness in "legend". He was very scary as Pennywise. Then again so were the Killer Klowns from Outer space....clowns are just evil

[loyal1]

Do you remember the worst Tim Curry role ever...I still can't get the bad graphics in the background when he danced and sung...it was so bad that it was hilarious.

Did you ever see the Worst Witch...lol

[Susan]

Why did you make me remember th Worst Witch? Years of therapy to extract that "anything can happen on halloween" with the psychadelic dancing from my consiousness!

Read this..it's so funny Tim Curry
