...that you ever seen?  :question:

Mine-
I saw FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN on TV in 1967. I was 5.
At a theater- PLANET OF THE APES (1968). Unless you don't consider that horror and more sci-fi. Then it would be WILLARD (1971) at the Strand in Paw Paw, Mich. I was 9.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

I didn't see this at the theater, but years later on TV. I was about 3 or 4 years old. The film traumatized me and gave me nightmares.

Theater:

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971). Not during its original run; this was again years later when I was about 6 or 7 years old. And yes, the film gave me nightmares. The ending was too intense for me, so we had to leave the theater.
Is it October yet?

HORROR EXPRESS and the TV movie BAFFLED with Leonard Nimoy on television.

In cinemas I think it was THE SHINING and you all know how I feel about that one 😳😉🐢
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

my older cousin showed me AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON when I must've been about 7 or 8...

I only saw that this year and it freaked me out!

Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2.

I was probably 4 or so, late 80s.

I don't remember. I remember seeing short clips of Universal's Frankenstein and the Wolfman as a kid and being fascinated. The first one I remember seeing in the theater is THE SHINING, but I probably saw something before that.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

the first one I saw was part 8... maybe that's partly why it's my favourite? it's supposedly one of the worst (or even THE worst) but I love it
