1. I remember it because I was around the age of 9 and I rented it from Movie Time on VHS.
2. I did my grandma had shown me a lot of 1950s horror that she loved. When I told my dad I liked it. He suggested Psycho because it was his first horror movie.
3. The viewing experience was great. I know a lot of people my age that don't appreciate films just because they are Black & White, but because of being introduced to them I love them. I thought it was scary and awesome.
4. I have watched it about five more times after that initial experience.
5. I was really susceptible as a kid to being fearful and yet I loved horror, go figure. I was more wary when I took a shower. That lasted for a little bit.
Some others that were listed:
Scream 1996:
1. I first watched it when I was 11. I again rented it at Movie Time on VHS. (I miss that in a way)
2. I had no prior suggestions to watch it. I had already seen Nightmare of Elm Street and knew of Wes Craven. The cover and description intrigued me when I was browsing the video store.
3. My experience was good. I had a better one when I re watched it the second time with my cousins and we were home alone in a dark living room with a lot of windows. We really freaked each other out.
4. I have watched it more than 7 times since then.
5. It embraced my love of the genre because it was aware of the genre in itself. Loved that concept.
Halloween:
1. I was around 7 when I first watched it on TV during Halloween.
2. I had heard about it and always had a tradition of watching horror movies on Halloween even before I really got into them. I was young so watching them on TV meant that they were more censored to my parents. They watched them with me and I loved that thrill of being scared.
3. My experience was great because it was actually on Halloween night after I went trick or treating so that made it so much better.
4. I have seen it every Halloween since then.
5. It was really the first slasher movie I had ever seen, and I really did not even know it at that time. I just found it scary each Halloween. The music was very memorable and built so much suspense.
Poltergeist:
1. Watched it on TV during around 6 or 7.
2. Both my parents had seen it in the 80s so they told me I should watch it.
3. I had a good experience because I watched it alone, makes it creepier.
4.I have watched i more than five times.
5. I really found it scary, especially the clown part. I though the concept was great too when I watched it as I got older.
Jaws:
1. Watched it on TV with my dad when I was 6 or 7.
2. Its one of my dad's favorites.
3. The experience was cool because I was watching it with my dad. We liked the same movies.
4. I have seen it a lot and I don't know how much.
5. I liked it a lot. Dun duh dun duh dun duh I can hear every time.
The Omen:
1. I think I was 12 or 13 and I saw it on TV.
2. I knew my parents had seen it.
3. I found the experience to be enjoyable.
4. I have watched it a few more times.
5. I really liked it. I thought it was a creepy film. " Look at me Damien, It's all for you!" is the creepiest part to me.
