yup, Hammer gave me an addiction to blood and boobs that continues to this day. Woot!

also The Exorcist, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Shining, Salem's Lot, The Evil Dead and Dawn and Day of the Dead were all instrumental in cementing this early 'preoccupation' which still pervades

Hammer films were also a huge inspiration.

It is so odd to me how many of us here had this exact same experience, and list this as one of our most influential movies. That part of Salem's Lot stood out for years as one of the scariest scenes I had ever seen. Loved it.

When I was a kid my whole family absolutely loved horror movies. I mean they would always try and watch a good scary movie any night they could, usually on the weekends. So some of the movies which got me into horror were films like Halloween, The Shining, Psycho, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Poltergeist. That's all I can really think of right now.

I dont remember doing it but my mom said when I was 5 I would watch Childs Play over and over.....I dont really remember watching that many until I was in the 9th grade (had a strict Christan mom) but when I did start watching them again I watched Hostel and Silent Hill at like 3 in the morning after that I wanted to see any and all horror movies

I watched Misery for the first time when I was about 7 and the utterly glorious terror I felt when Kathy Bates storms through the door in the middle of the night hooked me there and then. I want to second Goosebumps too though, I used to love that as a kid.

After that I watched NOES and Halloween and never turned back

I was watching movies on Elvira at a real young age. old B’s and creature features still hold a warm place for me.

for me personally it was the original Night Of The Living Dead, and Vincent Price's The Last man On Earth and then I started watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween and the A Nightmare On Elm Streets and Friday the 13th's also always been a big fan of the movies that Stephen King puts out.
