The very first English horror movie I remember is Evil dead and the absolute hype surrounding it. There were stories of people dying of heart attacks after watching that movie. We borrowed a deck player to watch the movie. I don’t remember much but I remember a girl pulled by the vines and someone’s feet with cracks on the sole. What is your first horror movie that you remember?
The Evil Dead?!? Terrifying! Geez, we saw that one at the cinema! We were all peeing-our-pants screaming like little 11-year-old girls! 🤣
Years later I met Ellen Sandweiss (she needed copies of her headshot). I’d recognized her from The Evil Dead and she seemed embrassed!
It wasn’t a horror movie per se but E.T. scared the living shit out of me when I was 5 years old. Every time I got sick I was scared some G-Men were going to abduct me and do experiments.
Nightmare on Elm Street 3
I think it was It (the Tim Curry version), I found it very scary
The Gate.
The scene with the construction worker traumatized me. Being scared of shit under the bed or in a closet was one thing. Zombies coming out of walls and mirrors was a whole new way to be terrified of everything around me.
