I Love Horror Movies

Grew Up Loving Horror Flicks

By: 1sweetloralei
Written on January 18th, 2011
I grew up watching horror flicks with my parents.  I can remember watching The Shining at the drive-in when I was 8. I'd be watching it from the backseat and duck down during the scary parts which was most of the movie...lol.  When VCR players were invented we used to rent movies on the weekends and the majority of them were horror flicks.  Some that stick out in my mind are Mausoleum, Phantasm,  Christine, Carrie,  Halloween (one of my favorites), The Evil Dead. I remember walking out of the room while watching The Evil Dead as a kid.  Poltergeist was another favorite of mine.  I remember seeing that as a kid and my mom asking me at bed time if I wanted her to put my clown doll in the closet.  I bravely said, "no I want to sleep with him."  I've always been a bit of a little rebel...lol.  My parents meant no harm in allowing me to watch these.  We were just doing a family activity.  I still love horror flicks and they are always my first choice when picking out a film to see.  I especially love watching them alone in the dark.

    I love to be scared! I remember Carrie! I was about 7 when I first saw it! I would like to see the Shining all the way through..some time. :] The first couple of Halloween movies were good. Darn Mike Myers always gets me to jump out of my chair. I finally saw the Exorcist all the way through about a year ago.

    I dont know how I forgot that one, Phantasm. for its time was an awesome movie. Christine, was pretty good, I had a 56 plymouth fury follow me one night on a long dark deserted road. LOL started thinking about that movie about half way down the road



    Poltergiest, a lesson that all parents should learn, never ever, buy creepy looking clown dolls for your kids rooms. LOL



    I had to sneak into the theatre to See Halloween. LOL aah the memories. Evil dead was one of my Favorites.



    Amityville horror gave me years of material for practicle jokes to terrify my brother and friends with.



    Horror movies the good ones, are alot of fun to watch on dark and stormy nights. I started watching them around six or so. The first one I remember was a campy movie called The Wasp woman. LOL scared the Chaps off me. my grandmother, warned my mom they would warp me. thinking about now, she might have been right LOL
