For me it was the original Poltergeist when I was 8 or so.
And later I found out the skeletons in the graveyard scene were actual dead bodies. Yum.
True story. Real ones were cheaper than props.
Same thing happened in Apocalypse Now. The actors didn't know until after.
Oh man. Yeah. That movie scarred me for life.
It was Stephen King's IT for me. I don't know how young I was, but too young.
As a (probably too young) kid, I had already seen some Jason and Michael Myers... but IT was the one that made me afraid to go to sleep after watching it. It's the one that I still remember the fear and remember exactly where I was when I watched it
I rewatched that a couple years ago on Halloween night. I can't understand why I was so scared as a kid. It's a silly movie, and quite cheesy too.
Yeah, I think I was maybe 5 or 6? Wicked bad choice.
