First Time You Were SCARED By A Movie

[BlackLagoon]

In NY/NJ I can remember in the late 80's when WPIX 11 was going to air The Exorcist for the 1st time. I was about 10.

I never saw it, but knew it was supposed to be the worst of the worst. I saw the commercials and that was enough!

They aired the damn commercials during the Yankee games so I saw it, and just the music and a few shots were enough to scare me senseless!

After that, I wasn't allowed to watch Nightmare On Elm St. yet...but it just came out on VHS and my friend across the street rented it. So I watched it (like a dumbass) and I was immediately scared.

Why? Because the basement where my mother made me take the laundry down to looked just like the boiler room in the film.

Needless to say, after the movie I came home to a hamper of clothes that had to be taken down to the basement--and I couldn't tell mom that I saw the movie.

So...it was a toss up, get chased by mom with a wooden spoon...or get chased by Freddy and his glove.

Easy choice, keep my mouth shut, pee my pants and face Mr. Krueger.

Adam Sandler movies creep me out.

Me too.........in one movie his character was born in the same city in which I was born. In another, his girlfriend has the same very unusual last name as I do. I don't know if the trend continues because I'm afraid to watch any more.
