The first tv/film(s) to scare you
Discussion
Remember when you first saw a scary film and because you were a child you couldn't sleep at night for being scared?
Whilst occasionally a film can leave me a little unsettled (Ringu, Martyrs for example) they can't really actually cause a scare 'cos they're only a moovie see'
However I do remember being absolutely terrified with 'The Legend of Boggy Creek' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068837
It's basically a crap bigfoot film, but it said it was 'based on a true story' and my parents house had a big garden that backed onto a wood, therefore in my head that's where Bigfoot lived. I spent most of the winter evenings looking out my bedroom window convinced he was there!
Also 'Jaws', this premièred on the telly, my folks let me watch the start where the nice lady gets eaten, then tell me it was bed time!
Not a chance in hell of sleeping that night!!

It's a pity in a way that you grow out of being scared, but I thought it might be fun to see if anyone had an equivalent scare when they were too young to know better.

I watched Aliens with my dad when I was about 6, I had really wanted to see it and one night when my mam went to work he put it on for me and my brother. Coolest thing I'd ever seen. It didn't scare me, nothing ever really has. I know that's a generic hardman answer, but I've never had trouble differentiating between real life and what is on the tv.
First scary film I saw was The Innocents(1961), I would have been about 10 years old when I saw it in the 70's - still a creepy film now! Also I remember the Fem-Bots on the tv series The Bionic Woman.....they proper scared the crrap out of me at the time!
More recently though the one film that probably scared me the most was definateley the first Paranormal Activity - watched it on my own, lights off.....didn't dare go to bed after it! From the first moment you see their bedroom door move a few inches by itself.....
