What was the first scary movie you saw? How old were you?

"Where the Boys Are" (Connie Francis, 1960 ) ... I was 15 and I knew I'd never fit in.

Rosemary's Baby, Cujo, Jaws, The Exorcist.............. nah.

How about the Original TZ when it came out...the one about the ventriloquist and the dummy. At age 3-4, I was terrified. A little kid with nightly nightmares!? Still have 'em... Don't know that it was just the episode, though.

Most bedtime stories were too scary for me. Main ones being the Grimm "fairy tales". Kids nowadays think Sleeping Beauty is like the Disney version........no, no.

They are bringing Twilight Zone back but I can't remember what network!

Sidebar: My very fav two were Time Enough at Last A henpecked book lover finds himself blissfully alone with his books after a nuclear war & Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? A flying saucer crashes in a heavy snowstorm somewhere in New England. The police follow tracks from the wreckage to a diner, where a group of bus passengers wait for a bridge to be cleared. There are seven passengers in the restaurant, but the thing is, the driver claims there were only six folks on the bus.

Psycho....the original. I must have been around 2 or 3. Not one of my mother's better judgement calls. And then I remember the Birds....haunted me for life. Again, not one of my moms shining moments. Apparently she was a Hitchcock fan.
