Anyone else love these horror films?

Sure they are mostly B movies but still... i love em

Showtime is having "horror summer" and they are showing all those horror classics.

They used to kinda make me jump when i was a kid and saw them without my parents knew or liked it.

Tonight there is a really bad one Swamp thing. Tomorrow its Children of the Corn III (the other 2 have been shown. Later this week Friday the 13th movies start.

Since I'm 37 years old I do remember all of those movies.

When I was a young kid my mom took me to a drive in theater. It was a double feature. I can't remember the first movie but the second movie shown was called "To the devil a daughter".

That movie scared the hell out of me.

All of those goofy 80's movies are all funny now.

Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
People under the stairs
and the list goes on and on.

The only scary movie I have ever seen in my life is "The Exorcist", seen at the theatre first run. That one scared me enough to not want to see anymore.

Swamp Thing was a comic book adaptation.

The Leprechaun series is pretty funny, but I dunno about scary. Well, the first one did make me cry, but that was only because the then unknown Jennifer Aniston didn't take her shirt off. I mean really, why have an unknown actress with a nice rack in a horror flick if she ain't gonna get topless? That's just fundamentally wrong.

Before the days of Caller ID there was "I saw what you did, and I know who you are". Great early 60's flick.

One of my brothers took me to see The Legend Of Boggy Creek when I was about 5 years old. Never have been so freaked out in my life. And it was supposed to be based on a true story of a monster in a creek...I grew up not 300 feet from a boggy creek. Once the sun set I never ventured into that forest until I was about 14. Still creeps me out to think about it.

The timeperiod in itself is horror to me without even movies.

The first horror flick I ever saw was called 'the superstition' and was basically the only horror movie that scared me. Might have something to do with the fact that I was 8 and watching it from vcr at home alone and in secret.

Friday the 13th also scared me bad, not the movie itself but the end titles hand if you know what I mean.

I watched it late and started to doze off during the end titles. I was half asleep ready to close the eyes when Jasons hand broke out of the water.. I literally jumped.
