The very first English horror movie I remember is Evil dead and the absolute hype surrounding it. There were stories of people dying of heart attacks after watching that movie. We borrowed a deck player to watch the movie. I don't remember much but I remember a girl pulled by the vines and someone's feet with cracks on the sole. What is your first horror movie that you remember?
The first one that was deliberately a horror film that I can recall is seeing the very start of Aliens on tv and getting to the point where the soldiers discover the woman who gets chestburst, then immediately shutting the tv off and going to bed.
There must have been some scary childrens movies along the way but thats the first one I can remember that was too much for me.
