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?
Mine was 'The Green Slime,' a Japan/Italy/US production that I saw when I was 4 or so. Wasn't really that scary, but it was my first introduction to the theme of 'microorganisms as monsters.' Later, when I was about 10, my dad took me to see 'Alien.' Both these movies really rammed home the importance of good hygiene, lest that infection grow into a planet-devouring monster.
