Scary Movies

Supported by

What was your first, true afraid-to-do-anything-alone-afterward scary movie?

What do you remember about the experience: How old were you? Who did you watch it with? Did you have parental permission or were you sneaking a peek behind their backs? And just how terrified, unnerved or freaked out were you?

How has your experience stayed with you? Did it inspire a lifelong love of horror movies or did it leave you checking under your bed at night?
