We all have those films from when we were kids. You know the ones your parents told you not to watch so you had to secretly procure them from your mates?
Grew up in the UK during the Video Nasties controversy when movies like Driller Killer, Cannibal Apocalypse, The Exorcist and Evil Dead were all banned on home video. Managed to see pirate copies of all of them at far too young an age which probably mentally scarred me for years afterwards 😁
The first two were, and still are, nonsense but disturbing nonsense. The last two remain classics
It is a fantastic movie. I mentioned the blood test scene in another thread/note recently. It holds up so well. Let's not talk about the remake, though.
I grew up when the internet was just becoming mainstream and so lived through the surreal marketing of Blair witch. *Was* it just a film? I remember thinking. That notion alone scared me a lot.
The Ring somewhat, too, though of course that's in part due to what the content of the film is.
Hellraiser is fantastic. A really grimy and gritty horror movie. Barker should have directed more movies but I think his experiences on Nightbreed soured him on the whole process
Blair Witch was the most original thing horror movies had done for a while. The final scene is still really unsettling
It is totally okay to laugh at me for this, but honestly it was Jurassic Park for me. That feeling of horror that the actual physical DVD was in the house? Yeah, Jurassic park. Looking in all the shadows for demons? Nope, it was raptors for me.
I might be a bit of a baby when it comes to the horror genre!

I snuck into the living room during the Meat Hook scene in The Thing as a kid. I still remember it today 🤣
Excellent 😆
Well, as it’s the greatest movie ever made, I think watching it at any age is acceptable 😃

Yeah. I can watch all kinds of horrific stuff but them cutting their thumbs with the scalpel still makes me queasy every time 🤢
Blair witch, definitely, hellraiser definitely.
