For me it was Event Horizon, that was scary as hell when I was a kid, I had nightmares for months.

    Nope, came out of my mother with a full grown beard.

    Jokes aside, I watched my fair share of horror films when I was younger. But mostly because I was fascinated by the special effects. Watching horror films with that mindset made them a lot less scary.

      We had strict film censorship laws when I was young, that was based on a law made in 1912. A government agency watched and age rated every film that was meant for public screening. Even films for adults 18+. Some films got banned (Life of Brian). Luckily they stopped doing this all together in 2001. Now the state censorship only applies to films directed specifically at children.

      In the early 90s I had watched so many “illegal” films despite the state censorship and what my parents said I was allowed to. I had friends with older siblings, and I had older siblings my self. I was never a horror film film, but I liked action, explosions and violence!
