When I was like 3, I watched Nightmare Before Christmas and I'm now a horror fan lol

This isn't quite "horror", more thriller. But the first "scary" movie I watched was Spree. I only watched it because Joe Keery was in it, but it ended up being one of my favorites! That and Coraline lol.

Honestly not a big fan of horror movies and my best friend at the time wanted to change that. So he made me watch halloween, scream, hell fest, friday the 13th and texas chainsaw. So now i'm slowing getting into horror. Theirs still a couple of movies I REFUSE to watch tho lol

Child's Play

Starting off my horror journey, definitelygot into the spooky stuff with HalloweenTown and Scary Godmother (i was rlly young). 

During my preteen years, i was definitely obsessed with 90s horror (The Craft, Scream, Final Destination, Friday the 13th & Nightmare on elm street[technicallly the 80s]).

 Now i get rlly into psychological horrors ngl. Recently just watched Malevolent. Solid 8/10 could've thickened the plot a little but definitely recommend if you like a good plot twist. 

My Johnny Depp obsession in 2021. He's in nightmare on elm Street so I watch that and then watched a lot more horror after that

I guess my entryway to horror was the film Pet Semetary. (The old one, not the remake) I live with a family that didn't care if you were a toddler walking around the house, they would put the tv on full blast even while watching horror and in some cases slasher films when I was a kid. So very early on I had been exposed to alot of early 2000s horror films and horror series but the one I remembered the most was Pet Semetary because I watched it the night before my dog died. 

My grandad got me into horror movies at a every young age maybe 6 ever since then i loved classic horror films like Scream or Friday the 13th and even scarier movies.

My mom and dad got me into horror movies from a young age. I got used to them and I don't get scared that easy.

at a sleepover when i was 8 we found a childs play dvd and watched it. up until i was 10 i would watch horror movie scenes on youtube.

horror has always given me different emotions, ever since i saw chuky at an age too young to sincerely appreciate it. as a teenager, evil dead took me by surprise and i fell in love with horror, chainsaws and shotguns, and dungeons and survival horror and

My granny would always tell me her own horror stories growing up, which sparked my fascination with all things macabre. But it really kicked off when I convinced my parents to let me watch The Shining when I was 11 - ever since then, I was completely obsessed with the genre. 

I grew up as the youngest so I was exposed to a lot of horror media such as the left 4 dead franchise and I am Legend. But my love for horror really started when I played the resident evil games :))

I think the thing that got me into horror were those ghost hunting shows in Discovery channel I used to watch when I was like 9 years

I don't know the exact thing that got me into horror but I just always remember being so inrigued on why people did what they did. I think creepy pasta really stared it for me

i think the earliest i remember is some gothic childrens book abt the spider and the fly…. when i RLLLY got into it was 5th/6th grade thankz to r/nosleep 

my mom was a crazy horror fan and i grew up surrounded, i was scared lmao for a long time but i think creepypastas got me into it and grew from there

my mom was a crazy horror fan and i grew up surrounded, i was scared lmao for a long time but i think creepypastas got me into it and grew from their.

i think i stumbled upon making fiends when i was a kid and was totally obsessed! from there i went to invader zim, then ruby gloom, then begged my dad to let me watch chucky :-) my love for horror grew from then on!

i know those cartoons arent exactly horror shows, but it was a good introduction to odd/creepy media for kid me!!

I only pretty recently got into horror, but the thing that i remember getting me into horror was seeing Cupcakes during the pandemic. Somehting i can say definitely got me into horror though, was a combination of watching Chicago Med and indie horror gameplays. mostly ManlyBadassHero

When I was 7 (back in 1999), a small mom-and-pop corner videotape store was closing down. My mom left me with the family babysitter and gave me a few dollars to go get some VHS. I purchased The Hills Have Eyes II (1985) and The Slumber Party Massacre (1984) along with far less horrible things a 7-year old could see like the original Psycho. The lady working didn't care I was young and let me buy them. So when my mom picked me up later in the day, she was shocked. Luckily, she was chill and a huge fan of scary movies so at that moment, I became a fan too. I still have those tapes too! 

so basically, when my mom was pregnant with me, all she watched were horror movies. i've been surrounded by horror all my life, i like the genre even more than my mom currently. she's faint-hearted. plus i had unsupervised internet access and got obsessed with creepypastas, spooky games, true crime vids, args, etc

The Blob, saw it on a 90's movie channel when I was 6. I still think it was a cool concept to make a movie about, it gives you that ick feeling.

It was my mother lol. She always loved ghosts n ghouls n ghastly movies so she brought me to every horror movie with her and I loved it. Granted her taste is terrible and I'm trying to enjoy better horror movies now. Like she didn't think The Forest was good at all (yeah its not mind blowingly good lmao but I loved it still), but it didn't do terrible with audiences. But all in all, it was my mama

right when i turned 12 i thought ghostface looked cool, so i watched scream. it kind of evolved from there.

I think I always had a prescribed fascination with horror since from an early age I witnessed paranormal things, in addition to my early access to the internet (5 years old) where I saw nothing but disturbing horror videos (in special for such a young child)

It was about 5 years ago, I was watching IT with my mom and brother. At first I was really scared but then at one point I started finding some scenes funny so the whole movie just became a comedy to me. Then I just started having an obsession for horror movies for the thrills and laughd

my mom is a massive horror nerd and one day when i was a toddler she put on the bride of chucky to try and get me to shut up and shocker it worked 

I used to be scared of them when I was little but when I got into my preteen years and started getting into makeup I started being fascinated by special effects in horror films and so I started watching more and more and watching documentaries and  reading articles on horror films to learn more about special effects in horror films, now I'm on my way to be a makeup artist and get into special effects for horror films myself! I also just really love Halloween LOL! 

the first time we got into horror was probably back when we were kids, my mom would watch criminal minds (we know that's not horror) but it got us into all that stuff, and made us super curious, but what really started it too was resident evil the games, zombies and all that good stuff :D

honestly, the adrenaline you get from watching your first scary movie makes you want more. It's like your first time getting on a rollercoaster, you know? 

as a kid, i always been fascinated by somewhat creepy games. fnaf, undertale's no mercy route, etc. what got me truly into horror were indie games that were genuinely terrifying for me to play. ib, needy streamer, yume nikki, omori, those titles made me realize that horror could be another form of exploration

When I was a kid, there was this guy in my hometown named "Pug" who was like an uncle to everybody. Anytime the kids showed up in town and he was around he'd start telling us the story of "Mad Man Mars" - an axe wielding maniac stalking the Western Kentuckian woods, brutally murdering anyone who came on his land. That's what I think planted the seeds - that and looking at all the covers of the movies in the horror section at the old video rental store downtown before it shut down.

I still tell people the story of "Mad Man Mars" from time to time, gotta keep the legend alive somehow.

I honestly got into horror during the worst years of my life when I was bullied a lot. I found horror comforting in a strange way. I always have been very curious about the world, and the occult, even before I really got into horror. Sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me. I really like horror with a lot of melancholy undertones. I actually enjoy feeling existential dread sometimes, and seek it out. 

Honestly been into horror my whole life due to my dad being a horror fan and a statue collector so we've always had like a room dedicated to horror memorabilia along with other interested. Ive been going to horror conventions for as long as I can remember like I have lots of pictures of me at like age 6 in front of some crazy shit. I still go to this day which is really nice my most recent con I met felissa rose from sleep away camp which was like my dream for the longest time tbh.

A Billy Loomis edit lmao

coraline. it’s still my all time favorite movie and when i was younger id always try to have friends watch it with me but they’d always be too scared lol. i don’t even remember when i first saw it because i was super young but after that i got superrr into spooky stories and horror movies. i still watch it over and over again <3

Unrestricted internet access and creepypastas, I may have watched stuff I probably shouldnt have but I love horror now

got into horror films because of creepy pastas that genuinely scared the living hell of me, and i realized i like the feeling of being scared, my favorite scenes from horror movies is the ones that give you the suspense.

the only reason i love horror was because when i was around 8 i started to watch true crime and it got me invested into horror/ scary things.

bruh i remember watchin final destination when I was like 3 or 4. I can vividly remember the ladder scene. and sense then i just been into horror. my grandmother use to take me on walks through graveyards and read when and how all these different people died throughout history buried right under us.   

Ive always had a thing for darker stuff, but it was definterly Scary Stories to tell in the Dark, Saw, and Nightmare on Elm street. I watch/read them when I was in elemntary and my passion for horror grew ever sdince lol. 

my dad was a huge horror fan and my mom enjoys it too! i just kinda grew up raised by giant nerds that exposed me to it at an early age. i remember seeing the haunting in theaters when i was like 5. 

 i was never a big horror fan until like last year. my s/o made me watch The Thing with her and then we played an indie horror game together and i guess something in me just flipped because now i'm even a bigger horror fan than her

edit: though it might've helped that i watched Final Destination at a young age.... forgot about that

started watching them at a young age with my two brothers and iv'e loved them ever since .

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS

IT, my parents let me watch that when I was like 8

now I have a hyperfixation on Scream and can't think in anything but movie quotes

I got into horror maybe in elementary school(?)

I got free access to the internet at an early age so, that should explain a lot (￢_￢;)
