Remember watching Robocop when I was 5 or something on VHS. That bit where ed209 kills the guy after being first revealed FREAKED ME OUT! ... had to cover my eyes from the scene lol.

Also remember watching Predator around the same time. Freaking ... me ... out.

your stories?

chillywilly · 04-03-2011 05:08AM

Yup, I used to poo myself watching IT as a kid.

14 and was watching Kill Bill from 07. I don't watch it for the violence but just the story line and how it's played out. <--- Film Buff

Saw all the greats before I was 10, the terminators , predators , Aliens etc etc.

Never got scared, was when my parents wouldn't let me watch them that I'd get scared, kids imagination is far worse then anything hollywood can do. I understood I was watching actors even at that age.

What did scare me was shows like unsolved mysteries , alien abductions and so on cause of the whole 'this really happened in RL' vibe off them.

I mean listen to this feckin music!

You should put a warning on that video for people who are watching it alone in the dark at half 4 in the morning!

Kiera · 04-03-2011 08:36AM

My parents wouldnt let me but i remember my mates older brother making us watch Nightmare on Elm street when we were about 8. Was convinced Freddy was under my bed for years after that

Dravokivich · 04-03-2011 08:57AM

I vaguely remember watching the oriingal version of "the fog" when i was a kid between 5 - 8 years old.

My favourite bit was

when the priest was cut in half by a big seaweed with a broadsword

Aglomerado · 04-03-2011 09:05AM

There was a small cinema close to where I lived when I was growing up, no age restrictions applied... got in to see Robocop when I was 10 and still remember the melty toxic waste bit! The local video shop was the same, my love of "nasties" was well known.

galwayrush · 04-03-2011 09:21AM

Bambi, freaked me out for ages afterwards.

Joey the lips · 04-03-2011 09:29AM

18's movies were my first sex education demo's

Then i had to put them into practice.

My first relationship was a fail when on the first date i opened with

"I'm gonna fcuk you up the ass bitch"

I started watching Love actually and prity women after that.

I am still with the prostitute.

TanG411 · 04-03-2011 10:04AM

I liked watching the Halloween series, except for three because that's sh*te.

seamus · 04-03-2011 10:12AM

All the time. In my house, the age rating was an advisory rating and nothing more. I know plenty of people whose parents wouldn't let them watch 18's movies when they were 16 though.

Batman came out when I was 8, had a 15 cert. I watched that. Gremlins came out when I was 2 - I think it had an 18 cert originally. I saw it when I was 6 (loved it!)

CrazyRabbit · 04-03-2011 12:12PM

I remember staying up late and watching C4. Some of the programmes/films they showed back then were practically porn. I used to love that channel.

westies4ever · 04-03-2011 12:15PM

being the youngets in my house i saw loads of 18 movies. my older brothers were well into video nasties in the 80's. i saw the evil dead when i was 6 - that terrified me for weeks. nightmare on elm st was the worst - i stayed awake all night sitting on the bedroom floor - i was convinced my bed was going to eat me! saw it not so long ago and i cant believe it scared me so much!!

bm365 · 04-03-2011 12:19PM

Now I have a machine gun.
HO HO HO

o1s1n · 04-03-2011 12:24PM

When I was about 9 or 10 I really wanted to watch Robocop. So my mam taped it off the tv one night.

I sat down all excited, ready for the gore everyone in school had been telling me about. Murphy is about to be blown to bits...the tape skips! back the video comes, it's about to get gory again, and it happens again! wtf?

The oul wagon had censored out all the nasty bits. Her own home version of the BBFC.

D1976 · 04-03-2011 12:25PM

Saw this when I was about 10, frightened the bejesus out of me.

A truely horrific film when you're a kid. Stayed with me a long time.

saintsaltynuts · 04-03-2011 12:29PM

I remember watching The Fly(1986) when i was about 8.I was cackin meself,i was sitting there with the biggest rolled up newspaper saying.."Come near me you little focker"....

pragmatic1 · 04-03-2011 12:31PM

Was allowed to watch pretty much what I liked unless it was porn or something. Kids are too mollycoddled these days.

The Fog was a AA rated film - you wous!

Sadly I was almost old enough to vote by the time home video became the norm, but I saw some X-rated stuff at the flicks and on telly every now and again.

Seamus, Gremlins was a 12 cert dispite all the splatter!
