basic instinct came out when i was 12 and going through puberty. i saved up money and bought it on vhs immediately when it came out without my parents knowing. the inside of socks in 12 year old sidis' bedroom are still suffering from ptsd.

Alien. 9 years old, at my aunt's house bc she had HBO and we couldn't afford it so i'd scored big time... on a pallet alone in the living room, all the adults in bed.

not a good idea 😳

I'll take this a different direction and say "The Color of Money". I was 10 when it came out, my mom loved Paul Newman and it had Maverick in it so we saw it.  At 10 years old the concept of hustling was WAAAAAAAY over my head.  I kept sitting there trying to figure out why Fast Eddie was so pissed at Vince for beating ass.  I had watched Tom Cruise kick some ass in an F-14 a few months prior and didn't get why he shouldn't be kicking ass here.

I bet I was six or seven when I first saw Excalibur and the sex scene between Uther in full plate mail and Igraine.  It was a long time before I realized that’s not really how one performs the act.  
 

Also had parents who didn’t really police watching HBO back when it was the only premium cable available and saw pretty much all of the late 70’s/early 80’s horror before I was in second grade.

Jaws when I was 11. Led to pretty much a lifelong fear of the ocean. 

That movie turns 50 this coming June and it still rocks.  I like watching YouTube reactors watching it for the first time( which is actually believable for a movie of that age and these young reactors) and the gnarly parts still get everyone. The head in the boat jump scare makes every single one yell.

I saw Fire in the Sky when I was 9. Scared the shit out of me. 

Probably better places in the unpopular movie opinion thread, but Fire in the Sky has one of the unsung all-time best casts.

Snakeman did scare me. 

The first scene where the president is walking around a post apocalyptic city, opens a closet door, then several nuked kids reach out for him -- I think I pissed my pants.

Altered States in the theater at age 7. I eventually had enough so my mom and I left to hang out in the lobby of the theater while my dad finished the movie. 

I was maybe 12 or 13 when I saw that in the theater.  Fucked me up good.

My dad's oldest brother has eight kids, the seventh is my age. One night I was over there spending the night. This was the very early days of cable but I had to be at least 9 or 10 based on this movie coming out in 1981 -- I thought it was older. At any rate, we watched it one night and I made my cousin's leave the lights on in the room when it was bedtime. And I still didn't get a wink of sleep that night. Not a big fan of horror movies to this day.

Watched Rosemary's Baby when I was 7. Not sure of my mom's thought process on letting me watch that.

That’s near the top of my list.  I saw The Exorcist when I was 16 and it completely freeked me out.

Watched The Shining with my parents when I was about 11 or 12. What the fuck were they thinking? Scared the ever-living shit out of me.

Was even younger when I saw Poltergeist. Maybe third grade. Also with my parents. What the fuck were they thinking?

At the same time, I loved horror movies as a kid in the 80s, and there were so many damn good ones. Something inside of me has always gotten a thrill over being terrified. It’s probably why I kept going to Longhorn football games during the Charlie Strong era.

Saw this when I was 12-13 when I went to Chicago to camp.  2 weeks after camp, family vacation in Pensacola.  Dad rented a catamaran and took me to sail the bay and dumped it in the middle of the bay. That was a good 20 minute absolute panic attack as dad tried to flip it back over and me trying to walk on water... Two other boats came up to see who died from all my screaming and dad not knowing how to right it...

To this day, I can't wade or bodyboard in the surf unless there is at least one person further out than me in the surf... (not that it would matter, but still...)

Holy shit I saw that in the theater too (my cousin and I would always get people to buy us tix to movies we weren't old enough to see).  Damn, I don't recall what it was even about, but I remember running out of the theater.
