The Matrix (1999)

Never got worked up about Aliens or other gore as a kid but that scene in Crocodile Dundee where the croc suddenly jumps out had me checking under my bed for months.

I don't quite remember, but the first rated R movie I saw in theaters was T2, Unforgiven, or Tombstone. My dad really liked westerns. Honestly don't even remember if I saw T2 in theaters or just watched it a shitload at home on VHS.

Pretty sure Nightmare on Elm Street was my first R rated movie, I was probably like 7 years old at the time. Woke up with nightmares for a week after heh.

scariest movie i saw as a kid was probably the shittiest movie made in the 70s. it was called Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark
i think Sam Raimi remade it a while back, but holy shit that first one gave me serious nightmares. it was about this stupid bitch who moves into a new house and she wants to renovate it. there is this one section thats closed off behind a wall. the handyman or neighbor is like, bitch, leave that shit alone. but because she's a stupid whore, she opens it up and then unbricks a fireplace. which for some reason is full of monsters who only come out in the dark. i really dont remember much else except that they fuck her shit up and put her ass in the fireplace to eat her or whatever. i saw this when i was 5 and my dad had just bought a new house and we moved there the same year as this movie. my dad mentions one of the walls in the parlor has an old fireplace behind it. thats when the nightmares started. i had a dream i can still remember over 40 years later. those little green motherfuckers were all surrounding my bed talking about taking me down to the fireplace. i woke up screaming, i told my mom about it and it reminded me of the movie dad let me watch with him.

he was in the doghouse for a while because of it. he was always doing shit like that. every vampire, frankenstein, wolfman, mummy, space alien ,slimy creature movie that came on Chiller Theater, he would offer me a choice. "Charles, you can either go to bed or you can stay up and watch this movie with me." i always picked the scary movie because bedtime was 630-7pm. one time he put on The Exorcist and that was too much, even for him, he was like, "uh yeah, you cant watch this movie." years later i was talking to my mom about watching movies with him. she said, "he was just as scared as you. he didnt want to watch them alone and i didnt want to see those scary movies, so he picked you." hah

Escape from LA or Starship Troopers I think were the first R's I saw in a theater, but as for TV... fucking 'Congo' gave me nightmares and is the only movie to ever really do so. Murdering silver gorilla's throwing heads at people, god that shit was frightening growing up.

For a second I thought you were talking about Are You Afraid of the Dark from Nick

Quicksilver episode was pretty scary for a kid iirc


"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" The Tale of the Quicksilver (TV Episode 1994) - IMDb

I can't recall the first R movie in the theaters but I do remember being a little kid and seeing the Stephen King movie Cat's Eye and it giving me nightmares and shit.

I really enjoyed that segment as a kid. Once I grew up a bit the Quitters Inc. part really resonated with me (fuck cigarettes). Plus it had my boy James Woods!

Chucky and The Relic scared the shit out of me when I was growing up, but I remember Congo being scary as hell, too. My mom thought it was hilarious to tell me that we had gorillas in the trees after that movie. She also used to yell "Don't let the ghoulies get your weiner!" when I was in the bathroom, after we saw Ghoulies.

Hearing the name Steven Segal always gives me a half-chubby because it instantly makes me think of Erika Eleniak & her tatas popping out of a cake in "Under Siege".

might wanna link to that instead of inserting it in the post, can't have nudes outside of SS forum even if it's spoilered

Hmm I thought Jaws was R. But nope PG. Scared the shit out of me at age 5. Didnt help that one of my big sisters put a toy shark in the toilet after the movie either. Bitch.

I think my first R was Porkys. Age 11. Peephole scene and The Howler. But I was with my sisters. So I only got to enjoy parts of it while being really weirded out.

Also would have sworn Jaws was rated R. Nope.

Can't remember first R rated movies outside the theater but my first-ever horror flick was likely The Thing. Either on cable or vhs. Never been one to get scared by monsters and shit like that. Prefer the unsettling Changeling/Shining kind. But man, The Thing was some weird shit. The Fly back then was fucked up as well.

A lot of those 70s and 80s PG movies would be PG13 now.

Pretty sure there was a decent amount of nudity in 80s PG movies; Beastmaster comes immediately to mind. I watched that movie -every- time it came on Showtime or HBO or whatever my parents were paying for. Rip Torn with a fake nose is the height of hilarity. Plus it has the weird dragon/shower curtain people who turn bad guys into soup. Just a great flick.

I take it back, Chuk. 80s was the best decade.

the upside of 70s and 80s nudity, was the tits. almost all those chicks had real boobies. the downside was the beavers. some chicks had giant bushes and even if they were naked, you didnt see much. a man could get lost in there. i think porn started the hairless trend. just another reason why porn is the best thing in the history of mankind.

Probably Die hard: with a vengeance.
With my dad.

Someone posting Robocop reminded me. Gym class as a kid, if you recall, they would usually pick a sport or whatever and you'd play that for a couple weeks or month or whatever, before moving to the next. When I was in like 3rd or maybe 4th Grade, we had an "interpretive dance" section, which I thought was stupid, so I figured I would choose a topic I'd like. I convinced the two other kids in my group (who hadn't seen the movie), that we would do an interpretive dance of the movie Robocop where we basically acted out the scenes but tried to make it dance-like. If I recall I chose the scene where Murphy gets gunned down for the first part of the dance, then the rebuilding scene as the 2nd, then Murphy getting revenge as the 3rd. I had a Def Leopard tape that we ended up using for the sound track (lol).

The teachers judging the dance didn't like the subject matter and thought we didn't dance enough or whatever, do I didn't get a good grade on our project. Was totally worth it, though.

Probably explains why in 6th Grade, when we had to do a project that would get people to read, me and my friend made a video of basically the plot of Terminator 2, but the T-1000 wanted to kill Sarah Connor before she could learn to read. We never explained why lol.
