I don't know if I saw more than a few minutes of that movie, my friends and I weren't very interested... plus I think there was sort of storm that cut the power in my neighborhood. I recall my parents saying that it was probably a good thing that we didn't watch it. I still haven't seen it.

I don't think I remember the first one I actually got in to see.

She also took me to see Animal House, I thought that was pretty cool of her.

I think I was 12. My girlfriend and I walked in the theater and everyone was sitting in the back so we sat in the middle, but I took the aisle seat. Some guy came and sat one seat away from Terri. Before the movie was over the perv had his pants around his ankles. I didn't notice because I was into the movie and not sitting next to the guy, but Terri informed me, I looked over and we ran out of there, in fact, we ran all the way home. I don't think I've seen the end of that movie to this day haha. Sickos!

I also saw the first "Nightmare on Elm St." at the drive-in as a kid. I was never kept from seeing R-rated films, though my cousins, who I've always been close to, were. We'd sneak and watch them sometimes, which probably had a lot to do with my obsession with telling people about movies. I remember my grandparents for some reason had "Humanoids from the Deep" recorded on VHS and we used to watch that all the time too.

In the summer of '72 (that's the 20th century, not the 19th), I was a teenager away from home and on his own for the first time in life. I was in upstate New York attending a conference for nerdy teens and went to see Hitchcock's "Frenzy" at the local Bijou. I remember being stunned. You have to remember that nudity and graphic violence were still novelties back them. So were prudish FCC standards, and there was no cable TV. I remember being stunned by what I saw (not only by the R-rated stuff) but by the sheer power of storytelling that persuaded me as a moviegoer to identify with the serial killer.
