I’m using “scare” a little loosely here, but I was waaaay to young to have seen clips of Alien when I did. It really fucked up to the point that I wasn’t able to sleep in pitch black into my adulthood. Nowadays, Alien is one of my favorite movies, specifically because it’s so scary, but I avoided horror movies like the plague at least up until high school
I can certainly watch that movie no problem now, and I wouldn’t say it scares me in the same way it did when I was little, but I wouldn’t love it as a horror movie if it wasn’t still one of the most frightening pieces of cinema
Alien was actually my first movie, although I was too young to remember. But I remember Aliens. That movie scared the shit out of me. I slept with the lights on for a long time. I still don’t like those movies.
