For me, it was the exorcist, even though I was around 17 at the time. I've never really been scared by movies. I'm like HaiGan. Always looking for the strings and checking the make-up. I LOVE BAD horror and gore movies. I laugh myself silly at them. I did see a BBC play when I was a kid which scared me. It was from an Edgar Allen Poe short story about kids, but I can't remember the name. Glad to see Ridley Scott getting well-deserved praise for Alien and Legend. And don't forget his other classic movie, Blade Runner. He used to do TV commercials in the UK before he directed movies, (in fact, his brother still does), and it shows. Great atmosphere and attention to detail is the secret. mac
