Old Freddy Krueger scared the crap outta me when I was young. I think I missed that boat. I was too young for the first two movies, so the first one I saw was Dream Warriors. It was a really cool movie, and pretty freaky, but Freddy didn't scare me. I just thought he was gross. I later saw the first film and realized that if I had seen it when it came out, it would have scared me quite a bit.

Speaking of movies that horrified us as a kid... all I needed to see what the poster for Jaws and I've been terrified by sharks ever since. I don't get why people are scared of slashers, they don't scare me at all, it's just blood, how is that scary? Even if there's a weird, grotesque being like Freddy. I think the scary part is hoping that the killer won't come after you, and even though you know it's a movie, there's still the 'what if...?' factor.
