People younger than 35, what was your gateway horror movie?
I've heard plenty from those who grew up in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, about watching classics as they came out.
But I'm interested in the experiences of those who first watched horror films in the 90s, 00s, or later.
I was born in 1990 and feel like I can trace my love of horror back to watching The Mummy (1999).
Other early influences include The Haunting (1999), Final Destination (2000), and Thirteen Ghosts (2001). These were the ones I remember liking anyway. I actually saw the Blair Witch Project in either 99 or 2000 but, for some reason, didn't really like it at the time. I now love it.
