What inappropriate movies did you watch as a kid?

I received a copy of The Terminator for Christmas when I was 7 or 8. My mom used to sometimes, while Christmas shopping, buy a thing or two that was really for herself, but put it under the tree for us kids. I have no idea why. Needless to say, I watched the hell out of that movie, and it’s still one of my favorites.

Jaws traumatized me at 6. I remember being unable to watch Quint’s death for years specifically because of the blood coming out of his mouth. I could not fathom as a child how a person could be eaten from the feet up, and be bleeding out the mouth before the shark’s teeth were anywhere near it.

“The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!”

I was about eight years old. The local neighborhood theater had a defective lock on one of the fire exits. I snuck in to see Psycho, and then had to walk home alone in the twilight.

It was a scary walk.
