I was talking to one of my grand daughters tonight who knows I don't like horror or scary films and she asked which was the first horror I watched, when I was young we had a little local cinema a five minute walk from were I lived, The Aylestone that we all used especially on Saturdays for the matinee and as we entered our early teens we wanted to show how BIG we were and go to an X rated film because at the time I think you had to be 16 and we werent :)

The film was called The Tingler and me and a couple of friends walked home afterwards up what was called black pad (pitch black) and half way up there must of been a courting couple we couldent see and the guy said aye or something, we ran like the devil was chasing us and i'm pretty sure I left a mark in my underpants :)

ps: Even today when showering I keep one eye open having seen Psycho years ago, they do scare me :)
