Horror Movies

Prompt: Horror Genre
Do you like the horror genre, and what was the first scary movie you saw or the scary book you read if you remember it?

I love writing horror stories but can't watch horror movies! I go back a long way and like all teenagers I liked being scared out of my wits, but safely, with a strong pair of arms to shield me.
Vincent Price movies were popular in my day. The Pit and the Pendulum, The Hand and others of the same ilk. Later came Psycho, The Birds and anything directed by Alfred Hitchcock. But the slasher movies of today such as the Chainsaw Massacre and Saw, well, there's no way I could even begin to view those.
I don't mind psychological horror movies such as, Seven with Brad Pitt.
