I saw alien in the theater in 1979 at 10 years old. Horrible decision, Dad.


Glad I'm not the only one. We always joked about it in our family.

Our Dad took us when we were all under 7 years old - 4 of us.

The youngest 3. My Dad told her the movie was really scary...so close your eyes. Halfway through the film, she turned to my Dad and said "when does it get scary?"

We were going to see Black Stallion or something but instead we got Alien. I don't think as a kid you can really appreciate the scariness of Alien. The Sci-fi, the ship, dialogue is in essence Alien to you...Wizard of Oz and the Wicked Witch is more scary to you at that point in life.

First movie I saw in theatres was the 101 Dalmatian remake with Glen Close. Dad snored thru it.

2nd movie was Alien Resurrection. I thought it was more cool than scary. My favorite VHS tapes to watch at home were Jurassic Park and Ghost and the Darkness so I guess I had some sociopathic fascination with predators hunting people at a young age
