I saw Alien on the Gridley back in 1979. It was showing on the mess decks, which was right below radio central. When the thing burst forth from the chest I said what you said - that's it. Got up and left. Later on I steeled myself to see the whole movie.

I thought Aliens was a lot better - maybe more of an action flick than horror. I saw the Exorcist when I was 13-14 years old and it did nothing. Same for The Shining w/Nicholson. If both were made like the books were, they would have been better.

The first Halloween movie was very scary. I do not think there is hardly any blood - if at all. The scene where Jamie Lee has stabbed Michael in the eye and he is dead on the ground. She is comforting the children and behind her you see him get up. That was scary to me!

This was not a movie but who remembers Night Stalker, the made for tv movie. That was suspenseful and scary.

It was a movie, and later a TV series, starring Darren McGavin, the father from "A Christmas Story."
