I've never walked out of a movie. There's a few I WISHED I had walked out of though. One that comes to mind is "The Exorcist". I was only 11 at the time, and my mom had read the book a couple years prior to the film's theatrical release. She took both me and my sister to the movie. This was in 1973, I think and she didn't realize how intense and frightening this movie would be. Nobody did. The movie shocked and horrified many people. It scared the fire out of me. I remember sleeping with my bedroom light on for the next few weeks.
Another one was Jaws. It was an excellent movie, but again, it scared me to death. I was 13 when this movie hit the theatres. We took a vacation to Florida a month or two after I saw the movie, and just like many other people, I was scared to go into the water. I finally did, but only after much arm twisting from my mother.
I really don't have any problems sitting through a movie, no matter how bad it may be. I'll sit through it, and just make it a point to never watch it again. I really don't like those "slasher, blood and guts" movies such as "Friday the 13th" etc, so I don't go to those movies in the first place. I saw Halloween in 1978, but only because my friends pressured me to go. In fact, this was the very first movie I actually drove to. I had just received my driver's license about a month before. When I arrived home, mom and dad were both out to dinner with some friends, and I was the only one in the house. You can just imagine what was running through my mind. I spent the next two hours scared to death Michael Myers would pop out from around the corner and chase me out the front door.
Like I said, I don't like those kinds of movies!
