My dad used to watch horror movies when he was supposed to be watching me, then fall asleep the couch with the movies still going. I don't watch horror movies at all as an adult, I can't handle them, but here's a list of the ones I can remember that I got exposed to while dad was sleeping:

Scanners

Cat's Eye

The Thing

Any old Twighlight Zone episode

The Lost Boys

Gremlins

Whatever show that was with Elvira

There was some show with a talking skeleton at the beginning all the time, I forget what it's called

Needless to say, ANY horror movie scares me, and i avoid them all, even the "funny" ones

The talking skeleton show was "Tales From the Crypt."

The skellyboi was the crypt keeper.

Holy shit you saw The Thing as a kid!? That's hardcore. I got nightmares when I watched it as an adult.
