CNN's Ode to Scary Movies You Watched Way Too Young

"When we were growing up, my parents often let us watch the TV shows and movies of our choice, regardless of whether the content would typically be deemed appropriate for our age. There were rules involved with this concession. We were allowed the privilege with the understanding that we would not use the language we heard in the movies in public and we would shield our own eyes during sexually explicit scenes. My parents generally accepted that we were hard kids to scare and weren't easily affected by darker themes. 'The Exorcist' was a big test of their theory that we could separate fact from movie fiction. Unfortunately, we failed it. I don't regret trying to watch it when I did, though. In fact, I developed a sort of love of the genre and movies that make my heart beat a little too fast and my palms sweat. What's childhood without a little mild movie trauma? Scary dull, that's what." - cnn.com
