I was 12,and remember my parents renting it,and was super excited as I'd only just seen the original on television.As much as I loved the 1st one,this creeped me out a lot more,tho I did sneak down stairs the next morning before my parents awoke to watch it again.I always found the sequel a lot more darker, violent and bloody .Those dark empty hospital corridors,atmosphere of dread,and that red glow in the basement stayed with me for a while.
shareI watched it on VHS sometime around 1983 or 1984. After the first movie it didn't scare me much. The first one still remains the most frightening movie experience for me.
sharei was a kid...probably 8 or so...and definitely kept me up!
shareI watched it for the first time as an adult and it did not scare me.
shareI just turned 16, a year or two before that I was scared of my own shadow. However, by the time I saw this in 1981 this didn't phase me one bit. Funny, when I was 34 the end of Blair Witch Project startled me pretty good..and a few years later, when I was around 43 I was in a theater in South Korea, it had a very good and loud sound system..welp, about halfway through Paranormal Activity with all the loud sounds and eerie atmosphere..it caused me to RUN out of that theater. I even took my ticket back to the shocked Korean teen ticket girl and nodded my head no. God that was funny! Then I went to my dark, lonely apartment and got scared even more. I had a military post office box so I could order Netflix no problem. I resorted to renting Paranormal Activity DVD from Netflix and watching it in on my Car DVD system in mid daylight. I don't even think I took the DVD into my apartment. It's been fun being an unmarried man child but finally I started growing up around age 50, I guess better late than never.
