Well, this is an old thread, but it is still going strong so I thought I would reply. My first R rated movies were The Exorcist (1973) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) double feature at a drive-in in my hometown. It was around Halloween, and it was "Oldies Night". My uncle took me, I was 7.
The Exorcist scared me, but TCM freaked me out for weeks. I had nightmares about Kirk's death with the hammer, that was just brutal! I should say that the same uncle gave me my first drink of beer, put me to work at age 10 helping him remodel his house, and made me go back and fight the first bully that ever picked on me. I miss that man. And, TCM is still one of my favorite old school horror movies.
