9. When I was a teen in the 1960s, it was the horror film Blood Feast

I think it has the reputation of being the first gore film. I saw it at a drive-in on Halloween and it made me sick for days. It's probably considered tame by today's standards but it did have a lot of blood and the representation of human organs being removed from live victims. I'm not a gore fan although I love horror movies. I prefer horror movies that are atmospheric and where the horror is just suggested. But i don't think any film today could really disturb me, not the way it could when I was a kid.
