What was the first horror movie that you remember watching?
In my case, it was a TV movie called Don't Go To Sleep that I saw when I was about 8 years old.. From that moment on, I was a horror fan.. Decades later, I looked it up on IMDB (which took quite a while since I didn't remember the exact title) & found, strangely enough, that it even has a cult following..

I think that the 1958 film, The Fly, may have been the first horror flick that I saw in its entirety. My early childhood horror memories are fragmented to say the least, but I do possess vivid memoires of this particular experience. I was 5 years old and spending the weekend at my grandparents with some older cousins. With a little persuasion...I was given permission to stay up late with the big kids to watch the "Chiller Thriller" on a local television channel. I remember fighting the urge to abandon the film during each commercial break. The classic ending of the film (spider attacks the poor man-fly trapped in the web...help me, help me!) blew my mind and destroyed any chance of a good night sleep ever. I've been a horror junkie ever since.

The Evil. House with a gateway to hell in the basement. Two things still stand out the guy cutting through his hand with the power saw and another victim sinking into the front yard while the gargoyles laugh evilly.
Haven't checked to see if its on dvd yet.

My baptism came in the seventies when I'd stay up with my mum and watch the classic Universal and Hammer Horror films. I'm sure she coined the phrase "Remember, it's only a movie" long before Wes Craven did.
Consequently, I don't know what the first film would have been; I just remember the Saturday night experience of watching the film in a state of heightened tension and then slowly climbing the stairs to bed, wondering what would be at the top to greet me.
After those, two others stick out in my mind: the Salem's Lot two-parter and Halloween. Both of those scared me in a way Karloff and Lee never could and I think it was at that point that I realised certain films did not want to meet you halfway, they really did want to cause you serious distress.
Mention must be made of my first experience with TCM. I was thirteen when I saw a suitably grainy copy at a friend's one school lunchtime. This blew away everything I'd seen before because it didn't even feel like a film; I genuinely wondered if I was watching a documentary, which made me even more unsettled.

My first film was only three years ago when I was 13.
It was Freddy Vs. Jason, and then I saw the TCM remake about two weeks later.
