I remember watching The Thing, which I still find pretty chilling, as a little kid. The first few minutes, despite the presence of the actual Thing, scared the everliving crap outta me. Then I went to the kitchen during a commercial break (actually, when I was a kid, they had way fewer commercial breaks) and started eating some pizza. I was still scared to death when the Thing first appeared, but at least all the half-chewn-up pizza and assorted popcorn bits went on my sister and dad.
