My dad did this too! It was more like he would just leave them on the TV, though, and not as much having me sit down with him to watch. It kinda let me tap out whenever, but boy did I get real scared at times.
I remember when Signs was on once, that one got me. Anything that vaguely sounded like clicking at night would have me sweating, haha. We had this fish tank and the filter noises from it would keep me up for hours just listening in case it was an alien.
All that said, I remember those things as a quirky and kinda fun memory now, and probably was what got me into scary movies as an adult.
I was about 5 when my dad had me watch Candyman 2 with him. I wouldn’t go in front of a mirror for over a year afterward.
