Wow! I watched a lot of movies, but I guess there are a few that I remember seeing multiple times when I was little. Sorry about posting too many, but I loved movies and I thought I was a ninja when I was little. : )
Yeah, the video store was on my way home from school so I'd stop and play pool with some older guys, play a few arcade games, walk to the video store and look through the movies and sometimes rent the same ninja movies over and over. Then I'd walk to the library and look at comic books and special order Samurai books that they would have to order just for me to look at, LoL! Then it would be dark in the winter and I would walk home in the snow and jump the fence by the church and tell myself "Only a real ninja can get across the church yard without being seen." Then I'd get home and maybe my dad was home from work by that time. So yes I was at the video store a lot, thanks for asking. : )
Sometime when I was somewhere between nine and twelve years old, I purposely sneaked downstairs very late at night (after my entire family was asleep) to watch these two movies after seeing ads earlier in the week for their showing on TV. (They weren't shown the same night - - I did this late-night watching plan at two different times.)
I watched both alone in the dark living room. Both movies absolutely terrified me. Both movies still scare me. :)

Bottom image -- "The Haunting" (1963) (the original) - - I never made it back to bed after this one -- I was so scared that I slept on the hallway floor outside my parents' bedroom

Now that I think some more -- (what a novel idea, thinking) -- my other answer - - I ALSO stayed up late and sneaked downstairs to watch "The Innocents" - - THAT one may have been the one where I never made it back to my bedroom and slept downstairs. :)
