Ewan McGregor was a teenager when he watched John Carpenter's horror classic "Halloween" and the actor says he was so traumatised that he avoided the genre for years.
The actor, who stars in "Doctor Sleep", sequel to 1980 film "The Shining", recalled an incident from his childhood that initially scared him away of horror movies.
"I watched 'Halloween' when I was about 13 or 14. I went away with a pipe band I played into Holland. We were playing in the streets of Den Bosch in Holland. One night, the people who had had us over there, in a little screening room, showed 'Halloween' to a bunch of kids. I don't know what they were doing! F***ing sadists!
