RE: You may be in luck then...

What scared me in The Ten Commandments was the killer green fog.

Scar was scary as Hell in The Searchers and when John Wayne scalped him I freaked. Even then (I was seven) I knew that sometimes Americans scalped Indians but to see it on the screen was shocking.

Seeing the road show version of Ben Hur in 1959 was when I became aware of hi-fi. When I heard the blasts of the overture's opening fanfare, reproduced magnetic multi-track through (presumably) Altec A4s or A2s I was hooked. Hell, I still prefer big Altecs over all other speakers and any system must pass the Ben Hur test to be first rate in my book.
