I have always loved stories about the supernatural, I do not remember which movie went from being a child's movie about the paranormal or some adventure flick to being horror. I think perhaps the first real horror film I saw was The Firestarter, though it could have been some vintage black and white vampire movie to. I think I was 11 when I saw Coppola's Dracula and I think I saw Firestarter before that.
I do not think it was one character that made me love horror. I just love stories about the supernatural and such stories often are horror. Come to think about it it might be those early books and cartoons with ghost and vampire and witch characters which laid the foundation for the love I have for horror today. That being said my earliest horror memory is from I was about a year old or so when my mother watched something with floating eyeballs, it obviously scared me, but fascinated me as well as I spoke about those floating eyeballs for years to come.

I saw a man's face being crushed by a lift I still to this day have no idea what film it was. Funny how a gruesome image lingers with you.
Floating eyeballs? The House Of the Katakuris?

As for reading I love old supernatural..I much prefer MR James/William Hope Hodgson/AC Doyle and Lovecraft to modern authors (not that I don't enjoy them too) Last edited by Ferox13; 03-04-2011 at 12:28 AM.

[QUOTE=Ferox13;887551]I've been always old school about horror and as a Kid the Universal and then Hammer got me into the genre. As I got older I loved the gritty look of TCM and last house. I think I've always been a few generations behind.
Me too. Love the Universal and Hammer horror films. TCM does put some good horror films on too!

The horror channel showed an uncut version of I Spit On Your Grave which I believe is still banned so it wouldnt surprise if TCM was slipped onto the schedules-stranger things have happened :)

My 1st was probably the Return of the Living Dead
2 characters really Being a young boy at the time, Linnea Quigley's character made me love nudity in horror movies. Secondly, that Zombie in the basement scared the **** out of me. It haunted me for years, but at the same time I loved it. Watched it again recently, for the 1st time in around 20 years. This time around it's just laugh out loud funny. Great to rekindle my affection for Linnea also

Classic flick that hellraiser I also adore Hellbound the sequel I think it is very underrated. I think after that it went downhill though.
