Mine started with a love for monsters. Some of my favorite movies as a kid were Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, Creature from the Black Lagoon and King Kong. It just gradually progressed from there. Thinking back on it, I can't really think of a moment when I realized I liked horror. It just seems to be in my blood.

i think the in the blood thing is waht i was trying to say/type............

pinhead-i am pain

I was forutnate enough to have 2 or 3 super cool babysitters when I was in the 6-10 range. Watched "scary" movies with me then, carried me to haunted houses...the very first horror I remember was the original Wolfman on Sat night cinema in about 1978 or so...it stuck and it is my favorite form of entertainment...movies, shows, haunted places, Halloween, etc...

Alot of damn monkeys on this forum.

I have started to love the horror when I saw the films of Dario Argento, above all Profondo Rosso and Phenomena, but I also remember other films as The Fog and Winged serpent. There are some film as The Exorcist and Baby Killer that I didn't succeed in seeing them to the epoch because my mother forbade me him.

I want to add
 

I want to add that I like any horror that shows me something different and makes me think, and horror that makes me wonder "what if?"

Episodes of the Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond and The Outer Limits got the ball rolling for me. My dad was hooked and me and my brother were along for the ride. Then he'd take us to see Christopher Lee and Vincent Price movies in the 70's.

It started after being a rebel and renting Pet Sematary when I was 12. Even with the lights on, it scared me to death. I hated all horror movies until I was 15 and literally forced myself to watch Scream, and immediately became addicted.
