My obsession with horror movies started when I was 15-16. I used to buy any good horror movie on VHS tapes those days (Alien, Aliens, Evil Dead, Dawn of the Dead etc.) Gradually it shifted to DVDs and looking at the racks right now, I must say I ve shifted a lot towards horror than any other genre.
I used to love Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Jack Nicholson, Gregory Peck, Disney's comedies, touchy romances, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, out and out action flicks, space science-fiction etc. but of late all of their movies sit idly in the rack waiting for a spin, while I keep picking the horror movie DVDs and watch em. I go out to purchase new DVDs, and almost usually 75-80% of those turn out to be horror...with an occasional Scorcese or Tarantino thrown in.
For example, I went to the mart last weekend specifically to look for Apocalypse Now...a movie I ve longed to own on DVD...and came back with a handful of horror movies instead...:confused:
Even if a particular horror movie sucks...it ends up in my bought list...
Right now many classic or very popular movies are missing in my collection...but if you look for sucky horror movies...you ll inevitably find it there...
I m a fanatic I guess...:(
