Yes yes! I collected those rubber monster wiggly toys too!
I used to watch all the old black and white monster movies as a kid. And, I may have mentioned this before, but there were 2 movies that were played every year when I was a kid. "The Wizard of Oz" and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds", and it was a family event when they were on for me, mom, dad, bro and sis to watch them. We watched them every year. (Yah I know, the wizard isn't horror, but The Birds is.)
In school when we had to write short stories, I would often write about haunted houses and stuff like that. I guess it's in my genes.
