Well I wasn't into horror as much as sci-fi when I was really young. My dad would lay on the floor and I would lay on his back and we would watch original Trek, and Next Gen. Iloved it and I think that's when I knew I would be a nerd my whole life. Once Next Gen got into borg territory my Mom told my dad I couldn't watch it because it was too scary. That was sort of the end of me and my Dad's close relationship.
Obviously that bothered me, so to spite my Mom I would always get Goosebumps books from the Library, and watch Are you Afraid of the Dark? Once I got a little older (about grade 4) I started reading a ton of Agatha Christie books. Then in about grade 6 it was Dracula, Frankenstein and a whole lot of Poe. I just wanted to read all the time.
Once I started highschool we got the Scream Channel, and every day I would rush home to watch Twin Peaks, and after that they always played a classic like The Omen or Rosemary's Baby. I have seen just about every horror movie that has come out since, but am missing a huge chunk of movies from the 70's. Too bad cause those scare me most.
So I guess this was less an inspirational story, and more a story about my horror origins being based on hatred. Oops.
