Haha Deadly...

The Universal horror films got me into the genre. On BBC2 there used to be a double bill on a Friday night when I was a kid. The first film was usually an older BW film (often Universal but coulda been some skid row quickie too) - the 2nd was usually a coolour film - a lot of AIP and Hammer.

I usually fell asleep before the end of the 2nd one. I used to be so pissed waking up in bed missing the film...So my first love was Universal films and Lon Chaney Jr (it wasn't for a while til I switched to Karloff)..
