It's more a matter of just never looking into it, than consciously avoiding it.
I'll admit that I don't share may horror fans' reverance for it (I reserve that for Black Christmas which I consider a better, and more innovative, film.) but I still enjoy it.
I do like Donald Pleasence. He's from the same local area as me, so I've always been interested by him. Not to mention his work as Blofeld is one of the best Bond villains ever. And his work with George Lucas (THX 1138) has also helped endear me to him.
