I've loved watching monster movies since I was a kid watching tapes of classic Scooby-Doo episodes. I wanted something more, something real, so I worked my way up to films like Jurassic Park and American Werewolf.
The werewolf was the real hook though. I don't know why I love them so but I do. They got me hooked on monster flicks which got me into slashers which worked it's way into various others.
I mentioned in a different topic but I was actually quite a pansy as a child. I had weird interests like collecting dead animal parts (still collect skulls today), but I couldn't sit through the Mummy remake.
Movies have always been able to take a hold of me and pull me into their world. When the credits roll and I'm released from their grip, I realize with all the drama and darkness in my own reality, it's not NEAR as bad as it could be.
As an artist there's also many levels of creativity that I can enjoy from horror. Whither it be gore, creature design, or transformation, I'm always coming out inspired from them.
