Living Through Horror - The Safe Zone
I decided to start a thread where bashing people, putting people down, and arguing is not permitted. Just a nice thread where you share stories of experiences related to horror that you remember fondly. Nothing too Earth shattering and this thread may die after the first post but what the hell. Even I won't be busting any chops in this thread.
Hmmm, I guess to start I can honestly say it's always been pretty cool to know that, when my mom was pregnant with me (fairly far along) she went and saw Dawn of the Dead and it left an impression on her. She didn't tell me about that until AFTER she found out Dawn of the Dead was my favorite horror flick.

I think this thread is a good idea! I think that happens alot my mom was really into snicker bars and olives (together) and those are the same things i crave now during pregnancy and just as a everyday snack.

This thread should be renamed "Chicken Soup for the Horror Fans Soul":D
I remember the first R horror movie I got caught watching that I wasn't supposed to. Lost Boys. Still love that movie.

I'm not sure how old I was- 12 or 13 I imagine- and my parents gave me a book entitled Tales of the Uncanny and Supernatural by Algernon Blackwood. I was already a died in the wool horror fan so this big heavy hardback book delighted me. Some of the stories were hard to understand as the language was somewhat archaic, but that only made things more interesting. I loved the stories and remain a fan of Mr. Blackwood's to this day.

Seeing bits and pieces of Let's Scare Jessica To Death scared me. I've been hooked ever since. I used to be totally mesmerized by Dracula. Now, it's the character that Dracula is supposedly based on that's recently made me curious. I watched a movie about him but I don't remember the name of it. (Prince of Darkness, maybe?) Anyway, it was made for television. I've done lots of research on Vlad, the Impaler. Interesting yet disturbing...

When I was eight or nine my brother and I went to see the Haunting (the original) and scared witless as I was when that thick wooden was bending waaaay in I was hoping and praying it would break open letting the unimaginable rush in. Horror and kids are made for each other.:)

When I was very young, after having my love for horror activated by tons of ghost story books and lots of classic horror films, my dad tracked down an old 8mm projector that his grandmother had lying around, along with some 5-minute versions of Universal classics. He threaded them up and screened them for me. Needless to say I was thrilled. I don't even think I blinked until the lights came back on.

Wow, that's really strange. While my mum was pregnant with me she went and saw Jurassic Park and that's my favorite film!
