When did you realize you liked horror?

Hi Everyone,
My wife asked me when I started watching horror flicks.
It took me awhile to think about it.
I remember being terrified of "Freddie" as a kid.
I couldn't watch it.
It took me a few days to actually remember when I first started watching them.
How about you?
When did you start watching?

Watching the first Poltergeist movie in the basement by myself. Needless to say, my fear of clowns played a part in how scared I was, but it was still awesome!

My brother chained me to the couch and ran a cheese grater across my face as he made me watch House... I guess that was about 1986?

i don't really remember when i actually "fell in love" with horror. i just remember always loving it. according to my mom though, Halloween was the first horror movie i ever saw. so i guess it was then.

I don't remember exactly when either, I remember loving the old monster movies when I was a kid. My mom told me that I once said that "I liked the way my stomach felt" while watching horror movies, and I don't recall that at all. So, its been just about my whole life apparently.....;)

As long as I can remember...the early 70's...when I was a wee tyke my folks had this children's encyclopedia thing. And in the M volume was this article on "masks" and there were some pictures of ugly monster masks...I mean wicked, BUTT-UGLY cool masks. I always used to go to that section and look at the pictures. After that, all that shit was cool. Rubber monster wiggly toys in the store, monster movies on TV, all that monster stuff was "my thing," sort of.

Yes yes! I collected those rubber monster wiggly toys too!

I used to watch all the old black and white monster movies as a kid. And, I may have mentioned this before, but there were 2 movies that were played every year when I was a kid. "The Wizard of Oz" and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds", and it was a family event when they were on for me, mom, dad, bro and sis to watch them. We watched them every year. (Yah I know, the wizard isn't horror, but The Birds is.)

In school when we had to write short stories, I would often write about haunted houses and stuff like that. I guess it's in my genes.

I had recently seen halloweentown and so, when I saw that halloween was on, thought they must be related. Never been the same since.
