I remember, back then, my Dad renting 2 movies...for the new VHS player he had bought.
The first one was Disney's Jungle Book, which I loved a lot (still love it). The other one, was Evil Dead. He made me go to bed before starting it, but I snuck back out (can you blame me for being totally fascinated by our new player?) and watched it behind the living room door.
A couple months later, he took me to watch Alien in the theater. And I loved that too. He noticed that I absorbed such horrific imagery calmly without flinching, and I guess he knew rightaway that I would be a serious horror buff.
