When did you realize you liked horror?

I remember watching Jurrasic Park in the movie theatre. I know it's not horror per sae but it's a monster movie and that is connected. I was terrified. Also watching IT as a kid scared the hell out of me.

IT was a really bad one for me. I've probably told this story but I will regail you all with it again. My cousin and I watched IT one night when I slept over, despite how her Dad told us not to. We hardly slept cause we were scared and the next day when we were driving to church, her dad had tied blue balloons all along fences on the way there.

Come on, I bet you realised after the first 48 times :)

I dunno...it was pretty progressive. As a kid you don't think about it, but I guess it was sometime in the late to mid teens that I realised the majority of the films I liked, and had been to see, were more towards the horror side of things in ratio.
I didn't have some sudden moment of realization.

always have... always watched horror films... and probably loved to as a child because you're not supposed to and not all my friends wer aloud to.

Earliest memory was watching 'the burning', when it first came out on ThornEMI video with that great cover of Cropsy on fire. I remember looking at the cover thinking it would be no big deal. The the scene in the canoo came along and I think I did a little poo. I must have been about 6 at the time, maybe younger so I can be forgiven. Now I a man, when I watch it I do a fucking big shit instead. Happy days...
