horror starter
so what first got you into horror films and led to you becoming a fan? For me it's 2 films
the devil rides out, don't know why but the starey eyed black bloke trerrified me american werewolf in london, the creature in the bed duirng the hospital bed in the woods dream sequence looked scary as hell.Don't know why but the sound when you see his face sounds like a bit like a tiger which is sorta different than the usual horror sound. anyway, these, plus the unavaiilability of video nasties, therefore leading to a more desperate urge to see them, led me into horror yours??? |

Hard for me to remember but back in the days we had horror movies on a late Friday night,movies such as the old Universal monsters and the Hammer classics.
Early ones for me i have fond memories are The Gorgon and The Reptile.Both of which i still adore to this day. |

I'm a fan of horror for three reasons:
1. When I was four, I sat transfixed (unbeknownst to my parents) through a movie called Gargoyles. It sparked a fascinating question in me: “What else, besides us, is out there?” Horror has continued to spark fascinating questions ever since. (Sci-Fi does as well but Horror beat it to the punch) 2.When I was an adult, I saw a girl running for her life through dark woods chased by a masked hatchet-man. It was hilarious – I literally sat in the theater laughing. “That’s us!” I realized. We’re all being chased through this dark forest of life by some masked hatchet-man; and we know he’s going to get us… he gets everyone. That’s when I realized, in addition to reason 1, horror somehow neutralizes the dread I might otherwise feel over the truly horrific things in life: heartbreak, enfeeblement, disease, suffering, uselessness to society, & death. 3. It's a lot of fun. :danger:

When I was a kid I got 4 or 5 TV stations. There was a station either out of Detroit or South Bend that I was able to get and on Saturday Afternoons they had "The Saturday Afternoon Creature Feature". My Dad grew up watching them in the 50's so he used to sit down and watch them with me.
Frankenstein Dracula The Mummy Creature From The Black Lagoon The Wolf Man King Kong Godzilla Those are my earliest memories.

Honestly, it's been so long I don't remember. I've always loved horror movies. It probably started on Saturday afternoons watching Dr. Shock run all the old horror movies. And going to the Saturday matinee at the local movie theater. I know that's where my love of Hammer Studios began.

Probably...well for sure, the original t.v. series "Dark Shadows"(1966-70ish), Scooby Doo cartoons and the book "Rosemary's Baby".

Oh yeah, definitely Dark Shadows! I remember running home from school so I could watch it.

I remember being mesmerized by The Mummy [1932] some time after Gargoyles [1972] and the Abbot & Costello Meet... flicks - but you're totally right: Scooby Doo probably did an awful lot to inculcate my earliest affinity for horror.
Thank you for that memory blast! ![]() ![]()
