Earliest "horror memory"
Hate to start another damn thread, but I almost veered off onto this topic in another thread and thought it would be best to keep the topics separated.
Been a fan of horror "for as long as you can remember?" How long, exactly? What's your first memory of encountering something that formed the catalyst for your interest horror? For me, I remember when I was around 3 or 4, my mom bought me a jigsaw puzzle in a coffin-shaped box. It was a two-sided puzzle, with Dracula on one side and Frankenstein on the other. I loved that thing (and wish I still had it.) Since then, I have been drawn to all things grusome and macabre ... albeit reluctantly at times. I remember browsing the magazine shelves of a local drugstore and being horrified by an issue of "Fangoria" (with a photo from "Creepshow" of the guy with bugs bursting out of his face on the cover). Horrified, and yet strangely unable to look away. Gave me nightmares forever. Still had to look at the thing, though.

Horror comic books. They would have them on a spinning rack in the drugstore buy the checkout. I'd have to hide them from my Mom and read them at night or at a friends. I was 8 or 9 which was along time ago...oh my
I remember one where on the cover Frankenstein was holding a girl who's legs were bloody stumps missing from the knee down, Dracula was looking on, and the Wolfman was devouring one of her legs.

Woah, that's some memory you've got.
But you've got a point ... being that close to my mom's carpetbag still gives me the shivers.

I saw Alien at five. Around the same time, i have my first memories of trick or treating.
We had a bunch of decorations thatmy grandmother had made, and she is an artist, so i became obsessed with dark things, werewolves, vampires, monsters, that kind of thing. Shortly thereafter, i saw ghostbusters, and that was it.

Halloween is a great way to hook little kiddies <evil grin>. Hanging up the decorations for Halloween was almost better than Christmas.

lol as for my memory, over here in the Uk there's an old joke kind of thing, that you hope, if you ever get admitted into hospital, you'll get cared for by a fit blond nurse in a short skirt, unfortunatly it's usually by some fat old dog with bad breath....... hence my previous joke in first post. :)
