I got into horror through my Mother, she would sit me down and show me classics like Squirm, The Keep, The Gate and The Monster Squad! As well as films like Night and Dawn of the Dead.
I'm 24 (not for long though
), so missed out on the boom to. In the early 90's I got stuck into Vipco tapes and stumbled across Fulci, then came Argento when I discovered Tartan video's release of Trauma. Italian horror took over my viewing from there on really.
So basically I've grown up with a love of the horror genre thanks to, what some could call, wreckless parenting! ha.
