I grew up on a healthy diet of Hammer Horror films on late night T.V. which turned into a fascination for the films of Argento, Cronenberg, Romero and Carpenter. I saw quite a few of the video nasties before they became known as video nasties. I was always interested in finding out how the effects were done and still love to see behind the scenes and making of extras on DVD's especially when they go in depth on the effects side. My father bought me "Bad Taste" and "Zombie Flesh Eaters" for Christamas one year purely because he thought the covers were something that would appeal to me.
Luckily my wife does share my love of horror, to a certain point. My other love is Martial Arts/Hong Kong cinema. That she has no time for unless it's Bruce Lee related.
