yes, thats a huge part of it for me too... growing up in the 80s and seeing them in the local 'ritz' video rental. the insane covers, and the fact they were considered to be so dangerous back then just made the mind boggle!
again, its psychological i think - childhood memories are really important in these things.
and its ridiculous, but even now, in my 20s, i get a slight kinda rebellious, transgressive thrill from buying/watching them because they were forbidden when i was subject to my parent's control! and at the same time a guilt-shifting thing, because i watch them and see that there is nothing at all 'wrong' about watching (most of) them.
