My love for horror flicks started with the BBC's horror double bills. The first horror movie I was allowed to stay up and watch as a youngster was Hammer's The Vampire Lovers, with all the nudity and beheadings that was an eye-opener for sure. From TV horror I moved onto video, when my family bought their first VCR. I think the first video nasty I ever saw was the 'strong uncut version' of Zombie Flesh-Eaters, quickly followed by the uncut Replay Video edition of Cannibal Ferox. I just devoured video horror, action, comedy and sci-fi from then on. I also got into books and mags about the subject too, and my love has lasted to this day with all my old favourites now being released onto DVD and Blu-ray.
