I have got Dennis Gifford's 'Pictorial History of Horror Movies' myself, same cover n everything. I think it was the second book i picked up on horror film's when i was a young boy.
After that any book i saw on horror films was mine.
Missed out on Eerie & Creepy magazines though.
Remember briefly having a novel sized comic adaption of 'Tales from the crypt' film though don't know what happened to that.
Got into Doctor who during Tom Baker's later stories, remember a season where BBC showed a story from each doctor, can't remember first Doctors story but remember watching Patrick Troughton's 'Kroton' story at this time and I think 'Carnival of Monster's' with mr Pertwee.
Used to loan Doctor Who books from the library a lot when i was a whippersnapper.
Remember watching Twilight Zone a lot too, but never caught up with The Outer limits till a few years ago. Good stuff!!!
