The first horror film I remember seeing was Stephen King's It. I guess I was seven or eight at the time and as I started to get increasingly interested in film (thanks to my father's various film guides), my passion for horror cinema grew. By the time I was nine, I'd already watched and fallen in love with The Evil Dead, The Exorcist and Hellraiser, having watched them on VHS. I also discovered an article in one of my father's film mags which was dedicated to banned films. Images from The Driller Killer and I Spit on Your Grave leapt out at me and so began my fascination with video nasties. I also used to watch a lot of the Horror Channel over the Summer holidays so I was heavily exposed to fifties/sixties horrors like A Bucket of Blood and The Terror.

I'm only twenty so I missed the video nasties scandal, but for over half of my lifetime, I've adored horror films.
