What made you get into these guys?
I can thank my dad for the Classic Universal Monsters. When I was 14 my dad bought Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein and I was drop dead hooked...
I saved up all my allowence and bought basically each Universal Monster VHS tape as I could get to the mall. I still remember them being $14.98 each! That's a lot! Now you can get 5 movies from one monster on DVD for $19.99!
So I have been into them since 1994 and loved them instantly and always have and always will. I bought every Legacy DVD as it came out, I started off by getting the first collection with Frank, Drac and Wolfman busts included.

That must been some night in those theators. Yea, I realy wish I could have been there too, people sopposedly fainted in the theaters. And now you've become what you fear most... move over BatMan ;D Yea don't you just love irony I just remembered how I got into it. When I was 10, I think, I heard some reference to edgar allen poe, can't remember where, but I wen't to the library the next day and checked out some of his poems, I was hooked. Naturally I also read Frankenstein, Dracula and a few others, the books got me into the movies, wich eventualy turned into an all-around horror obsession ;D |

I remember watching the old Universal horror movies on late-night tv many years ago. I guess that's what started the ball rolling for me.

Watching Joe Bob Briggs talk about them on TNT's MonsterVision that came on every Saturday, showed 2 or 3 Horror-themed movies each Saturday, and with Joe Bob hosting it was awesome... God, I miss that show.
I remember him dedicating one show to showing a newer version of a movie, then showing an older. I believe it was a Dracula movie from the early 30s followed by one from the 80s. Great stuff, but I really liked watching the old War of the Worlds.

Probably from reading in my case. I started reading at a young age and always read above my age level. I was reading Frankenstein and Dracula at around 6-7 years old. So that got me into the movies.
I remember not understanding why the books and movies were so different. In the book Frankensteins monster is actually quite smart and speaks fairly well. But I still loved the movies.

That's cool! I still never seen the original lol :duh:
It's funny because even Friday Part 1 scared people! So imagine how tame the times had to be to have these classics give people nightmares.

I asked my grandmother something like that, how today's Horror movies (or even the ones from the 80s) would have been back then. She told me, and I quote: I agree with that, she's such a smart woman. |

Could you just imagine though if there was some way to take back say Friday The 13th to that audience and show it to them what their reaction would be? I could just see the heart attacks waiting to happen.

 Cool man I'm glad I was able to impact your life in such a positive way. Things like that make me feel like there is a good reason for me to be alive ;D
I like to help people discover great things that they never put much thought into before. I did that for Mrs. Voorhees and Eve_L as well with Friday the 13ths and all the Halloweens.
It's a great feeling
