When I read horror-related blogs, most of them from Sean Collins’ horror blog update page, “Where The Monsters Go”, I often think of the ways people come to enjoy horror, and perhaps even to work with it themselves. Horror fandom is big and quite multifaceted, despite the stereotype of all of us being overweight white guys in Burzum t-shirts (I’m wearing a William S. Burroughs t-shirt myself right now, totally blowing that theory out of the water).

Some people might come to horror through one defining event, seeing a movie or reading a book which was something totally new to them, and which made them life-long horror fans. Others, like myself, have had a more gradual process.

So I’m posing the question to the horror blogosphere, and anyone else who might want to tell: What made you get into horror? My own story coming up a little later.
