My parents didn't like horror movies so I didn't get to see many when I was a kid. I couldn't see any in theaters until I was old enough to go to r-rated movies alone. By then it was 1984 or 85 and most of the horror movies were crap. I was all excited to finally be able to go myself and see them but after The Alchemist and Burial Ground I quickly learned it was a waste of time and money. I even apologized to my parents for wasting their money. I missed seeing all the early 80s classics on the big screen, and it was no fun going alone anyway. I didn't have any friends so I don't even know if anyone my age liked horror movies or not. I also remember not being allowed to watch Summer of Fear and Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell on TV when I was in fifth grade. My parents didn't think horror movies were corrupting or evil or anything, they just thought they were boring. They didn't like me watching Saturday morning cartoons either. Huge arguments were had over that.

As far as watching real stuff like snuff films, I'd never want to do that.
