Back when I was growing up, getting caught with a copy of 'Creepy,' 'Eerie' or 'Vampirella' was almost as bad as your parents finding out you were reading 'Playboy.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And I used to buy 'Fangoria,' the horror magazine, which made my mum wonder if I was going to be a serial killer.
John Bellairs's young adult mysteries were great - and super creepy.
The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.
At 16, I started reading trashy stuff, anything slightly naughty and risque.
I used to dress up in my mom's old clothes and play with these kids from the neighbourhood and make up stories: I would pretend that we were all vampires.
Other kids' parents wouldn't let them read magazines like 'Weird Tales,' but my folks were big readers themselves, so they didn't mind.
By the time I was 10 or 12, I had discovered the lure of the romance genre - and the dusty copy of 'The Thorn Birds' on my parents' bookshelf.
When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called 'Tales From The Crypt' and 'The Vault of Horror.' They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous.
I bugged my mom and dad to 'get me inside the television set' when I was about four years old.
When I was a teenager, 'Playboy' was the most interesting magazine in the world, and not just for the playmates. I liked the interviews and the stories, and all that, but nowadays most of the stuff in there doesn't interest me.
