Yeah, I'm old.   Lookingup

Not old. Vintage or classic, but never old.

That comment from before on this thread... I didn't post that. Must have been my friend on my computer?

Anyways, I'm not sure what year I became a movie geek, but ever since I was a kid I was interested in monster movies. Particular the Japanese ones and "tokusatsu", which were the shows like Ultraman that had the doofy rubber hero go up against the cheesy rubber monsters. And I'm still into those cheesy monster movies, heheh.

Not sure exactly when the fascination started...probably watching movies with my parents and grandparents. Have distinct memories of being terrified by vampire films my family were watching in the 1970s (actually I think they may have left the room to greet guests and left me in the room with the TV on - recall being mortified by Salem's Lot, The Brides of Dracula, and the late 70s version of Dracula. Recall my grandmother watching the 1970s version of King Kong and me as a youngster being enthralled with Kong. Later saw Jaws at my other grandmother's which frightened me as well and made me jump behind a chair peeking out more than once. Actually I also have vivid memories of greatly enjoying movies via youth club where I saw via film projector all the classic Bruce Lee films which I loved. Also later on saw Risky Business when I was like 11-12 year old.  In elementary school also via film projector saw the following films which I loved: Supergirl, Superman: the Movie, Batman: the Movie, and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. In high school, saw The Delta Force. As a kid, I would never miss Wonderful World of Disney and had record/book versions of The Black Hole and Tron which would also prove to be movies I loved. I also owned a Star Wars book as a kid which developed a fascination with that movie too. I'd love that when I finally saw it as well.

1965, the year we moved back to massachusetts from newfoundland. my momma took us to the drivein and we saw son of dracula(1943) and dead of night( 1945). that also created my obsession with anthology movies and shows, lol!
   i was 4 then, and had to have surgery on my stomach, was in hospital for something like a month and this one nurse showed me the wild and wonderful world of UHF TV, creature feature, creature double feature, chiller theater, and a show with a host named mongo, i think, can't recall the name though.
  i'm still obsessed with antholgies and bad movies, especially horror~!
good to see you java! Cheers

Just for the record: I am not old enough to be Trevor's mom.  Most of the rest of you, maybe.

I'd say for me I was probably 5-6 years old so probably around 1978-1979.

My apologies: what I meant by Mom figure is that you always seem to be keeping an eye on and looking after all of us here - also keeping some of us in line.  Smile

Although I can't remember this my mum and dad used to have a projector and as a very young child I used to watch The Blob and The Wolfman on it all the time. I guess I'd have to say I've been a movie geek since I was 2 (1976).

No need to apologise, Trevor!  I knew what you meant.  I meant you no discomfort.  Bluesad My comment was a desperate attempt to be humorous in the face of my maturity.  TongueOut  And you guys have been so well-behaved lately that I forgot myself.
