Over 21
I'll be 42 in April.
Remember, I live in the UK. So our broadcasting is very different to yours. My parents had no problem with us (my sisters or brother) watching horror. They were more concerned with things of a sexual nature. So blood n gore, decapitations, mutilations, spells and body transformations were fine, but boobs? Boobs were a no-no! LOL
I remember, everyone in the family owned their own video tape, so I would set the timer on the VCR to record horror movies that were showing while I was asleep. I would then watch them the next day after school or on the weekend. When I was about 12 there was a great tv show called Moviedrome. It was hosted by director Alex Cox. It was very similar to the show in the movie Fright Night. Each week they would pick a movie and then spend 30 mins before the movie talking about the filming of the movie, the director, the lnfluence on the genre etc etc. Basically extra features before dvd extras were ever a thing. It was this show where I first saw movies like Alien, The Fly, The Thing, Videodrome, A Clockwork Orange, American Werewolf in London, Frankenstein, The House of Wax (original), The Swarm. This one show is directly responsible for my deeper love and appreciation of cinema, as well as my love of horror.
And, of course, how could we forget to mention Blockbuster? Blockbuster really helped expand the amount of horror movies I had access to. I lost count of the amount of times I talked my dad into renting a horror, by selling him on the inherent entertainment value, the actors, the directors etc. I worked about 70% of the time.
As with any movie, I just want to be entertained. Obviously the way i want to be entertained from sci-fi will differ from horror. But I still want to be entertained. Like I said, I haven't ever really been scared by a horror movie. Which is fine.
I'm a little older, 48. Seen some of those movies in the theater. We watched an the gore we wanted and the boobs when we could get away with it.
