Oddly, if my memory serves me correct… it was in the most amazing film starred in and directed by Roman Polanski!

The name of the horror film with a slight comedy twist was called “dance of the vampires”

As a young boy, I do remember hiding behind the sofa for a couple of times!

Had a babysitter that would watch 80s slashers like Halloween and nightmare on elm St from about 6 years old. They never really bothered me. However in the early 90s there was a TV adaptation of Tommyknockers and that gave me a pretty irrational fear of porcelain dolls for years!!

Transsexual Transylvania

I seem to recall that it was Hammer Horror's original Dracula, with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing (which explains a lot). I was 9 or 10. We only got TV in South Africa in 1976, so I'd had no exposure to horror movies before that. Christopher Lee's Count scared me shitless. I really empathised with the women Dracula preyed upon, and right there was born my fascination with vampires. 🧛🏻‍♀️

Solihull and Romford

The black & white 1960's version of Village Of The Dammed.

It stood me in good stead, when 40 years later, I moved to Erdington.

Not sure if this counts but watched ghostwatch when I was 9. On the upstairs TV alone. Absolutely terrified me. I was convinced ghosts were taking over the country
