Dark genesis

I've always been fascinated by the dark side of life. Taboo subjects and dark subjects seem to hold my interests. I started at maybe 5 years of age with horror/monster movies. I used to stay up late on saturday nights watching Creature features in the early to mid-70's,hosted by Dr. Sanguinary,a Frankenstein inspired mad doctor type. The first film I remember seeing was the seeming "gateway drug", Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. I was equally scared and hypnotized by the monsters,especially Dracula. I then started reading books on movie monsters,vampires,werewolves,many were written by Thomas G. Aylesworth. I purchased my first comic book too which happened to be Marvel's Tomb of Dracula #59. I discovered music around this time and became a card carrying member of the KISS army,they totally packaged all of my interests into one thing,rock and roll,monsters,sci-fi,and fantasy. I also found Alice Cooper. I then started collecting Halloween themed records along with the back catalogs of KISS and AC. Famous Monsters Speak,Sounds to make you shiver and Disney's The haunted mansion were prized items. I used to sit in the dark of my basement listening to these records and scaring myself...
