Hi Ogre, welcome to the forum!

I grew up with these films too, like you did, but with one big difference...my parents couldn't stand horror films, and were pretty perturbed when I found the Universal films on TV. To their credit, though, they tried to be indulgent, and we arrived at a compromise; my dad would have to stay up with me and make sure I wasn't being warped by tales of Dracula, The Invisible Man, and Frankenstein's Monster! Dear old dad could only supervise about the first ten minutes of any given film, so I was able to savor the boundless charms of these classic movies more or less alone.

I can say however, that once Mom and Dad realized that my affinity for supernatural fare wouldn't turn me into a degenerate, they became a little more open minded, allowing me to not only watch, but allowing me to subscribe to that grand old magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland.
