Same here! In the late 90's + early 00's, I was always on Rotten, Ogrish + Charon Boat.

Though I got into gore around 1988 (when I was only 5 years old!). We had a book of unsolved murders + mysteries + I LOVED it! I had the reading level of an adult at a very young age, so I used to sneak a read of that book all the time + look at the pictures! I spent my early teens borrowing books on serial killers from the library!

I used to also sneak down in the middle of the night to watch horror films on Sky when I was 6/7.

I remember when I was around the same age you mentioned (6 to 7) waking up and going out into the loungeroom where Mum and Dad had "The Creature from The Black Lagoon" on late at night, and I walked in right at the point where the creature had just scooped the woman up from the boat, and was diving back into the water with her.

That scared me so much, I was scared to even take a bath then !!.

Aww, haha! My son walked in on me watching Ju-On when he was about 4 years old, he was terrified!

And look at us !! We grew up to be well adjusted productive adults, with healthy minds and hobbies.
We raise families, we have careers, we run households ........... we lock ourselves up in our basements, and watch men and women from around the globe get torn asunder by all manner of moving objects; decimated by blade, bullet and beast; pulverised and pounded into a pastiche of pixelated mayhem ......

Nahh, nothing wrong with us. Move along, nothing to see here folks.

PS: I hope you appreciate my exaggerated use of alliteration and onomatopoeia in my reply to you Simone ..... I am secretly hoping Time Magazine trawls these sections looking for the next great undiscovered writer )

I apologize. Just couldn't leave this one alone. Too quick, and too fountain-ey, to just eyeball and quickly leave. lol.

This fountain reminds me RiversEdge of the song "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" ......

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.
Blood that is, red gold, Dying old man juice.

Two of my boys are LEO's, and one of my girls went into the EMT game following me - so there is not a lot they haven't seen by now, and there is no doubt, it has hardened/changed them. I am currently getting run ragged in the P&P sector (probations and parole), and see an ugly side of the community every day during shifts. And anybody who thinks "we" are failing "them", is wrong. Maybe 10% make the effort to stick with the program, the rest we just keep cuffing and stuffing, and then it gets passed on to the next generation.

The misery and poverty some the families, connected to "my clientele" (ahem), have to live in is depressing. I used to keep a fair few groceries and little cheap toys in the car boot in an effort to lighten the load for some of them, but it's like bailing out an ocean using nothing but a thimble.

That's all too heavy, so let's finish with a joke:

Did you hear about the new restaurant they opened on the moon ?
Great menu, but a terrible atmosphere.

HUZZAHHHHH !!

I remember Ogrish. My first beheading. When i was a kid, i would get those detective magazines and just be hypnotized by the crime scene photos. I think I was probably around 8 or 9. Always thought there must be something wrong with me.....

There's nothing wrong with morbid curiosity. If you were out there committing these crimes or getting some sick kick out of watching the ones on here, then yes, there would be something very wrong with you.

No one should be sheltered from the harsh reality of what goes on in the world. There should always be an option to view such things, there's way too many deluded people out there who think the world is perfect + people are lovely creatures.
