No but I did the Mash (it was the Monster Mash).

I grew up on horror so I couldn't pinpoint when my obsession began. In fact I can't remember ever being scared of a horror film... Spooky!

A late night viewing of the beast with five fingers when i was 4.That was it...the rest as they say,is history.
First video viewings were a double bill of carrie and zombie flesh eaters when i was 10.When we got our own video(rented for years from der)the first movie i rented from their video at home catalogue was zombies: dawn of the dead on the intervision label. The look on my mums face when we all sat down to watch it was priceless. Of course,after watching the trailers at the beginning i had to seek out shivers,night of the living dead and rabid.
I was lucky in the respect that my parents were(up to a point)pretty easy going about my viewing habits,probably thought it was a phase i'd grow out of.How wrong could they be.eh!!

Tell me about it! Had it taped off the tv years back.Quite laughable now,but that disembodied hand has stayed with me through the years.Damn scary as a nipper.

I gather Warner have a planned r1 release of The Beast With 5 Fingers.I thought it was actually supposed to come out late last year.I have their previous Masters Of Horror collection including Devil Doll,Dr X & the restored Mask Of Fu Manchu.
