You knew you were too young to see them, but this made them all the more seductive and appealing.Įven me, a late arrival to the horror genre, saw these movies way before I was legally allowed to. Unless your family was like the Flanders in The Simpsons – with dozens of channels locked-out to protect the young ones – the odds were that you illicitly watched a “15” or even an “18”-certificate film long before you were legally allowed to.
Ah, horror movies: that classic cultural rite-of-passage.
