1 Horror films
MY mum is a great fan of horror films, so by the time I was six or seven I had seen a lot of things I probably shouldn’t have, like The Omen and Salem’s Lot. We would watch the Hammer films on TV at the weekend and I think I saw The Wicker Man when I was about seven. I think she just wanted to share them with me. I loved them and it really fired my imagination, inspiring me to write stories. For example, when I was about eight or nine, I wrote a sequel to Halloween not knowing that there was a Halloween 2.
