I've been into horror ever since I can remember, I don't really know how it began, but, despite my obsession with horror movies (which I didn't get to watch until way later), I was the beiggest scaredy cat ever, I was afraid of fighting and bullies (might be part of the reason i'm unpopular and bullied in school), bugs, lizards, but most of all, the dark.

When I was somewhere around 7 or 8 (or 9), I saw my first horror movie (don't remember which) but I was really dissapointed, it didn't scare me at all. From then on, I set on a quest, a quest to find scary horror movies (sounds cheesy, doesn't it?), and I barely watched horror movies until I was 11. Until then, I read Goosebumps (which I found out about when I was 10, pretty late isn't it) and although I used to like them back then (wasn't scared though, haha, take that RL Stine) I've come to realise that they were really bad, the stories (especially the twists, where, usually, someone would turn out to be an alien) were stupid, actually. Then I turned 11 and started watching horror movies, rarely scared by them.

I watched the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street, and  I liked it, although it wasn't scary, but through it, I found out just how much I hate the slasher genre (alot). I saw alot of high regarded horror movies, which didn't scare me.

Most of them had so many jump scares, I just grew sick of them. I was/am rarely ever startled by jump scares, but the times I was scared, I didn't count them as real scares as they would just startle you.

As I grew up in Pakistan (call me a terrorist if you want, idc) there was high influence of Indian culture and our cinemas housed nearly all Indian movies, they also made horror movies, which were either or all of the following: incredibly cliche, had stupid dialogue and/or a stupid script, were ripoffs of American movies, followed almost the same story, were NOT scary at all, and worst, had terrible songs (all Indian movies are musical, for some reason).

The only movies that scare me to this day are The Conjuring, Mama, Oculus (a little, just a little) and that one scene in The Grudge (I or II, idk) where a woman lays in bed and the sheets start moving, aand the ghost thingy comes out of the upper end.

Last year I even saw The Exorcist, and didn't find it scary at all (most of this comment is me bragging about not being easily scared). So, finding my thirst for horror unsatisfied, I turned to reding urban legends online, and heard of Lavender Town Syndrome, so I looked it up, and found this site, at the time I didn't know that creepypastas weren't real (or even what they were), so I got scared. After a long time. That was near the end of 2013, but I soon found out what creepypastas were.

I even went to creepypasta.com but found this more user-friendly, so I joined in Jan, and, I don't know how to end this...

On another note, you were born in 1989? Wow, you're old :P, I'm fourteen and you're like, ninety or something.
