I’ve always been drawn to fantasy, magic, the paranormal, the supernatural and, to some extent, science fiction. I’ve been trying to pin down my early influences, and I think it starts here:

I wasn’t only influenced by movies and TV. I mostly read mysteries when I was young, but I read a fair amount of sci fi-type books, too. And even some of the mysteries I liked leaned toward the paranormal.
Gradually, my tastes moved toward the paranormal, with romantic elements…
And the list goes on…and on…and on. Even Agatha Christie wrote paranormals – who knew?
I guess I’ve always been more into the fantasy/paranormal/sci fi genres than I thought! What about you? Do you like to travel to the far out side?
Anya,very fun post! I especially enjoyed the Metropolis trailer. I’m not a big sci/fi paranormal fan, but I love the Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Dark Shadows. Maybe I like those genres more than I thought:)!
Hi Maria! My best friend was HUGELY into Dark Shadows, but I never got hooked on that series. I loved Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. I’ve always liked movies that were a little far out (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Day of the Triffids, etc.) but until I started listing them, I hadn’t realized I’d been a fan of the “not normal” for so long!
