Remember when Cindy Brady said that by the time she got the attic room, it would be the year 2000? It seemed so far away.

This is gold 😂😂

The lyrics were so tiny!

I can relate.

I also did minidisk for a while somewhere between tape and mp3. Oh, and now records are making a comeback -_-'

And that's why we are cynical. 😉

TIL the dog wasn't called Boo-boo like the little bear in Yogi Bear. DOH!

All the brown was leftover from the '70's.

And hence our cryptic screen names.

Stephen King and VC Andrews.

Yes and Virginia Andrews just to f**k things up further

Mine was either The Eyes of the Dragon or The Stand (didn't finish the latter because of an illustration that freaked me out). Christine was also an early read, which is probably why I get somewhat paranoid when the same headlights tail me for too long in the dark ;)

I'm only 13 but I've read and absolutely loved over 20 Stephen king books

I'm pretty sure my first Stephen King book was "Carrie," which I read in 7th grade. I remember the school principal saw me with it, and asked if my mom knew I was reading it. He told me if I was going to read it at school, I had to bring in a note from her giving me permission; guess he wanted to make sure I wasn't reading a "forbidden book" behind his back. Of course she obliged, having never in her life told us kids we couldn't read any book we wanted to.

Or Dean Koontz...

I wanna Slim-f****n-Slim Jim! It's chowdy-dow!

That and the constant thread of nuclear annihilation.

Life. That' why we are the way we are. Life was way scarier than Stephen King. Plus I like Poe the best.

My first was Carrie, sometime in the late 70's, I was 10, have been reading King for over 40 years.

My mother took me to see The Exorcist when I was maybe 11. It didn't bother me so maybe I was already broken. lol

I didn't bother with Gooebumps, went straight to Stephen King age 8. Loved them. There's no age restrictions on library books thankfully.

I read the unabridged version of The Stand when I was like 12.

Heeeeeere's Johnny! Still can't completely close a door so I can see what's coming.

I read "It" in '86 or '87. I was 8. I still don't like storm drains.

Pet Sematary when I was 12

My first Stephen King was The Tommyknockers.

I read IT in the 5th grade so I'm thinking this theory has some merit.

I started reading Stephen King in 1974 when Carrie came out. I was a little older, however, 17.

Eyes of the Dragon in early middle school. Completely nothing like his other books but I loved it. I was obsessed with it for awhile. I had read a couple other if his books before and loved them but this one stuck with me for ages.

This ! Read Cujo when I was 12. Questionable choice.

I prove that hypothesis. My bedroom as a kid was in our partly unfinished basement an as such I could hear when parents were coming to make sure I was in bed, lights off. In reality I was, naturally, READING and often Stephen King. Once their footsteps passed back through the kitchen, off snapped my light until they went away, then lather, rinse, READ!

My first, ate age 11, was Salem’s Lot. I was terrified!

I still have every Stephen King book from my childhood and probably up until '93.

That could explain a lot!

Pet Sematary was it for me. I read The Dead Zone at a much younger age, but it didn't creep me out. I've never even seen the Pet Sematary movie.

I saw my first horror movie at 11(Poltergeist) does that count?

Damn straight!

I'll do y'all one better: I gave a book report in Catholic grammar school at 9 years old, on.....Flowers in the Attic!
