I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I watched awful horror movies as a child and as an adolescent I was allowed to watch anything I wanted. Really, by the time I was 9 and had finished the children and teen section at my town's library she gave into the fact that "adult themes" were no longer something I would be avoiding. I did scary the beejebus out of myself reading 'The Shining' though. She comforted me that night and then the next day told me it served me right for reading a horror novel at night when I was supposed to be sleeping
