Just sharing the King love. I grew up seeing my dad read King, and when I was old enough to read adult books, King was the first one I picked up- It, I think, though it might have been The Shining. I absolutely list him as one of my favorite authors, and his ability to develop a character and a setting until they feel like real, breathing things has been a huge inspiration to me in my own writing.
Also, Monster Squad! I had a minor obsession with that movie in the late 80s; I used to scan the TV Guide to find all the times when HBO might be showing it so I could watch it over and over, until my mom finally bought me a copy. I also had such a crush on Rudy (Ryan Lambert), but that's neither here nor there, lol.
