I had never heard the term "Monster Kid" until I discovered this board. From everything that I have read here I can only surmise that not only am I a Monster Kid but I have plenty of company. I can't honestly say why I love horror and monster movies, I just know that I have loved them for as long as I can remember. Clear back in the days when I desperately searched our four television channels for something cool to watch I always stopped twisting that big plastic knob when I saw a monster. Whether it was some dead guy brought back to life by science or magic, groups of sword fighting skeletons, giant radioactive lizards or blood sucking vampires I always stopped to watch. Even if I knew I was going to have nightmares when I went to bed I was powerless to turn away because monsters are cool and always will be.
