Reading so many REAL horror stories of actual occurrences like that happening make me recall my own late mother with such great, great fondness. Because, you see, while so many other moms just didn't "get" their son's ( & daughter's too, I'm sure ) obsessions with all those old late night movies & the magazines that their kids brought home from the local drugstores sporting the most gruesome covers, mine was the one who introduced me to all those Fright Night Late Shows. And took me to the drugstore to buy me all my monster mags & comic books.


And toss them out?!! image

She'd have never dreamed of it. Back then, when I was but a wee lad & my wee bit of anal retentive, OCD cleanliness issues had yet to surface, she was the one who picked up after me & cleaned my room taking care to save my goodies from ruin. image


My mom is the same as yours. She intoduced me to horror and sci-fi movies, comic and monster books. She used to have Superman and Wonder Woman comics when she was a kid in the 1940s. Unfortunately, her mom (my grandmother) was of the "toss away treasures" type. My mom still gripes about that, knowing how valuable those comics she had are today.
