I got into horror from watching movies, mostly the old Universals and Hammers. The first full-on horror writer I read was probably Stephen King aside from maybe Poe. Before that I read horror comic books. Not EC because they hadn't been re-issued yet, but the watered down DC line, House of Secrets and so on, and Gold Key, those digest sized comics they'd have of Twilight Zone and Boris Karloff and others.
