I Am Fascinated By the Macabre

Morbid Curiosity.... I am fascinated by the macabre. I have been for as long as I can remember. It started out with me watching horror movies with my mother at 4 years old. I grew obsessed with my horror movies and told my teacher that I wanted to be a serial killer when I grow up :) My parents were called in after that, but my mom assured them that I was harmless.

My fascination with all things macabre immediately branded me an outcast among my peers. Thus I chose to hide this part of myself, only show it to those who understand it. People are so full of prejudice, but we all have this morbid curiosity within us. That's why when there is a car accident, everyone looks around frantically - hoping to see blood (or even better, bodies). The general populace just choose to live in denial about this darkness within them. But whether they admit it or not; its still there... and it's not going anywhere. You might as well just do as we have done, and embrace it.

I've heard that people who are most interested in the macabre faced some kind of childhood trauma. I can't think of anything that happened to me that was so bad as to scar me so early on. But I'm not sure.
