I don't know as a teen, I was not really into gore so much, as death often scared me. However growing up further has allowed me to see the true "horrors" of life, call it what you will just eh. I don't know, am I one of the few who find people going from alive to being dead fascinating? The point at which you can see that they're really gone I guess, is what I like.
Death just really doesn't bother me, /shrug.
