First off, I was raised in Sci-Fi conventions and Aliens, so Aliens is a haunting part of my childhood. Then, while I didn't see the entirety of the Predator movies as a child, I knew of them and the toys, I think I might have owned before- I think it was Shaman/Hippie. Then years after not seeing much from either of the franchise, AvP brought me back for awhile, but I didn't become much of a fan. Then sometime this year, it just snapped for no reason, I got into the whole Predator and some Alien fandom. I think the reason I drew back to the Alien/Predator thing was because I'm reliving the monsters that haunted my childhood.
