Exact opposite for me. Not only did my mom buy me the books, but she was also the one who was pushing for me to see the likes of Terminator, T2, Halloween, and other R rated action and horror movies starting when I was 8 or 9 or so. Apparently she'd also watch horror movies with me in the room when I was an infant up until I developed the ability to say I liked them (at which point my horror movie watching days ended abruptly for a while).

Suffice it to say my mom was pretty cool about letting me watch and read things that were totally awesome and not the least bit age appropriate and bought me my first two Goosebumps books and never hesitated to buy me more.

Strangely though, she had an issue with me wanting to play Mortal Kombat for a year or two after the first one came out.
