I remember that site, but 80s and 90s horror movies had already inoculated me against the gore aspects of it. There were quite a few fictional and non-fictional gore clips movies popping up in video rental stores back in those days. Some of it was pretty grotesque and horrific, perhaps even more so than a lot of stuff you might have seen on rotten.com.
