In 1979, Taylor and his mother saw the science fiction series ''Buck Rogers in the 25th Century''. Before the series, there was a trailer for the 1978 horror film ''Halloween''. Taylor said this "developed some sense of Slipknot in ()."〔 While ''Halloween'' introduced Taylor to masks and horror themes, Taylor's grandmother introduced him to rock music, showing him a collection of Elvis Presley records from the mid-fifties to late seventies. He especially found some songs like "Teddy Bear", "In the Ghetto", and "Suspicious Minds", to appeal to his interests the most, describing them as "good times."〔 Taylor also began listening to Black Sabbath at a young age, beginning with their early work.〔 Taylor, along with his mother and sister, lived at one point in an "old dilapidated farmhouse," which on days in late autumn would "look like Black Sabbath album covers." By age fifteen, Taylor had developed a drug addiction and had overdosed on cocaine twice.〔 By this time, Taylor was living in Waterloo, Iowa, but later set out on his own and ended up at his grandmother's house in Iowa. She took legal custody of him and helped him buy musical equipment.〔 When Taylor was eighteen, he left his grandmother's home and went to various places, Des Moines being a place to which he frequently returned. In his early twenties, when Taylor was living with his grandmother, he attempted suicide by way of overdose.
