Welcome!
Don't worry this blog isn't about emo, wrist slashing or otherwise. Basically it is a forum for me to express my thoughts on the decade maligned genre of horror. Let's face it folks horror used to be the cutting edge when it came to social commentary but now it's too often a farce. Sure there are rare gems out there floating on a pool of murder/porn and sure there's always been a lot of schlock to go around since the first scream eliciting movie but that is besides the point. Horror used to take a long hard look out our injustices, our fears and the ugly truth of our every day world. Sometimes that feels lost these days.
Now that is not to say that the murder/porn or gorefest genre doesn't have its place or that I am going to rail against it in length in this blog. I'm not here to be a hater. Instead what you are going to find is commentary, reviews and other little tidbits.
These include:
Reel Reviews - When I go out to see a new horror flick or as is more often the case wait for the DVD.
Schlock Holmes - When I settle down to watch something B-grade or worse on purpose, including if I can keep it up one ScyFy Original Picture a week.
The Classics - Either discussing classics of horror movie or writing - sometimes just a director or a author at length.
The Pitch - Short bits where I take an article found on-line at one news source or another and spin it is a horror tale.
and of course the occasional apology for pontificating too much.
So sit back and enjoy the read if you please!
As a warning there will probably be some sci-fi or fantasy that works its way in here now and again.
