A blog for horror fans, by a horror fan!
Welcome to my blog, born out of a love for all things related to celluloid horror. I've been a huge fan of fright flicks since a screening of "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4" at an early age. Not a great film I must admit but I was fascinated by the possibilities the genre can offer in terms of images and the fantastic. It's the purest form of cinema there is, a medium where people go to escape their mundane lives in search of something a little different. Those who ridicule horror movies for being unrealistic miss the point because that is exactly the point. Nobody watches "Dawn of the Dead" and dismisses as garbage because zombies will never roam the land in teh same way "The Sound of Music" never gets a pasting because people don't burst into song in everyday life.
Over the coming months and, hopefully, years, i'll fill this site with reviews, opinions and look aheads to all those movies and events that shake the world of horror. Join me if you will by delving into the sometimes horrific, sometimes comical, always interesting world of the horror film. Let like minded folk join in with me ina celebration of the oldest genre of story and film known to the world of art. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do...
