This blog is not interested in reviewing things as we think they should be. I hate critics that try to spout off and tell the reader why the film is “wrong” and “what could/should have been better/different.” Here’s a thought, tell me about the product we received as an audience, the one that someone took the time to create. If that product is incomplete or lacking, ask why; don’t mock and shred and destroy. Likewise, if a product is not what YOU as the VIEWER did not want, then too bad; the product was made the way it was and wishing it were otherwise will not help. I will not tell you to write your own or make your own version, when that happens you get one of two scenarios: the first is the cheap fanfic/slashfic phenomenon, wherein a fanbase latches onto a character and creates their own adventures and the second scenario is the reboot/recycle cycle that we witnessed with Star Wars and which we will soon see with Harry Potter. I WILL encourage you to create your own work, write your own stories, craft your own critiques and think pieces but please, just try to be original. That’s all, let the studios have their remakes. I’ll take the indies all day every day. As for this space? I’ll try to keep it just that, original or at least as original as I can make it.

This space will be focused on exploring ideas in horror, sharing original fiction from a variety of writers, myself included, old clips and articles that I have produced in the past (for better or worse, I’m going to collate them all here) and, of course, reviews and recommendations. This has been a long time gestating, and I am happy to have finally reached the point where I can start this new endeavor.
