Jaws!!!...Well, Almost.

Let's start this first post off with a bang. This is a clip for the 1981 classic "Jawsploitation" film , The Last Shark. A film who's plot is so close to the original Jaws that the production company that made the film was successfully sued by Universal studios.

Do you need another horror blog?

Well...do you?


Let's face it, there's probably a million places on the "net" (that's still cool to say, right?) that you could go to read about horror movies, view horror movies, and really anything else you could want to do with horror movies. So what's the point of this blog you ask? What could I possibly hope to add to this over-abundance of information?

Honestly, I really don't know. I'm just a guy who's had a profound love of horror films since I was very young. From the time that I hid behind the couch while my parents watched Puppet Master when I was 6 to when I bought my first horror movie on VHS, Friday the 13th part 2. Horror films are something that I care about and writing about them, in someway, shape, or form, is something that I've wanted to do for awhile. So this blog is my way of finally not being lazy and doing something that I've always wanted to do. 

So, why horror?


Because horror films are fun. Let's face it, if you're hanging out with you're buddies enjoying a few brews and a pizza chances are you're not going to be watching a "true to life" world war two period piece. You'll be watching a horror film. Don't get me wrong I like serious movies like Schindler's List, but it's not the kind of movie I'd like to gorge myself on pizza and beer while watching. I'd rather be watching a 600 year old Spanish Conquistador zombie rip some girl's throat out or a Candarian demon possess a man's hand, causing him to cut it off with a chainsaw.



 If those sound like things that you'd enjoy then you're probably going to enjoy this blog. Well hopefully you will...no promises.
