Hi everyone. We're hoping some new members will want to contribute movie reviews and other articles to the site. For many years, horror.com was a fanzine run by a few people who wrote all the articles, but with this new version of the site, we want to involve anyone and everyone who is interested in contributing.

If you have an interest in writing horror movie reviews for the site, let us know. We have several people already submitting and a few more who have said they will in the future, but the more the better.

We'll be posting up some more specifics on what we need and all that very soon.

Hey. I dropped in the site and I am impressed. It looks incredible. I write horror movie reviews quite frequently and would love to contribute if you would have me. I can send you some of my work if you are interested. Email me at [email protected] and I'll get you some of my stuff. My name is of course Tony. I'm 22 and have been watching horror since age 4 as for a little bit of my horror background. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Tony - sounds cool. We are setting up a private forum for contributors to the site. I'll give you access and we can chat over there. You might already own every horror DVD known to man, but if not, you're over 18, so maybe we can send you DVDs for review too, if you're interested in that.

Check your PMs in a little bit for more info! :)

Anyone else who is interested, please feel free to let us know too.

Thanks horror. I used to be a journalism major (until I took a break from college) so writing really interests me. I would love to learn more about contributing and begin when and if you want me to. Send me more info on how everything works. Hope to start working with you soon.

Hi,
I'd be interested in writting reviews, I have no experience in writting reviews unless you count old school book reviews, I've always wanted to review movies and horror has always been my favorite genre. If you have any interest in a rookie writting for you site just let me know.

I write reviews for my own small website (pretty much for my own enjoyment) and I would love to be a part of something bigger. E-mail me at [email protected] and let me know what's up. I'll be able to send plenty of examples if need be.

I am an avid horror fan. I have watched over 100 horror movies and have a good collection. I'm only 16, but I have a dream to become a screen writer or a film director. My friend and I are the big horror fans of our town and love to watch horror movies frequently. I would love to do reviews for you.

I'd love to help. Movies are my thing. Since Freshman year in HS I've wanted to be a writer/director, even a journalist. I'll be taking journalism and some film courses next semester in college, so that will help. Another thing that will help is that I've been watching R-Rated flicks since I was about 6 or 7... first one? Terminator 2. Plus, film knowledge is my thing: I'm always teaching my friends new things about movies and "the biz" whenever we're watching one whether they like it or not. Well, I'm tooting my own horn, so I'll stop. I assumed that I had to make this innocent response sound like a job application essay.

Should I write up a practice review or something, to give you an idea of my skills? Not sure how this works.

I would love to be a reviewer for this site. I have reviewed many horror movies in the past at another site: www.upcominghorrormovies.com. You can check a few reviews there, like my "Creepshow" and "Night Of The Living Dead" review. On the site, they have a Reviewer Vs. Reviewer challenge on there, and I beat a reviewer who had one twice in a row. I guess that's saying something. lol.

Anyway, please send me some information on what's going on and stuff. Just email me of send me a private message. My email is [email protected]. Thanks. :)

Hey names Colm and I'm new here. I'd be really interested in contributing both movie reviews and any articles on the whole horror genre in general. I study Journalism & Creative Writing in Ireland and wanna be the next Stephen King. If you want any reviews or articles on horror my E-Mail is [email protected]. Looking forward to helping out any way I can to promoting horror it needs a revival. PS. Just stumbled on this site it's fantastic!!!!

I would very much like to contribute some work to your site, having a background in English Lit and creative writing and a more than healthy interest in the genre. I have had a problem in trying to submit work though - The box wherein I'd write has a small icon in the left corner and I'm told there's an "error on page". Is this a problem with the site or is it my arthritic computer?

Sure! I'll do some movie reviews for u. I wanna be a movie critic so this would be a start for me.

Hi Horror — If you're still looking for movie reviewers, I'd love to be involved.

I'm a freelance writer and have written about horror movies, comics and web sites for Rue Morgue.

Outside of the genre, my work has apppeared on CNN.com and www.Samsung.com/MyGuide, and in InfoWorld, PC World and many other magazines.

Like I said, I'd love to be involved, so if you're interested, please drop me a line at [email protected].

Thanks,

Sam Costello

I'm not sure if my reviews would fit in with the site sceme but if you want to check it out, you can see them at http://BadMovieReview.com

However, that is just my review style of why I didn't like movies, so if I ended up reviewing something that I don't like, that is what you would get. Reviews for movies that I do like are different but I don't have any online at the moment. Either way, I'm down to contribute them if you want. :)

Hmmmm. I would also enjoy writing reviews. I hate critics in general, which is why on my site i tend to do an analysis of movies rather than just critiquing them. So far, i have a write up of the Exorcist, if you want to check it out, just click the link on my signature.

Well add me to the list. I'm yet another interested in writing reviews. The first thing I noticed after finding this site was it's lack of movie reviews so it was nice to see you're working on it. I'm sure if you still need people you'll send some info. I hope if you have enough people you'll close this thread!!!

I would like to write some reviews for horror movies. I have seen a lot of horror movies. I like the old ones the best so maybe I could review DVD's and all. I would also love to review "Return to sleepaway camp." When it comes out. Thank you.

Please consider me for reviewing movies here on this site. I write horror fiction -- short stories -- and would love to write reviews on movies.

Even more, I would love to write reviews on horror novels! Has anyone thought of that? A horror literature column? If so, please consider me.

Hey there. I just recently found this thread ( and just recently became a member of Horror.com ) and I'd be interested in writing some, if atleast one, review if I could. No, I'm not experienced with writing reviews, but I sure do have opinions about each one I've seen and will probably see within the future. I enjoy most horror movies (Even the most disliked ones - Yes, I like Bride of Chucky :D ) and see it about two or three times, giving me even a stronger opinion on it. I focus on the storyline, the slasher, the victums, kills and the sequels. I'm not too big on the special effects, budget, and which major celebrity appears in what films - I look at what alot of normal people would look at and notice at the top of their heads. I'm good with working with deadlines, and I always try my best (Atleast the things that are related to subjects I care about most!). So if there are still positions or anything available - let me know! You can either PM me of the website or send me an e-mail here! ([email protected])
