Hi!

I've just joined after looking around various horror sites, for other places to post other than my usual stomping ground of BD.

Having been MIA for a long while, due to a lack of internet access, I decided to start a fresh there with a new username - Vlad The Impaler. Named after the character from the video of the song of the same name, by one of my favorite bands - Kasabian. I am also using it here and other sites.

I have also just started up a new horror film review site called Cinematic Horror Archive:

www.cinematichorrorarchive.wordpress.com

Putting a lot of care and effort into each article, I write pieces for movies old and new of all sub-genres. My views are blatantly honest and non-biases. You will obviously not agree with everything I have to say, but that is great as it is partly the point of film criticism. My critique is intelligible and sound and I write for newcomers of the genre in mind as well as the veteran fans. I include in each review an original theatrical poster, screenshots, links to clips and trailers, and if available a link to watch the film online.

I am a British expat, and I have just returned to writing for the first time since before moving to Thailand in the new year of 2006. When I was still living in my native homeland of England, I spent four years while in education, trying to break into journalism covering movies and music. I am a big film fan, and horror has always been my favorite genre of all the ones that I am into. I have studied film and I really like to write. Therefore, it makes sense for me to write about cinematic horror, as this is my way of getting involved.

There are only six articles published on the site now, so it is not much of an archive at this moment. I divide my time between teaching myself screenwriting, and always working on the next piece, so over time it will gradually build to a more comprehensive archive. As well as all the American modern horror reviews that are up now, I will also be covering the early Universal era, golden age, British (Hammer and modern), French, Italian, J-horror, Spanish etc.

See you around on the forums. ;)
