Yeah, I don't mean to sound like an ass, but there are twice as many blogs as there are people on earth. No one really cares to read them unless you really know your shit (that's not swearing at you right?) So if you are about to blog about something don't just sit down and start typing, do some research first. Look at your competition when it comes to horror blogs and try not to post about exactly what everyone else is talking about. Look at the history of films and compare, learn a bit about film analysis. That's what I would do.

Then, once you have a few really good, in depth posts you can start advertising. You may have already learned that joining a forum just to advertise doesn't go over well, but you're doing a great job at getting to know everyone and fitting in so far. I will check out your blog later and maybe comment. Good luck.

That's why I anti-blog. Other than the occasional shameless plug or book review, I try to make my blog as devoid of pertinent information as possible. But, if you want to find out how Bigfoot is almost definitely Superman or the sinister connection between clowns and I-Hop, or watch me answer my Spam, it's the place to go.

I'll always respect your opinion and what you have to say on the forums here, but what you find interesting is not what I find interesting...so unfortunately I won't be reading your blog again.

But welcome to the forums just the same. :D

Why don't you stop accusing people of being other people, Lucifer Valentine? Because I happen to know it was you who was Keyser Soze.

I'll tell you a little bit about my love of horror. I love all the slashers, particularly I know what you did..., Urban Legend, Cherry Falls, Halloween, Friday the 13th... I love Texas Chainsaw and am a big fan of the Psycho series too.

I love the SAW series, and I like quite a lot of films that are slighty pyschological/horror like Indentity, Vacancy, Disturbia, The Ring.

Not too keen on the gore-filled films of today like The Strangers, The Cave, Haunting in Connecticut.

Hope I've proven myself a little bit that I am a true horror fan! Jsust got off to a bad start thats all...


So you like all the major franchises from the U.S and you think The Strangers was gory...

And you don't like gore but do like the saw movies...

Yeah, I try to avoid all the newish ones coming out at the moment, because they all seem too similar and I prefer the good old fashioned slasher (which had good storys but not much gore - Halloween for example) And if there was blood/gore, it was minimal or looked really fake!

About the SAW comment, you're right, I don't like gore BUT I somehow love the SAW series, mainly cus the story is really clever, lots of twists but its originality is starting to fade film by film. Plus, there quite predictable as in you always know when the gory bits are coming, so I just don't look most of the time!

Britain never has any good horror films (The Hole being a good example!) Whats your views?

Try some Hammer films, especially THE HORROR OF DRACULA.:)

To me blogging is dumb for the most part.If you have something to really say not just giving a journal entry every hour about the boring shit that happens in your life.
