Looking for new writers for the site - movie reviews!
 
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.

Tony 09-17-2003 08:15 PM

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.

opera13 09-18-2003 01:30 AM

Charlie 09-22-2003 11:41 PM

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.

horror 09-23-2003 04:13 AM

Thanks everyone. I just sent some more PM's to those who replied to this thread recently!

Tony 09-23-2003 04:45 AM

What movies do we need a review for next?

avenger00soul 09-27-2003 05:05 PM

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.

Nick Scholtz 10-05-2003 03:44 PM

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.

Blizz 10-05-2003 07:09 PM

Hey, I can try and help in anyway I can. If you need extra people or any help just pm me.

pbenvin 10-11-2003 05:46 PM

I can help
 
Hey there. I'm a writer here in Michigan with a lot of experience, both as a professional and as a fan. I've had articles published in many publications as well as on line, and I would love to get involved in any way. Hope to talk to you soon regarding this matter.

Killer Clown#1 10-11-2003 05:56 PM

Yo I love writing reviews for horror movies I even do it on my web site. If you need more writers then sign me up, I'd be glad to help:)

Killer Clown#1 10-11-2003 05:58 PM

Here is my e-mail [email protected]

Blood lust 10-12-2003 01:40 AM

Killer Clown#1 10-12-2003 07:15 PM

Killer Clown#1 10-12-2003 07:17 PM

I don't really care just thought it was kind of odd.:confused:

thehalk 10-12-2003 07:18 PM

Killer Clown#1 10-12-2003 07:22 PM

No. I was talking about HORROR the moderator.

thehalk 10-12-2003 07:25 PM

Killer Clown#1 10-12-2003 07:31 PM

That would be cool to own the site. "Ummm I don't have a nuff posts...well I can fix that":D lol

thehalk 10-12-2003 07:33 PM

how? can u do that

ChaoticMinister 10-15-2003 02:26 PM

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.

*Nervous FADE OUT*

ShamSham04 10-18-2003 04:33 PM

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. :)

WalkingDead 10-19-2003 10:53 AM

i am new, but i am willing. i have had some great reviews. if you want to see one of my good ones emial me at [email protected]

Colm O' Toole 10-21-2003 06:39 AM

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!!!!

Loomis99 10-23-2003 07:02 AM

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?

FreddyFan 11-04-2003 10:48 AM

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

mudsliptones 11-14-2003 08:01 AM

I want to contribute in anny way I can, I love everything horror related so, feel free to ask if ya need something

SamCostello 11-16-2003 11:55 AM

Interested in reviewing
 
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

Dave 12-11-2003 11:51 AM

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. :)

Elvis_Christ 01-02-2004 08:46 PM

I'm very keen to contribute to the site. I'm a film major (mainly theory) who is a horror movie fanatic. I' be glad to help in any way I can. You can contact me (Tim) at [email protected].

driller killer 01-06-2004 10:35 PM

I would definitely be interested in contributing some reviews. I run a horror site www.horrorheads.net so Ive written many a review before. Let me know what your looking for submission wise. thanks

Vodstok 01-27-2004 10:54 AM

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.

Freddy Krueger. 01-27-2004 11:45 AM

Hello, Horror. I, being a huge fan of Horror.com, would be more then happy to help out with Horror.com.

I know theres probley more then a million others who would want to help and are more experienced with writing reviews, but if ya'll ever need help or somthing feel free to ask and I will gladly assist you in anyway possible.
