Hello - thought I'd introduce myself.

Been lurking about on the site for a while now and registered today.

Likes:

Film: Hammer, Amicus (and anything with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee). Just getting into Japanese horror, although have a long way to go.

Books: Edgar Alan Poe, Dean Koontz, "ghost" stories

Art: Francis Bacon

Wants: Original or copies of 1930s to 1970s horror movie posters/flyers/advertisements

Memorable films growing up: The Creeping Flesh, The Skull

Ideal Sunday afternoon: pottering around the British Museum in London looking at the Egyptian mummies or DVD Hammer horror- fest with curtains drawn

Real life horror: having to have house defumegated following discovery of a two-week old (and badly demposed) dead body (true story)

Dislikes: Gratuituous violence and slasher movies, Hollywood big budget films leaving nothing to the imagination

Look forward to chatting to you all
