You are a VERY lucky man, Vod :)

She writes mystery novels that she doesn't realize are ten times more ghastly than the standard mystery novel and has these sassy girl reporter protagonists investigating incredibly horrendous butcherings that don't quite match the person' s motivation in their brutality. "Don't you see, I chopped up your ex husband and cooked him so we could be together!" I inherited my lack of artistic propriety from her and I hope to write things as repugnant and off as she used to someday. She also worked on a book on the Witch trials which got destroyed in a flood because she didn't type the thing up. My stepfather is more into science fiction and fantasy, but really likes Cronenberg and the Hitcher. My younger brother, who's 17, likes Ju-On, Coffin Joe, Godzilla, vintage, cheesy and action horror, but expects a lot out of movie plots so doesn't really go in for slasher stuff. My six year old brother reminds me a lot of me at his age. The other day he saw the Dark Knight (because the theater in my family's central PA hometown gets movies several months late) and was really into Two Face. I was talking to them this weekend and my nine year old sister was horrified but my brother wished there was more Two Face and said"Two Face has the best face because half of it's all bone!" I nearly cried because of how much it reminded me of me.

Holy CRAP...Your mom is AWESOME!!!...I'll trade ya :D

Your whole family sounds cool :)
