Hello,

I'm a crazy nutcase that lives in the midwest of the United States. I'm on IMDB a lot, so far I've written 128 reviews, mostly on crappy horror movies - and I frequent their message boards a lot (someone needs to tell people Titanic sucks, and often times, that someone is me).

Anyway I love horror. Film and books. I LIVE to discover a new bad horror movie to watch. Especially when I'm looking through FearNet's offering on Comcast On Demand. I freak out when I find a hidden gem - like Phantasm II or Nightbreed, both of which I recently watched and really enjoyed.

Let's see...oh, I also like to invoke Satan a lot, but all for laughs.

Some of my favorite horror films:

1) The Exorcist
2) Rosemary's Baby
3) The Shining
4) Night of the Living Dead
5) The Omen
6) Dawn of the Dead

The Exorcist is the finest horror film of all time. There is no discussion on this, it is simply much better than anything else ever made. Besides the plot, script, acting, direction and cinematography I think what makes this film so intense is the lack of music. There is only the minimal use of music, and for the rest of the film you're really focused on the events of the film. It's amazing.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few excellent movies. I do like your Freddy Krugers, Jason, Michael Mayers, Chucky, and any other franchise. I also love watching newer low-budget movies made this decade - anyone with a digital camera and access to a forest wants to make a horror movie these days, which are total crap - then writing scathing reviews on imdb and commenting on the actors message boards about how bad they suck. The only film of that kind that pulled it off was Hatchet.

I LOVE Romero's whole body of work. I just saw Bruiser, one of his non-zombie movies, it wasn't bad. The music of Night of the Living Dead is pretty much my favorite soundtrack ever. For a few reasons: No one uses orchestras for horror movies anymore. No analogue recording equipment is used anymore, and most importantly the NOTLD soundtrack is very modern. Interesting modern classical music will never, ever be used in any movie, be it low-budget horror or anything else. I loved Diary of the Dead and I think it was better than Land of the Dead.

Remakes suck and should be burned along with those that make them, such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Amytville Horror. Also anything by M. Night Shamalalaanasgdingdong sucks ass too and should be burned, crushed killed and destroyed.

I have a BIG lack in my horror movie viewing because I've never really watched Psycho or much other Hitchcock.

OK, that's all, I know all this is TL;DR but oh well.
