I was a "Monster Kid" and "The Weird Kid, The Horror Movie Kid." I found out early...horror is always personal.

Now I make horror for a living. It shouldn't just be WATCHED.

Horror should be ENJOYED.

This isn't some stuffy analysis telling you what's good or bad. Instead, it's a tour of the 1930s through the 1980s--a personal account of how the best and worst of this era gave us so many memories and experiences that impacted our own lives. It's fun...just how horror should always be.

Whether it's crowds screaming in terror at Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Alien, Dawn of the Dead, Sleepaway Camp and so many more; or audiences laughing out loud at The Amityville Horror, Prophecy or Jaws The Revenge--my goal is to show how movies on the big screen or late night cable and home video brought us together. I also examine historical context and its importance to a film's success and why so many reboots and remakes seem to fail.

IF YOU LOVE BEING SCARED IT WILL BE THE READ OF YOUR LIFE!
