I’m Steve, and this is my new blog. I’ll be posting about my many geeky loves, with an emphasis on horror. Horror movies of various eras, horror comics, horror literature — you name it, and I’ll probably cover it sooner or later. You can also expect lots of comics and classic sci fi flicks to creep in here.
At the expense of apartment space, I’ve amassed a pretty large collection of horror DVDs, from silent classics to 21st century diamonds in the rough. Despite this Mound of the Macabre, time has only allowed me to actually watch about 10% of them. Well, that’s going to change, and if you check this site often, you’ll get to see the results.
I’ve already got lots of things planned, from reviews from the Mound to numerous ongoing features, so come along for the ride.
Maybe one of these days I’ll answer the question I get all too often: “So why HORROR?”
Now, strap in and keep your hands inside the car, please. The Destroy Blog will not be responsible for lost or damaged appendages.
Enjoy the ride!
You should have a movie night — embed old flicks from public domain sites or places like Hulu.
Will there be forums? I have a lot to say about horror. Arguably my favorite genre, as well. And please, PLEASE make “Horror Movies in 30 Seconds” strips in the exact style you did Kraven. You could cover SO many horror plots that way, and it would be perfectly silly.
I don’t know if there will be forums (I’m still figuring out WordPress), but I definitely wouldn’t rule it out.
I’ll definitely be doing some horror flick recaps in this style, though. I’m pretty sure I’ll work my way through all of the bigger Universal Monster flicks–it’ll be fun to draw stick figure Franky, the Wolf Man, etc. Some of the crazier ’80s horror flicks would be fun, too.
Congrats on the new blog, Steve. Sounds like you’ve got all– or at least most– of my interests covered here. In fact, you seem very familiar somehow. In any case, I think I’ll stop by on a regular basis.
And I like the idea of embedding classic horror flicks here. You could even dress up in a silly costume and tell bad jokes during the breaks; it might even catch on.
