Rant!

Okay, so I came back to post another blurb on this blog. I was surfing around and checking out other people's blogs and you know what I have found? A lot!

There are so many different ideas out in the world and it is great to sample some of this by blog browsing (Blogging, blog surfing, blog dipping, what ever the hell you might call it). My blog is a great example, I mean who the hell dedicates a webpage to zombies?

There is most certainly more to talk about than just zombies, so I choose to write a little more on horror in general. One way of looking at my obsession with horror is to realize a little more about where I came from. No, not where I actually came from,(which would be the heart of Houston,Texas) but more like what experiences I have encountered.

I grew up with creature features on late night television all through the late 70's and early 80's. Classic B-movies like "Attack of the Giant Leeches" & "Day of the Triffids". Of course Godzilla was a standard for my entertainment (and still is). But I think that those early exposures and darker readings like Edgar Allen Poe fostered the desire to delve deeper.

One Heavy Metal magazine and a borrowed copy of the original "Halloween" later and I was introduced to my own dark side. Fascinating no? Probably not, but anyway that is how it started and I have much more to tell you...later.
