Oh God, x53 is here

...what's the thread about?

Scaaaaryy!!! don't like them

do you like horror movies and books?

my favorites are Poe and Lovecraft. any readers out there who like Lovecraft???

Have you read any works by these writers?

Joe R. Lansdale

Richard Laymon

Jack Ketchum

Neal Barrett, Jr.

Ray Garton

I think I've heard of Ketchum, but all the others are new to me. You must read alot.

I'm streaky at times......

I strongly suggest Lansdale and the others are very good as well.

Another that I forgot is........Graham Masterton


My friend the comic book artist and writer turned me onto the ones I mentioned. He is a voracious reader.

masterson and lansdale? what do you recommend?
thats quite a fish. take long to land him?

I guess I should jump in here. I want to become a filmmaker.

Lansdale

"By Bizarre Hand" - Short stories
"The Nightrunners"

Masterton

"Master of Lies" - The first chapter will make you clinch your teeth and you'll want a bath after it!.



The fish was really not that big. I caught it from a golf course pond in Myrtle Beach while waiting for the other groups to catch up. I keep a telescoping fishing rod in my golf bag.

I wonder if I can maintain two conversations at once.
lets try.
Well, I have heard about the wild and rugged back country of florida, the horrors of the swamps and the piteous howling of creatures dying in the forests of pine and tupelo. ah, the call of the wild in the manmade ponds of golf-courses. lol. Yeah, since you mentioned he writes short horror stories, I may very well try to locate something made by that one. I write short horror stories.

which leads me to welcome and commend that other chap, who wants to be a film-maker someday. maybe you could do some of my short horror stories someday? wouldnt that be a blast? any chance, you aquainted with the works of the german film maker, werner herzog? he's the best of the best, if you ask me.

Check out the new picture I posted as my primary. You will need to go to my page to see it better.......sorry for the bad pic.

I also need to delete it very soon.........might turn a few girls off!

thats pretty nice artwork there. was that one by your friend? I can see why he got some work paid for over there.
i cant really imagine that having that one picture up is going to make all that much of a difference here. I mean what are the real chances of meeting 'the right woman' on this website, who especially just happens to live near you.
(sigh) I just found out my rating for my picture from the ladies here. damn, and thats the best I can do, too. Oh well, I am used to being alone.

Last House on the Left is my favorite horror movie because it deals with human nature rather than monsters or supernatural events. I'm also a huge fan of zombie movies. Especially low budget cheesy zombie movies like Dead Alive, or Return of the Living Dead.

return of the living dead is a classic, a cult phenomenon like rocky horror. it was an excellent movie made for, like, about ten dollars.

I agree to an extent... Edgar Allen Poe pioneered horror in a way we know today!!

Me?? Don't do horror, too squeamish.... translates as "big baby"!!

exorcist

The re-make of that is good and so is the re-make of the Amityville Horror...It expands on the story line a bit more...I would rather watch a scary movie with a good story line any day than one that is all just blood and guts or with a goofy story line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's how my friend got started. Drawing zombies. Probably his favorite genre.

He actually did a couple of comics on zombies.

'68 .......... about zombies in Viet Nam (being shopped around for a movie deal right now)

"Night of the Living Dead - Barbara Zombie Chronicles"
