About Me

If there's only one thing you need to know about me, it's that I love Horror. Not just horror movies, but the entire history and diversity of the genre. I've also given myself the title of "Worst Goth Ever" which I believe I have earned due in part to my unhealthy love of Football and beer. (Good beer though. Sam, Bass, Guinness, Uerige, and the like.) I also would like to get another tattoo, learn to snowboard, and take up fencing again, but I severely lack any motivation.
Horror movies are what keep me going. My 3 favorite movies are Andy Warhol's "Blood for Dracula", Cemetery Man, and Black Sunday aka Mask of Satan. As far as American Horror goes (Aside from Blood for Dracula, which isn't typical of the usual American fare), I like Return of the Living Dead 1 & 3, Romero's "Dead" movies, Classic Lugosi Dracula, American Psycho, and Army of Darkness.

My Interests

Horror Movies, Literature, Comics, Ancient Coins, NFL Football, Firefly, Gambling, Guild Wars

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to meet more people that love Horror. There's nothing I enjoy more than discussing either the genre as a whole or particular movies with someone who has a solid grasp of the history, depth, and subcatagorizations of Horror. Someone who's able to enjoy Cemetery Man for what is as, but can also love Leprechaun in the Hood 2 for what it is. If you want to talk horror I'm sure I'll be able to introduce you to some incredibly entertaining movies.Aside from horror, if you like literature or ancient history and the like, that's cool too. I have a nice little collection of ancient Roman coinage which I try and identify and attribute when I have some free time to do so. And just to give you a heads up I strongly dislike American literature, and no amount of convincing will change my mind.I'd also like to take a trip to Romania (www.dractour.com) within the next year or two, so if anyone wants to come...)

Me. I don't do heroes. The New England Patriots, Simon Wiesenthal, Pat Tillman, and the Patriot Guard Riders top my list of "awesome people" but I don't call anyone my hero. Too damn pretentious.
