Horror-iffic News!

"Words create lies. Pain can be trusted." AUDITION (1999)

Horror is one of my favorite genres. I'm a sucker for blood, guts and suspense. My mother was the original fanatic. Guess insanity is hereditary.

There's some excitement just around the corner for myself and THE ALBIN WAY. I thought I'd use today's post to make the announcement.

BLOODY DISGUSTING (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/)

If you're not familiar with Bloody Disgusting and you're a horror movie fan- you're missing out. This website is hip, ultra cool, and just about the biggest source you can get when it comes to the horror genre.

You're probably wondering why I'm asking you to give a crap.

In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to join the Bloody Disgusting family as a writer. I swore I'd never go back to journalism-style writing, but I think this opportunity is amazing not just for myself, but for the website. I'll be doing DVD Release Movie Reviews and writing up some super features. Oh yeah, and did I mention I'm the only girl?

THE SPLAT PACK

If you're not yet familiar with The Splat Pack- dig out your Wikipedia. The term was coined by Alan Jones of Total Film to describe all of the horror directors that, in recent years, have tested the ratings board and made even the biggest of horror fans cringe. Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, and Darren Lynn Bousmann are only a few of the names that make up this elite group of genre-changing filmmakers.

Recently, I reached out to the producers behind the documentary focusing on these individuals. I'll be doing a review of the doc, exclusively on The Albin Way, before it even hits mainstream film.

Here's the rad trailer-



Let's see if I can make some more waves. ;-)

Peace, Love and Heartbreak ♥
