Hello, Gore Whore

So, let me introduce myself:

My name is Matthew, and despite being told by a good friend that nobody blogs anymore, I'm dipping my toes into blogging about something I hold dear to my heart: Horror.

Saying I'm a "lifelong horror fan" sounds suspect as hell, but there's some truth to it: My gateway was my parents letting me watch the old "Treehouse of Horror" episodes of The Simpsons when I was way too young to be watching those. Like, I'm pretty sure seeing the titular family get turned inside out at the ripe old age of six warped me. Combine that with seeing the first two A Nightmare on Elm Street movies a couple years later and an affinity for the Goosebumps book series, and the genre had sunk its claws into me.

So now, over twenty years after my first exposure to horror, and after many years of watching horror movies and television, I decided to make a proper outlet to share my thoughts about the genre. If anybody's reading this (or still reading this, if they're reading it and haven't gotten bored yet), you can expect a lot of opinions, recommendations, essays and other writings from me on here. My goal is to try to make one or two posts a week, but my blogging habits, like many things, is subject to change.

So, now that I have introduced myself, the blog can actually begin. Enjoy the show!
