Hey whats up everybody, name's Sean. Played thrash metal in the Bay Area for years (Sacrilege BC, couple records, couple toyurs. Also had a band w/Kontos from Machine Head called GRINCH, Cult band, signed to Rough Trade. Played with bands like the Butthole Surfers. Did some singing with Tom and Gary from Exodus ina short lived band called WARDANCE....etc) and grew up in the 70s/80s (born May '67)

I fucking live for horror films (and just plain old GREAT films...Kurasawa, Kubrick, Argento, etc) Love all the basics like the DEAD trilogy etc. I wont waste time stating te obvious...But what I REALLY love besides all those classic 80s gore flicks (all of which I saw on release!) is that killer 70s nihilistic horror back when PG showed tits, back when PG could actually be s-c-a-r-y...and GOOD telehorror films. Favorites include (theatrical) The Sentinel, The Devils Rain, Race With The Devil, The Legend Of Hell House, The Omega Man, Burnt Offerings, etc and (television-) Dont Be Afraid Of The Dark, The Night Stalker, Moon Of The Wolf, Trilogy Of Terror (the adaption of Matheson's "Prey") andFrankenstein: The True Story....

I collect DivX so if anybody else does lets hook it up! I just got Argento's TENEBRE and the directors cut of DELLAMORTE DELLA MORE last night.

My kinda man!! "Hey" back! I'm skweemkween as you can see from my screen name.I'm a horror chick obsessed with the genre and live for the crunch crunch of a guitar.
I'm an ex-vocalist (in one chick metal band, and one queensryche-esque band)looking to get back into music again.

Welcome to Hell.

Seriously, you will love talking to us schmoes. Collectively, we have enough horror genre knowledge to make Ben Stein (of Win Ben Stein's Money) look like Timmy the retard. (Absolutely no offence to handicapable folks.)

Nice list ya got there. Mine:
Near Dark, Argento, Raimi, Cronenberg, Bava, Lair of the White Worm, Versus, Audition, Tetsuo the Iron Man, The Ring, Ginger Snaps, Return of the Living Dead.

Later.

Welcome to the boards!!!

shootinthehead. This is a great place, I'm sure you'll love it.....I dunno about the Ben Stein thing though. That guy knows his shit.

and I too live for the "crunch crunch of guitars"...or rather the twang twang of guitars. I looooove the blues.
