-I'm Nick.
-I got into horror when I was just 7 years old in the early 90's, when I was being babysat by this cool dude from church, and although I didn't know what it was at the time, "Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives" was on! It was the first horror film I'd ever seen, and it was a cool experience. Many standout moments (Jason crushing the cop's head, Tommy fighting Jason over Crystal Lake, the final frame with Jason opening his eyes) stuck in my mind after seeing it, and a couple of years later, my interest in horror films started to develop. The rest is history.
-Now, I tend to stick with the "old school" slashers, like Freddy, Jason, and Michael. Though, I have to admit, I have enjoyed some of the "teeny-bopper" horror flicks of the late 90's, like "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Urban Legend," and "Valentine." And, of course, I enjoy the underrated "Scream" trilogy.
-I also really like SCARY movies, because I love to be scared by movies. Movies like "The Entity" and "The Amityville Horror" come to mind. Unfortunately for me, it's hard to come by actual scary movies like that nowadays. :(

[C-Desecration-]

Real Name: Corey

ASL: 16/M/Fort Collins

First horror movie you remember watching: . . . well, I remember seeing T2 (if that counts) at a friends house when I was, oh, probably about 9/10?

Favorite horror movie: Donnie Darko

How did you get into horror: I guess I'm never "in" to it, although I love the genre. Mostly the intelligent, smart horror flicks are my bag, but I'm actually pretty ho-hum compared to most of you. My entire DVD collection probably amounts to 12 movies/tv series. I have both the Family Guy and all four buffy sets . . . that's 6. So I basically have 6 movies, most of them horror. So the answer the question, I probably started to really enjoy horror movies . . . about a year ago, at fifteen. How's that for a late starter?

Freddy/Jason/Michael/Pinhead: I'd have to say Freddy--in the original movie, that is.

Last movie that scared you: I want to day Donnie Darko, because Frank really weirded me out for awhile, but I saw that awhile ago. So, I'd have to say The Ring. Not scared, but unnerved me a bit.

Profession: Author (and I managed to crash-and-burn in the screenwriting business--better leave that to the pros, hmm?)

How often do you visit the boards: During summer I usually come here once every three-ish days, but during school I manage to make my way here about twice a day.

I got into horror like three years ago, but hey i've seen alot in my three years trusts me. The first movie that scared me would be either jaws or critters, when i was little like around five or six i would sneek and watch horror movies once in awhile. in fact the first horror movie i've ever seen would be either gremlins or critters, for some reason critters scared the shit out of me i really dont know why. As for Jaws well lets just say im still afraid to go in the water alone somewhere. But im not like tromitized or anything its just that feeling that you get when your alone in the water, but i love to swim. And i love sharks. Hell jaws got me into marine biology. I study marine life in my spare time.
