Ah, the 70's. That is when I was first introduced to horror films. My mother and father were horror buffs; they decided to get together and create my sister and I, two strange breeds of horror Superfan. I remember going to the drive-in and watching AUTOPSY, THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN and THE CORPSE GRINDERS. Back then it was OK to do that. It was 5 bucks a carload and the girl taking the money didn't think twice about seeing two little blonde haired girls in Winnie-the-Pooh Jammies sitting in the backseat.

To gain even more insight into who I am here are 5 things I would never do in a horror movie:

1. Call out my friend's name more than twice if we should happen to get separated. If they don't answer me after a few shout-outs I will assume they are disemboweled somewhere.

2. When driving, I won't follow any homemade or hand painted detour signs.

3. I will never need to pee so bad while driving that I will pull over to the side of a dark, deserted road to go. I can hold it.

4. If you and I are running away from a lunatic with an ax and you happen to trip I won't help you up, In fact; I will not hesitate to trip you. I don't need to outrun the killer; I just need to outrun YOU.

5. I will never not listen to the wacky local who announces to me that I will die if I stay at (Insert choice of lodging here), I am just going to take him at face value and leave. I'm sure there is a Holiday-Inn somewhere up the road that will appreciate my business.

But seriously, Thanks to everyone at BthroughZ for making this horror nerd feel really welcome. I hope you enjoy my views on all things horror.
