About me
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I am an overeducated, frustrated writer. I sold all the romance stories I wrote back in the 90s to the likes of True Romance, True Confessions, True Story magazines... If you don't know these fine publications, they have all but disappeared from this state, but I imagine they are still big in the South. I also sold some porno, real literary trash. In fact, in the early days of internet porn, I got this one site to sign this ridiculo
usly one sided contract in my favor for a porn series. Wrote the series, got my money, and I don't think I've written any porn since. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I have two projects I am invested in right now. One is called Proposition 32 and the other is called Desire. The former is my take on torture porn as vile as August Underground but with plot, character development, sub plots and increasingly disgusting acts, starting with an unnecessary, semi-aestheticized tracheotomy...and, yes, I do manage to get more and more disgusting after that vile act. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Desire is half horror, half techno thriller. I don't know shit about techno thrillers. I reached out to two techno thriller authors I know, and both fizzled out. So if you know a techno thriller author with nautical expertise, I've got an outline... </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">My claim to horror fame? I took an upper division film studies class called Horror Film at the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1985. We watched 31 horror movies (From Das Cabinet der Dr. Caligari to A Nightmare on Elm Street), wrote a paper, and took a midterm and a final. On the day we watched Dawn of the Dead, I had a friend bring me a plate of Daddy Bruce's BBQ ribs and ate them during the movie in the classroom. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I want to ask a lot of questions here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am fascinated by horror, but movies never scare me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Movies can make me jump, but it pisses me off when they make me jump because a stupid cat jumps on the window sill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m also not a big fan of funny horror such as Return of the Living Dead or Toxic Avenger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like horror that takes itself seriously such as The Shinning or Seven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(However, I have a soft spot in my heart for </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 10pt;">Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988)<span style="color: black;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Go ahead, Bob, BORE me!”) Anyway, I want to know what other people think about this shit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know what I think makes successful horror and what doesn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But who am I to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shit doesn’t scare me.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">That being said, I rarely watch Extreme Horror movies beginning to end, mostly because I get bored.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, Irreversible…one sitting, no problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>S&Man…two days, and it wasn’t even that bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just get bored and go do something else for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My existence is very chaotic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Peace! (as in rest in...)</span></p>

Thank you Fearnet. In all my studies, I never came across anything that suggested the original Carnival of Souls was such an accomplishment. Of course, I knew enough that I was surprised the Carnival of Souls was MORE
