Pax Romano over at Billy Loves Stu has posted a hair-raising meme full of probing questions. I think I'm just courageous enough to answer them, so check it out below:
1: In Ten Words or Less, Describe Your Blog:
1: In Ten Words or Less, Describe Your Blog:
One man reviewing horror movies like it's his day job.
2: During What Cinematic Era Where you Born?
A: The Classic Horror Era (late 30's to 40's)
B: The Atomic Monster/Nuclear Angst Era (the late 40's through 50's)
C: The Psycho Era ( Early 60's)
D: The Rosemary's Baby Era (Mid to Late 60's)
E: The Exorcism Era (Early to mid 70's)
F: The Halloween Era (Late 70's to Early 80's)
G: The Slasher Era (Mid to late 80's) (Emphasis on late)
H: The Self Referential/Post Modern Era (1990 to 1999)
3: The Carrie Compatibility Question:
(gay men and straight women - make your choice from section A)
A: Billy Nolan or Tommy Ross, who would you take to the prom?
(straight guys and lesbians - make your choice from section B)
B: Sue Snell or Chris Hargensen, who would you take to the prom?
After some intense research, I've decided to pick the mean girl Chris Hargensen. It's all about the feathered hair.
4: You have been given an ungodly amount of money, and total control of a major motion picture studio - what would your dream Horror project be?
Honestly, I would choose to shoot one of my own short stories - "The Hanging Tree." Selfishness, perhaps, but it's my money and I'll do what I want!
5: What horror film "franchise" that others have embraced, left you cold?
I'm not sure if Leprechaun can be considered a franchise that has been embraced, but it's the only one I haven't really followed. Once Leprechaun went to space (and the 'hood), I was done.
6: Is Michael Bay the Antichrist?
No, I don't think so. His films are obviously no Oscar-winners, but they are very entertaining. I commend Bay's determination to provide fun films for people to watch that can act as stress relief.
7: Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Frankenstein Monster - which one of these classic villains scares you, and why?
Dracula, definitely. I've never been a fan of the Wolf Man, and the Frankenstein Monster is more misunderstood than fearsome, but Dracula - that guy's got some issues. And he is an ancestor of Twilight, so I think that speaks for itself.
8: Tell me about a scene from a NON HORROR Film that scares the crap out of you:
When the radiator starts making noises in the basement in the original Home Alone. If I were Kevin, I'd be freaking out too.
9: Baby Jane Hudson invites you over to her house for lunch. What do you bring?
A parakeet. I've never had one before, and she's the only one who knows how to prepare it correctly.
10: So, between you and me, do you have any ulterior motives for blogging? Come, on you can tell me, it will be our little secret, I won't tell a soul.
Well, the review items are really nice (hint hint). And I'm always hoping to break into horror journalism. But the real reason is because I love being a critic.
11: What would you have brought to Rosemary Woodhouse's baby shower?
A pitchfork - for farming, of course. And deviled eggs.
12: Godzilla vs The Cloverfield Monster, who wins?
Godzilla! Come on, he's like 25-0.
13: If you found out that Rob Zombie was reading your blog, what would you post in hopes that he read it?
Bring back your movie program on TMC. You had some choice cuts.
14: What is your favorite NON HORROR FILM, and why?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The plot and characterization is so strong that it pulls me in every time. And it's weirder than normal films, which I love.
15: If blogging technology did not exist, what would you be doing?
Scribbling reviews in dozens of notebooks that people would never read. So it's very much like what I do on my blog, except now I'm more environmentally friendly.
Ryne, as always, well done my friend! Thanks for playing.
