Hello all

So I've got too much time on my hands at work. Newbie but oldie - well, 36. I'm from Hull in Yorkshire, UK and it's currently bright sunshine and far too early in the morning. Not really the ideal setting for horror stuff, but there you go.

I've been browsing the forums for a few days now, while pretending to look busy at work. So if this first post seems a little disjointed - well, it's probably a taste of things to come, as I have to keep clicking in and out as people are around. It wouldn't do to get caught, would it?

I've joined the horror community quite late in life, although I have dabbled in the past. Until a couple of years ago I was firmly entrenched in the sci-fi camp, and I've definitely still got a foot in there, but I've taken to horror quite a bit. I have very varied tastes even within this genre - from Asian to Italian to 'video nasties' and extreme horror, and many of the classics (Evil Dead 2 being one of my all time faves, hence the name), and I'm always looking for something new. Recent horror 'experiences' have been of the extreme type - without knowing what it was, I watched 'August Underground - Mordum' recently which was quite a ride.

I've also taken a short film-making course recently, and am hoping to take it up as a hobby. I need to save a bit for a camera but I have some material I've written to get started. On the course I had to make a short - 4 mins - and it's about a guy who is driven to go on a killing spree because he's constantly hearing the nokia mobile phone tune. Cheap, fun, and I got to make some fake blood, which was just a complete bonus. So now I'm writing stuff for future projects.

Anyway, hello to everyone, and big scares to all. Looking forward to becoming part of the community.
