What's this all about?

So, it's October. Those who know me know that I love Halloween. I don't need to rehash that point at all.

I'm starting this blog because I need another outlet to write. I don't want to just concentrate on academic writing. It's part of my job, and, while I love what I do, I need something else to keep my writing skills honed. Another aspect to writing a horror blog is that, well, it's my hobby. I love the genre, so why not keep a little record of my own thoughts and feelings on the subject?

My goal this month is to watch a horror movie a day for the month of October and write whatever I feel like about it. Makes sense? Good. I'm not setting out to provide an exhaustive critique of the films, nor am I  offering any expert information. While I did take a film history class as an undergraduate, I won't be bringing the limited information I have from that class to this blog. Well, I'll try not to anyway. I've paid a lot more attention to camera angles ever since.

I know, I know. I already missed a day. That just means I'm going to watch two this evening, which means two posts. I'm not complaining!

The first one will be 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' starring Hurd Hatfield, Angela Lansbury, and Donna Reed, just to name a few.

I haven't decided on the second film just yet. I'll let you know later.

Anyway, thanks for reading.
