Introduction to Geekdom

Hello and welcome to a blog entirely dedicated all genres of horror cinema. This blog will include reviews, music and video celebrating the genre.

            About six months ago, me and a small group of horror enthusiasts took it upon ourselves to penetrate the swollen gash of the horror genre, viewing the beautiful best and dirty worst available to us. It is safe to say we raped it wrist deep, thoroughly exploring all sub genres known to us including giallo, Japanese, Korean, lovecraftian, dark fantasy and plain old nasty slasher flicks.

Our initial idea was to watch a film as a group whilst answering various questions presented to us on a template. We managed this for two giallo films before time constraints concerning work and bitch related arrangements forced the sessions to become too difficult to conduct. Certain members of the group lost interest assuming all films within the genre were shit and not worth wasting their time on, and so our collective became smaller. The two films we managed to enjoy/endure as a group were The Frightened Woman (which is more of a suspense thriller than a horror) and Watch Me When I Kill (which is more a stale shit than anything else). The completed templates have unfortunately since been lost but I’ve included it below so you can a feel for what we were writing.  

(These were originally in nice boxed columns but copy and paste argued with them)

Summary:

Watch Me When I Kill destroyed a lot of enthusiasm within the group, but I’d already started to become obsessed with giallo, sneakily watching more and more without them. I loved The Frightened Woman and so I decided to write a song about it using the completed templates as a guide to the lyrical content. Here it is with backing from my old band:
