Oh, yeah! Now we're starting to get down to business. What can I say about true horror? It is, as they say, an emotion--the strongest of emotions. Horror, my friends is not the mad obsession of a few aberrant souls who worship Satan and spend their nights revelling in blood-riddled orgies (although the idea doesn't sound half bad). You cannot look at someone and say--there goes a horror lover if I ever saw one--and to try, to pigeonhole yourself into this stereotypicalizing, truly "modern" judge of humankind, this brainless, sheeplike puppet of those who forever seek to establish a world of slave morality, is to show your ignorance about what life itself is. Dare I speak of life and horror in the same sentence? Yes. Horror, my friends, is life. Think about it. At the risk of oversimplifying these concepts, I say to you that horror and life are essentially the same. What happens in horror stories? You find a creation in medias res who experiences things better left unencountered; who then attempts to either run away from these horrible entities or else stands up in the face of certain destruction to face his fears; and who, along the way, usually tries his best to get laid as many times as possible. Always, he ends up dead eventually. This is no different from life. The names of the game, in both cases, are sex and death.
Okay, maybe I went a little overboard there. To return to more timely matters, let's talk about this little horror shack of mine. What things will you find here? Right now, I don't know myself. Any of you who have perused over my other pages knows that I am a lazy man. No! Let me not say lazy. I am an afflicted soul, in battle daily with the most dreadful curse a Darkgenius can be hit with: ENNUI. I have started these web pages in hopes of battling back against this vile soul-leech, but my recovery seems to be a slow, painful one--thus, if this page is not big enough or good enough for you, go away and come back a few months from now, when hopefully my creative juices will be flowing again. For those true afficianados of darkness, my kindred souls, bear with me and be patient--give me encouragement if you like what you see, and send my e-mails denouncing my talents if you do not like what you see. I have often said that it is better to be hated than to be ignored. For now, I will try to list some of my favorite works of horror; perhaps, in time, I can make this a showcase of some original horror stories written by yours truly as well as by you, my visitors. I'll want to have a reference section, of course, because we horror folks have to know where to go to get what we need. Who knows what dark creatures may in time arise from this dank, black corner of the Web?
Here are my initial impressions of The Blair Witch Project.
