Losing My Blogging Virginity

OK, alright.  I have no idea how I am supposed to start one of these things.  I feel like this moment has been a lifetime in coming.  As a long-time lover of both horror flicks and writing, not to mention an avid net surfer and blog reader, I can't believe it has taken me this long to realize I can do it too.  I do know that there are several reasons why I've let all this time pass before popping my blog cherry however -- Will I be clever enough?  Will I be as entertaining as my fellow bloggers whom I follow & adore?  Will I be met with harsh judgments & negative criticism?  These are just a few of the things that have held me back, but I'm pretty much at a point in my life now where I just don't care.  Blogging is meant to be a creative outlet (of which I am in short supply these days!) and the topic of my blogs is obviously not something to be taken too seriously.  So I'm gonna go for it, & if you enjoy them, keep reading.  If you don't, take it elsewhere.  Now about those topics.  If you can't tell from the pictures (or the blood spattered backdrop) what my blogs are going to be about, then I think a CAT Scan may be in order.  I love horror movies, and more specifically, so-bad-they're-amazing horror movies.  Eighties slashers are my fave, but I certainly do not discriminate.  I've dabbled in the Italian giallo, European zombie, and seventies exploitation fare as well, and mostly to my delight.  I think the term that best describes me would be gore-hound.  If there's a decapitation or an eye gouging or a meat cleaver to the face, I'm there!  Call me sick, but I'm pretty sure if you're still reading this blog, then you too must have a little of the blood drunk in you.  So, in the interest of keeping this short & sweet, and now that I've officially gotten over that first blog hump, I think it's time I dive head first into what I came here to do!  First up, a look at my favorite 80's slasher...
