First Post Q&A!

What is this?
Every day in October, I watch a horror movie. And I’ll post a review and stuff on it here. Hence the 31 Days of Horror.

...in retrospect, I guess I didn’t need to explain that.

Who are you?

I'm Chris. How ya doin'?

What qualifications do you have?
I like horror movies. And I think I’m funny.

Define “horror movie”.
A motion picture that was made with the intention of being scary.

“With the intention”? Does that mean you’ll be watching movies that aren’t scary, though they try to be?
Probably. I’ve got a history with enjoying films like that, if the “Plan 9 From Outer Space” poster in my living room is any indication.

How about Halloween-themed movies that aren’t actually horror, like Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Hocus Pocus?
Gotta draw the line somewhere, sadly. All three of those movies are great, but they don’t qualify for this project.

Will you be watching all classics, or more modern stuff?
Both. Previous years have had me watching stuff like the 1910 version of Frankenstein, and I’ve got movies as recent as 2015 lined up for this year.

Previous years? You’ve done this before?
Since 2011, but I started recording my opinions on each movie on my Tumblr blog the year after.

Why are you using Blogger instead of Tumblr this year?
I left the site several months ago. And having a dedicated blog might allow me to focus my efforts more.

How can I make my frozen pizza taste better?
I like to cover the bottom in olive oil before it goes in the oven. Then add pepper, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese after it comes out.

Will you be able to actually finish this year? The past few years had you give up halfway through.
Here’s hoping!

What are your favorite horror movies?
I love the classic Universal Monsters, particularly the first two Frankenstein movies, and The Invisible Man. I’ve also got a great fondness for the Evil Dead series, and John Carpenter’s version of The Thing.

Aren’t you a fan of Marvel Comics? Won’t the release of Luke Cage on September 30 be an issue? Will you be able to watch the show AND these movies?
...I’ll figure something out.

When does this start?
First movie is “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” on October 1! See you guys then!
