And so it begins....

Hey folks!

I figured the best way to kick off this blog is to explain why I decided to start one in the first place.  It all started a little over a year ago when I moved into an apartment by myself in Kentucky.  I had been living down there for over five years, but this was the first apartment I had by myself in the state.  Luckily, my new place was across the street from two of the best friends anyone could ask for, Brad and Elizabeth.  So began my (mostly horror) film education.

Growing up, I never liked horror movies.  I'll be the first person to admit that I was wimp.  I was just plain scared.  I couldn't get it out of my head that anything and everything I saw in movies could happen in real life.  Not letting me give up on horror movies before even getting to really experience them, Brad and Elizabeth would invite me over for "moviethons".  After watching a scary movie or two, we would then watch at least one comedy and often a few funny YouTube clips.  After a few months of this, the comedy viewing became farther and farther apart.  I watched some truly amazing movies and has so much fun during that year.

Knowing that I was moving out of state, Brad didn't want my movie education to end.  Before I left Kentucky for Illinois, he ended up giving me so many movies (mostly horror).  What better way to let Brad, Elizabeth, and everyone else know my reaction to these movies than to review them on this blog!

Enjoy!
