An introduction to my website and myself

Hello,

This is me at a very young age, very stylish...don't be jealous.

For those of you reading this that know me, thanks for visiting the site, and for those of you who don't know me my name is Brian Quinn and I love all things horror. Now I want to clarify that I am not someone who revels in death and darkness, nor am I someone who enjoys the real horror that life brings us and that we are subjected to in the news everyday. The horror I speak of is of the fictional variety that requires imagination and reawakens that child in all of us who would sit up at night staring at the ceiling wondering if that was a mere shadow or a monster.

The goal of this website is to bring my thoughts about various topics including but not limited to: Halloween, Movies, Cartoons, Literature, and anything else that sparks my interest. I am aware that there are plenty of sites that review movies and literature "professionally". I have a problem with the moniker "professional reviewer/critic", as it implies that the person reviewing has a better grasp on a  subject matter than the common person and therefore produces a judgement, whether positive or negative, which is deemed legitimate. But the subjects that are being "judged/reviewed" are all areas that can be perceived 100 different ways.

This is the only critic I can take seriously

 
When I discuss a film or a book I will not be trying to offer a professional review, but rather my personal opinion about a subject that I am highly passionate about. I am not a formidable authority on the subject of horror and my only hope is that when I present a post it opens you the reader/viewers
eyes to something new and allows you to surmise your own opinion.

Thank you for reading this post and join me in my journey to share my World of Horror with you. Next I will be sharing photos from my 3rd Annual Halloween party, as well as some tips for building/making Halloween props and decorations.
