I ordered a copy after reading your comment, and will tackle it after the Fangoria list.Josh Krauterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951130010325374744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852632683063463097.post-23829334343562733292007-04-01T19:16:00.000-05:002007-04-01T19:16:00.000-05:00Over time people change, but change need not equat...Over time people change, but change need not equate to growth. Some cast off influences, loves, and obsessions like a constrictive skin; whereas others build upon them. As a child, I adored monsters and being frightened. I turned to artificial horrors as an escape from the horrors of life. Gradually, my tastes became more diverse, but my love for horror never left me. I would walk to the local video stores and rent every horror film -- shit or otherwise. It was not until I was able to drive -- or be driven -- to our neighbor city over the bridge that I was exposed to art, independent, and foreign films. Tarkovsky quick became a favorite, but I still was overwhelmed by quiet horror films like <B><I>The Changeling</B></I> and remained entertained by absurdities like <B><I>Dr. Butcher, M.D.</B></I>. The "M.D." abbreviating "Medical Deviate" for the retitled and recut American video release of <B><I>Zombi Holocaust</B></I>.<BR/><BR/>I could go on, but I would only sound more and more like a demented douchebag. Anyway, I will gladly join you in this endeavor -- I shall pick up the book on the return home from work tomorrow. Being somewhat familiar with it, I believe I have seen about seventy-five of the films -- though many of them I have not seen in years.<BR/><BR/>If this list falls readily enough, I also have Rue Morgue's <B>The Connoisseur's Guide to 100 Alternate Horror Films</B>.Cloudhurlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948783917106099675noreply@blogger.com
