Author of The Horror Video blog, I enjoy seeking out new films from the darker side of cinema with a particular passion for reminiscing and revisiting fright flicks from the VHS era. A big fan of the films of Dario Argento, John Carpenter and Wes Craven as well as the more recent creations from the brilliant Guillermo del Toro and James Wan. You can't go wrong with a bit of 70s and 80s horror and if Bruce Campbell's in it then so much the better! A big fan of the stories and work of Clive Barker and HP Lovecraft, I am also an avid reader of short horror stories and novels that delve into the metaphysical. If we're talking about dislikes then I'm always willing to give things a try but my heart sinks when I hear of another 80s classic 'rebooted' for today's mass audience - originality goes a long way and should be respected.
