Movies

I like movies that are scary and shocking, or silly and irreverent. I do not like "feel good" movies, or faux-sincere movies ostensibly intended to enrich the human experience (but are really just blatant Oscar ploys). I like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Sin City, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, A Clockwork Orange, Monty Python's Life of Brian, Monty Python's Meaning of Life, Anvil: The Story of Anvil, Re-Animator, From Beyond, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original), Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (both versions), Day of the Dead, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, True Romance, Halloween I & II, ALL of the Friday the 13TH moviesReturn of the Living Dead, Tromeo and Juliet, Kill Bill, Shaun of the Dead, Chained Heat I & II, Reform School Girls, Hellhole, Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years, River's Edge, Natural Born Killers, Heathers, Raising Arizona, the first two Cheech and Chong movies, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Orgazmo, Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and a shitload of others...

I write horror professionally, so most of my favorites, unsurprisingly, are horror.
But I do like some mainstream fiction, as well as some mystery/noir. Some favorites include The Stand by Stephen King, The Shining by SK, The Dead Zone by SK, 'Salem's Lot by SK, The Dark Tower by SK, Off Season by Jack Ketchum, Coven by Edward Lee,
Succubi by Edward Lee, Nightlife by Brian Hodge, Dark Advent by BH, Darker Saints by BH, Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite, The Hellfire Club by Peter Straub, The Throat by PS, Mystery by PS, The Talisman by SK and PS, The Light At The End by John Skipp and Craig Spector, everything else by Skipp and Spector, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, most things from the Hard Case Crime line, Richard S. Prather's Shell Scott books, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, The Water-Method Man by John Irving, Swag by Elmore Leonard, practically everything else by EL, the 87th Precinct series by Ed McBain, most everything by Donald Westlake, Tim Dorsey, Duane Swiercyznski, Victor Gischler, and Carl Hiaasen. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy books by Douglas Adams, the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, and most of Christopher Moore's books, especially Bloodsucking Fiends and Island of the Sequined Love Nun.

I live in Tennessee with my lovely wife Rachael. We have pets galore. I like loud rock and roll music and dark beer. My ultimate goal is total world domination. Failing that, another beer will suffice.
