Movies
I love the art of cinema. I also love a good slasher flick. I have favorite films in every conceivable genre, and am just as happy to watch a crappy 70's Italian Zombie Giallo, Michael Moore's latest documentary or the most cerebral, convoluted bit'o'film the Art House can throw at me.

IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT CHAD SAVAGE / SINISTER VISIONS
MySpace is NOT the way to do it. Email Chad at savage@sinistervisions.com or call him at 312-912-3015; sending him a message via MySpace is extremely unreliable, because MySpace is extremely unreliable.

On other services
You can also find Chad Savage / Sinister Visions on:
Monkeys with chainsaws, zombie jazz men, and other entertaining entities. Basically, I'm interested in MySpace (or any other service of this nature) as a means to network, meet people with similar interests, and keep up with existing friends.
I will not automatically add anybody that sends me a friend request if I can't see a good reason to do so. Don't get me wrong - I'm open to talking to new people. If, however, you're just trying to bulk out your friends list, first, GET A REAL LIFE, then please don't bug me. Also - if your profile doesn't actually SAY anything, about YOU, then don't bother.
If I've sent you a friend request and you don't know me, it's either because:
You don't remember me. It happens.
I'm familiar with you and like what you have to say or what you do, and would like to stay informed about what you're up to
Your profile was so cool I just couldn't help myself
I don't judge friends based on friends lists, so I won't take it personally if you decline.
IF YOUR PROFILE IS SET TO PRIVATE AND YOU SEND A FRIEND REQUEST WITHOUT AN ACCOMPANYING MESSAGE, THE REQUEST WILL LIKELY BE DENIED. After all, I'm not psychic.
