In this first post I would also like to introduce myself, I am Terry Sweeney, a college senior studying Information Systems. I enjoy playing music, whether it be alone or in a band. In searching for a topic to start a blog around, I was given the advice to write what you know. This lead me down to one topic, Movies. Therefore I started this blog, mainly as a place where i can write movie reviews, but also there will be times, when i rant about genres, upcoming movies, what is wrong with Hollywood, or the movie going public. .
One of my main interests in film are horror movies. I did not grow up watching the genre, and in fact I was terrified of even watching them. I remember as a child crying after I saw the final reveal in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho of Norman Baits' mother's skeleton in the chair. When family members, or friends watched horror movies I would just leave the room. It wasn't until I saw Shawn of the Dead when i was in high school did I have any interest in the genre. After that I began going to see the teen scream and horror remakes that went to the local theater. I was interested but not sold. It wasn't until college when I began watching horror classics like The Thing, Rosemary's Baby, Dawn of the Dead, and Texas Chainsaw was I hooked. Since then I tried to make it a point to get together with friends to watch a horror, or sci-fi film a week. I consider myself versed in horror and I look forward to documenting it in this blog.
