Looking for more people to interview about horror movies. Help?
Hey friends, I'm yet again looking for people I can interview for my weekly article about people who love horror films, and it's supposed to demonstrate how horror movie fans turn up in surprising places. Ideally, I'm looking for people who have interesting jobs or pasttimes that give them a unique perspective on horror films, who don't mind putting together a top ten list of their favorites. ColdChef was my first victim, but I'm ready to trot out other folks from the mefi/mecha stable (or your weird-ass friends) if the shoe fits.
Feel free to memail me if you have someone to recommend. I'm only a sporadic metachatter, so apologies if this isn't what mecha is "for".
i think the "for" part is goes by common manners: if you just show up to get stuff or pimp/hype something, move along; if we know you, you can try asking.
i wish i was more of a horror fan, but everyone i knew who loved horror is spread far and wide. So they are out there, but i'm not much help right now.
i may have someone later, who is a priest, but i'm not sure if he's still a priest or a horror fan.
It would be great to get a Catholic priest talking about The Omen and The Exorcist. i bet it's not hard to find one of a certain age when those types of films were everywhere.
i wonder who will be nostalgic for torture porn.
