Greetings, my name is Dillon Hinshaw. I decided to make this blog on a whim, as I really wanted to start an outlet that would allow me to express my thoughts on the horror genre. In this blog, I would like to review movies, give impressions, and look at horror culture in general. Certainly, the scope of this blog may widen or lessen with time, but this is currently what I would like to go for with this project. With this, there may be slight deviations into science fiction and exploitation in this blog, though, often horror goes hand in hand with these trappings.
Now that the introduction to the blog is out of the way, I would like to discuss some of my background as a young horror fanatic. I grew up in a relatively secure home in the middle of Iowa. I lived in the country(Still do in fact!), and my only concern was getting overrun by corn fields. My introduction to horror came by way of two my uncles from my mother's side of the family. They both grew up in the horror heyday of the late 70's and 80's, and basically took in everything they could get their bloody hands on. Both were fresh out of college and rooming together when they began to babysit me in the early 90's. These two were probably not the most responsible caretakers, but they were among the most fun. I was essentially exposed to everything one shouldn't be exposed to at a young age, and I loved every minute of it! I just had a staple intake of genre movies, metal music, and some lessons on the evils of religion. Everything was uphill from that point onward (Or downhill if you were my father!). Now, years later, I am still a movie fanatic and music lover, who is working on a degree in elementary education, and trying to take in new knowledge day by day. Regardless, I hope everyone who comes to this blog enjoys the content, and perhaps we can have some nice conversations in the comments below!
See you in the first review,
Dillon Hinshaw.
