When I was around eight years old I started going to a blockbuster near my house. I soon began to wander from my family into the darkness of the horror section. I was fascinated by the blood soaked covers and cool titles. I was obsessed. But I was around eight so I could only look. I used to sneak The Texas Chainsaw Massacre films at night, which used to play on t.v. I would go in my dirty basement and go to my mom's twenty year old t.v and watch the delight of the amazing horror films. These included Nightmare on elm street, Halloween, May, Cabin fever, Hostel, Motel hell, Saw,and the Texas chainsaw massacre films. Skip around three years was when my dad used to let me use my family's video camera. I suddenly began to make short films on them. The first one was a bloody classic I made about a serial killer, but sadly I deleted the footage out of sheer embarrassment. So I kept treading on making almost a short a day. Until the day my mother began to complain about the fake blood all over the house. So I stayed in for a year. And still had hope to make movies. The year I gave up short film making. I delved into independent horror. With Troma, and gore classics or amazing schlock films I was hypnotized. I began to study such filmmakers as Lloyd Kaufman, Fred Vogel, Marcus Koch,Astron 6 and so many others. So fast forward two years and hear I am now.
