Sigh. Sometimes the obligations of fatherhood get in the way of being a horror blogger-about-town. Such as today, when I needed to stay home and care for a feverish
Zombelina rather than head to the city, as I announced last night, to review Cursed Mountain, the new horror Wii game from Deep Silver.
No, I did not get to review the game as promised. HOWEVER, that does not mean that the good people at Deep Silver are snubbing me. No, in fact, they've provided me with an actual copy of Cursed Mountain to give away to one of you fine Vault Dwellers. Here's what you have to do:
Write me a simple paragraph telling me about the first movie that turned you on to horror, and why. Email it to
b-sol@thevaultofhorror.net. The entry which most strikes my fancy will be published right here in The Vault (along with a plug for whatever you'd like me to plug), and the entrant responsible will receive the free copy of Cursed Mountain. So get writing, and get me your entries by Thursday, August 20.
For more info on the game, check out
last night's post, or the
official website.

In It for the Kills. This one should hopefully be a treat for you old-school fans--my
Top 10 Horror Films of the 1940s. So check it out, and let me know what you think...
The first movie I saw that got me interested in seeing more "scary" movies was The Green Slime, at the drive-in with my parents. I was supposed to be sleeping in the back seat, had my pj's on and everything. But of course, I made sure I was propped up enough to see the action as much as possible. The aliens seemed SO scary to me back then! I remember seeing it as an adult for the first time within the last 10 years, and being amazed at how much scarier my memory was than the real movie itself is. But I still love it and am still a faithful viewer of everything horror/sci-fi to come out in theaters, and have done my best to raise my new 21 year-old daughter [?] with a love of the genres.
