because horror is for the girlies

Horror is an inherently feminine genre. Who else intimately knows what it feels like to be watched, hunted? To be told from a young age to balance distrust and acquiescence, to never walk alone at night, to fear the dark and strangers? To have your body betray you, transform, become grotesque, and not your own?

Horror has always equally tortured and celebrated the co-eds, the final girls, the scream queens. A victim who feels powerless in the face of an overwhelming force, until, covered in blood, she fights her way to survival. Over the course of the story she transforms, becoming more like that which hunted her, becoming powerful. Who wouldn't choose to be a witch over a wife?

The queers get it too. We identify with The Other, forever exist on the outside, our bodies are already 'wrong,' our desires cursed and futures threatened. The homos are never going to fault you for choosing to live deliciously.

This site is made to be simply another little horror fanzine in the long tradition of outsider nerds gushing into the void about what excites them. Not everything covered is strictly horror; a bitch loves the weird and the eerie too.

You can tell the writing here is 100% human-made cause it reads like an excited homosexual valley girl with no college degree wrote it. Apologies to every English teacher I've ever had, but my being a terminally online millenial has undone all your teachings.

Anything presented here is meant to appeal only to other weirdos, I don't care if you copy it, and I only ask that you don't sue me, re: any links. Have fun, and don't look behind you.
