Ok, I am new to the site and would like to say, "Hello!"  I love all sorts of horror, but Zombie movies are the best.  I'm also unashamed to admit that I am a die-hard Trekkie (seriously, stop laughing) and I love Bauhaus...both the musical group and the German art movement.  In fact, I just saw Peter Murphy in concert last Friday...Terrific show!  I work for a cruel mistress...Her name is Television. I have a cat and I have a husband and a rather nice patio garden.  I also enjoy photography and reading and a good vodka martini.

Anyhow, hello and I hope to chat more with you all in the future! 

Love, Death-By-TV

Hey there Death-By-TV! You already have a fan in The Zombie Master it seems - due to your zombie sensibility I'm sure. A Trekkie huh? I watched the original religiously through college, Next Generation for a lot of years and I am on my 5th viewing of all episodes of Voyager, my personal favorite. So, they can laugh at both of us...


I'm glad that you're here! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out... I TRY to be the webmaster.

Hi Death-By-Tv

Add me to the people getting laughed at.  Despite the cheesy acting and sets, I still love the original series and the ever-so-over the top William Shatner.  It's amazing that Rodenberry's stories still resonate today. I noticed TNG and Voyager plots were often variations on original Star Trek episodes.

Yep - the original series is sheer genius, then and today, and everything since revolves around it in one way or another.  And William Shatner... cheesiest actor alive, starred in the most enduring Twilight Zone episode AND was the model for Michael Myers???  Damn, he's my hero.

I remember, the episode with the gremlin in the feetsie-pajamas on the wing:)

Twilight Zone was one of the best tv shows ever.  Maybe we should start a thread "what was your favorite episode of the Twilight Zone "?  Not sure if enough people are familiar with it though.

OK guys, this is getting freakier by the minute. I love everything Trek (except Enterprise the series. Ewww). I am a huge fan of the Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Tales From the Darkside, the original Outer Limits, etc. etc. As far as favorite Twilight Zone episodes, mine will always be the one with Burgess Merideth where all he wants to do is be left alone to read. Absolutely superb writing.

I like that episode...you're right, it may be the best - Rod Serling was as brilliant a writer as his stories are twisted.

The episode with William Shatner and the gremlin, was I believe, written by Richard Matheson (I am Legend).  I must say I liked "The Last Man on Earth" and "The Omega Man" better than the Will Smith version.  I especially liked when the vampires explain why it is wrong for Vincent Price to be killing them.

Sorry I'm all over the place here...One thought opens another train of thought and so on, and so on..........

Hi folks, Attrage here. I live in Australia, or the land of boomerangs, man eating crocodiles, and excessively large rocks. I find stupid things funny, ie whenever you see a character on screen and then all of a sudden something (a fridge for argument's sake) suddenly swipes across the screen, taking them out, I giggle uncontrollably.  

 

I am also a Trek fan...although, shoot me, I love Deep Space 9. The darker aspect of it appealed to the horror fan in me, I guess.

I work for a television station. A local NBC affiliate, in fact. Not in front of the camera...behind the scenes, the technical side.  It is an industry that I desperately love and passionately hate and it will most likely put me in an early grave! It's kind of like being with an abusive and emotionally distant boyfriend sometimes.... :-)
