May I have the pleasure?” --- Stephen King ::::::::::: MY CRITERIA FOR DISCUSSION ENCOMPASSES THE HORROR GENRE AND BEYOND, SO I USE THE TERM "NIGHTMARE MOVIES".

Been distracted by big screens, new jobs and old friends. Now I'm back, for a while anyway.

Somnus, it wasn't a competition ... Just a curious survey. Thanks for voting though. And yes, Rose is lovely, shame she subjected herself to all that unnecessary plastic surgery though.

fair enough, but i like to think of myself as a horror connisseur so i'd hate to think i was too far removed from my fellow fans. to each his own i suppose. FYI, the Rose McGowan pic just became my desktop background. now, that i have my own computer- consider me a regular!! that was a warning- no doubt an opinionated regular!!!

"To each his own" exactly ... It all boils down to a matter of taste. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur also, but hey, there are more than a few instances where I'm the only one championing a particular movie that no one else seems to enjoy ...
So I'm assuming then you've become an email subscriber? Good work, welcome to the Darkness. Spread the word.
Viva Cherry Darling!
