I write because if I didn't I would go crazy because of the people talking in my head.  I love horror, Stephen King was the first author I really got into as a reader and the book The Shining I read over and over and over, then when I realized there was a movie...forget about it I was lost.  I watched all sorts of horror films, the classics like Jaws, the new and interesting and bloody ones like Saw, and the silly and hilarious ones like Dead and Breakfast.
