Herner Klenthur aka Meh

Position: Owner

Herner Klenthur founded HorrorMovies.ca and is not a writer in any sense of the word. He is a passionate horror fan who loves the genre and is looking to educate and learn with the community about the horror genre. Herner is an information technology manager and does quite a bit of the design and code you see as well as the day to day news blogging. Herner is located in Canada.


Deth_Banger aka Chris

Position: Day to Day News

Hailing from across the pond in England Deth_Banger has been an avid horror fan for many years currently living with his fiancée and 10 year old stepson. He is an absolute fan-boy of Megadeth hence the name Deth_Banger, it has nothing to do with necrophilia regardless of what anyone says. He was once an amateur wrestler and has made a couple of no-budget horror films.

Lola Savage

Position: Critic

Situated on the east coast of the US, and working her way up, Lola works part time for her local movie theater, which helps her see the latest releases. She got her first taste of horror by way of A Nightmare on Elm St. reruns on late night television. No more than 12, she would force her friends and younger brother to watch in fear while she remained totally enthralled. The Michael Jackson “Thriller” video was also popular around Halloween and the dancing zombies had her hooked.Now at the ripe age of 22 and already married, Lola’s found a calling in telling people what she thinks of the latest horror trends. She’s no stranger to having opinions; this is just the first time she gets to publish them. And everyone knows she’s not afraid to be brutally honest, even if it’s an unpopular decision.


PoppaScotch aka John.

Position:Weekly Editorial

John Woginrich (Woah^guh -in-rich)  hails from Northeastern Pennsylvania U.S and was raised on a healthy dose of local Mom and Pops video store VHS rentals since 1989, which was way too soon for a young boy to be watching all of that gore and nudity.  Luckily he has two older sisters that loved to be scared and willing to rent anything that his young mind asked for.  Carpenter and Romero round out his personal stable of heroes, but John is always on the lookout for new and exciting talent in the genre by absorbing as many horror films as time permits him outside of his career as a Commercial Networking Engineer.  Outside of horror-movies.ca, John spends his free time writing in various mediums of horror including texts on analysis, fiction, and screenplays (none of which have made this poor bastard any money… yet) and spends way too much time absorbing popular culture.


Sam Inglis [a.k.a. Sam Inglis]

Position: Weekly Editorial

Sam is from the UK and was raised in the dark days of the 1990′s, when, in the UK, horror was under attack from moral crusaders and censors alike. It was an interest in censorship that first triggered – and often still drives – his love of horror. Sam’s favourite horror movies include Martyrs, Cannibal Holocaust, The Mummy [1932] and The Wicker Man. He’s annoyed by remakes, seeing the same scares in every ghost movie, and Julia Roberts (not horror related I know, but can you blame him?) Sam is also a voracious film buff outside of the horror genre and runs his own site as well as writing for frontrowreviews.co.uk and presenting and guesting on various film podcasts. He lacks the imagination to invent a witty/scary handle for himself.


Cap Howdy

Position:Community Overlord

Not much is known about Cap Howdy, and that’s just the way he likes it. He never started out with the intention of being a writer but for some reason Meh thought it was a good idea to shanghai him for the role anyway. Strangely enough it worked and now Cap writes for several sites. Cap will only write about things that interest him which isn’t a real problem as his short attention span means he’s interested in pretty much anything.

He clearly remembers being scared by the Zuni doll from Trilogy of Terror at the age of 7 and laughing at it when aged 8. From that point on his lifelong passion for horror was fixed. Cap has spent the intervening years searching for a horror movie that will give him the same visceral sense of fear that the Zuni doll gave him at age 7. The search continues. He currently resides in a top secret research facility somewhere in the UK where he has written articles on many topics apart from horror including computer security and new technology.

    This really exciting for horror fans!

    CNN called Ivonna Cadaver the new Queen of Horror. Her show is like the old Elvira shows (Elvira Retired) but features all indie horror directors and movies. She’s pretty funny. You can see her here:

    Hey guys! You were kind enough to spread the word about my short Beating Hearts, so I thought I’d send along this link to a screening of all of my films that I have coming up in Montreal. Thanks again!

    Hey You Guys ~
    I just stumbled
    across this great Web Series I think you will love! It is a little Paranormal Activity but with a cute
    teenage girl instead of a cute not-teenage couple, right?  And I actually think it is scary, but I am
    kind of a wuss. The episodes are super short (love that!), and the lead is
    completely adorable.

    The show is called The Haunting of Sunshine Girl and this is the trailer for it, I
    guess:  http://youtu.be/Pcmvs82V1uU
    Check it out and
    let me know what you think!    

    ~ Thanks, Lori

    I love you guys, constantly checking your reviews and list’s!!
    I am a photographer, horror is my favorite :) Hopefully one day will make some short films or maybe even a full blown horror film but I’m not going to get ahead of myself.
    ANYWAYS.
    A lot of the films you have listed, I can’t find and it’s heartbreaking. I always feel like I’m missing out on the best storys, because they are usually harder to find.
    The Perfect House, can’t find that one….Playback, that seems like a decent plot…
    I could go on and on, I was basically just going to see if you had any suggestions on where I could download/buy these films??

    P.S, I love how open minded your opinions are Lola :) A lot of horror critics piss me off. EXAMPLE: If you are a horror movie fanatic like myself I truly believe you would be in love with “Human Centipede 1 & 2″ just because of the fact it is terrifying and brutal. Which is what a good horror movie IS! Bone Chilling…anyways, the amount of negative reviews I have seen about that film is mind blowing!! You guys appreciate that film here!! Got a little off topic there…sorry…You don’t rip apart stories and you appreciate them for what they are and see the beauty and don’t judge when someone takes a step outside of the box. Your review of “Hiss” was awesome, to be able to see what the story should and could have been just blew my mind!!

    I apologize for the rant, I’m just excited there are people who love horror as much as me, and I feel a little less crazy.

    PRESS RELEASE: DWARFSPLOITATION

    Description:

    A new book from Brad Paulson and Chris Watson:

    Dwarfsploitation is an entertaining and educational look into the world
    of dwarf cinema. From Freaks to Willow, Dwarfsploitation analyzes a wide
    variety of both independent and mainstream films, chronicling the number
    of ways in which little people are exploited.
    It is a must have for any fan of little people or film itself. Includes
    an introduction by Lloyd Kaufman.

    Quotes:

    “Dwarfish reviews about dwarf films seems an odd basis for a book, but
    it’s surprisingly entertaining and enlightening and respectful about the
    little folk. A snappy, unique guide to all films Dwarf.”

    - Joe R. Lansdale, author of Bubba Ho-Tep

    “A salute to Little People everywhere that belongs on every film aficionado’s desk.”

    - Joel M. Reed, director of Bloodsucking Freaks

    “This book is truly a one-of-a-kind. An inspired idea, and an
    equally-inspired book. Chris Watson and Brad Paulson have created
    something special with ‘Dwarfsploitation’. In an age when there seems to
    be books about every aspect of cinema, these authors have
    discovered a niche that had yet to be explored. Kudos.”

    - Andrew J. Rausch, author of Turning Points in Film History

    “Paulson and Watson’s book is a unique perspective to say the least. We
    seem to have books on everything these days, so, why not something that
    is entertaining, informative and celebrates our little friends in
    cinema.”

    - Robert Davi, actor from License to Kill

    “The first time I went to the Library of Congress to do research on
    midgets in film, I was directed to a single tattered volume produced by
    the MGM publicist on “The Wizard of Oz.” I was astounded. The literature
    was virtually non-existent. Later I had a special
    assignment involving dwarf-tossing, and I sought out any dwarf-tossing
    trade association that could possibly be of any assistance. Again, my
    exertions were frustrated. That’s why, when I first heard that
    “Dwarfsploitation” was in the works, I was cautiously
    hopeful but still ready for a Billy Barty headbutt to the nuts. I’m
    happy to say that the resulting book is a resource that we’ve needed for
    60 years, and should take up permanent residence on the Ikea
    children’s-room book shelves of anyone shorter than 4-foot-4.”

    - Joe Bob Briggs, author of Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In

    “Brad and Chris’s book stands head and shoulders above the run of the
    mill cinema book types. It makes little people everywhere stand a
    little.”

    - James Bryan, director of Don’t Go in the Woods

    “It was a short read and I loved it. Don’t overlook it!”

    - Joe Estevez, actor from Soultaker

    “Wow, I’m impressed! This has to be the most comprehensive guide to
    cinematic dwarves that you’ll ever read. Meticulously researched, with
    hysterically funny yet genuinely fond comments by the authors, running
    the gamut from dwarfsploitation to ‘normal’ life.
    A must-have for any film-fan’s library.”

    - scream queen Brinke Stevens
