Drawing, building random props for my own satisfaction, Magic (sleight of hand/bizarre magic), creating random pieces of 'music', puppeteering, meeting fun and enthusiastic people who are passionate about whatever it is they're doing with their lives.
MOVIES
Jacob's Ladder, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Others, Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shining, Ghost Story, Blair Witch, The Orphanage, Nightmare Before Christmas, Trilogy of Terror (just the Zuni-doll portion), Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, 30 Days of Night, 28 Days Later, The Mist (LOVED the short story)
MUSIC
Obviously Midnight Syndicate (although they're wearing thin because EVERYONE plays their stuff), lots of 'DarkWave' stuff. Industrial. Stuff I created when I'm feelin' that 'eerie' mood.
BOOKS
Hannibal, The Mist, Midnight Graffiti collections, Short story collections, old and forgotten horror novels, haunted places books, magic books on cold-readings/seances/bizarre magic
That unsettling feeling that you're being watched. Atmosphere over gore. Ghost stories.
DISLIKES
People who punch people when they get scared. Over-done gore.
ABOUT ME OR MY HAUNTING PASSIONS
At about eight years old my grandmother, who lived next door, called me over to have lunch and watch an hour block of one of her favorite shows...The Twilight Zone. I haven't been the same since.
