Hi, Hello, and Salutations

Not sure how best to introduce myself, so I'll just say hello.

I've got to be honest, I've always loved Halloween, but I think it really hit me hard last year. I started watching a number of nostalgic specials, and some old specials I'd never seen before.

Then Halloween was over, and I didn't really want to see it end. So for months I carried on watching things... it faded a bit... then picked up again around march... then faded again... then about August I started itching for it again. And once it hit October, I just went nuts and started looking up everything I could find.

I found this site earlier in the month when I started looking for people I could geek about it, but didn't build up enough courage to post until just now. So... hello again.

I hope to stick around often, but for now I just want to get introductions out of the way. Um... some things about me...

I've also been getting into puppetry as of late last year. I've built two Muppet-style puppets (with another in the works) and a sock puppet, and I've been thinking about how I can apply this to Halloween. I've already got a few ideas, but I suppose I could make a proper thread elsewhere when I actually start work on them.

I've been doing a chronological timeline of as many horror films as I can throughout this month. I'm currently into the late '80s (all of my movies for today are from 1988, not that this will mean much to anyone who reads tomorrow, which will finish off the '80s).

Um... I guess that's enough for now. So again, hello, and I look forward to taking part in the discussion around here. I can't freaking wait until Halloween. (We finally got a fog machine, that's a step up from tombstones and body parts, right?)
