Night Terror's from a Disfigured Psyche

It's high time I set myself up my own space on the net to log insights into a genre which has captivated me for eons. From a young age I was drawn to all things horror. Starting with films on VHS, my search for all things spooky would move to books, comics, television and music. I've always been perplexed that the genre is dismissed and ignored.
