It's been a while, I realize...
Those of you who know me also know that I've always done every last bit of work involved in Atrocities Cinema.com. It's a lot of work, let me tell you. Sometimes, a guy needs a sabbatical...an opportunity to regroup, relax, actually watch movies, and just generally live life.
Well, now happy-fun-time is over, and it's time to buckle down and really get back into the swing of things. Next weekend (the weekend of March 28-30, 2008), I'll be attending the Horrorfind Weekend in College Park, Maryland. I'm going with a new sense of purpose, and above all, I'm going as a true fan of horror. When I come back, you'll see some changes around here. Some of you will like the changes, some of you won't...I realized a long time ago that I can't please everybody. If you want that, go to another site.
All I can say is that Atrocities Cinema.com is about to get a new, improved relaunch, and when that happens, it's going to be wonderful. The quality and in-depth nature that you've come to expect will still be here, rest assured. Until then...and remember, this is coming very soon...keep it scary!
Yours,
- Matthew Dean Hill, webmaster and sole writer of Atrocities Cinema.com
