Thank you for visitng my site! I'm an aspiring author from the pacific northwest and a zillennial which means my horror foundation is comprised of movies like The Ring (2002) and Saw (2004) that inspired my early infatuation with the genre. Now, my core belief behind my takes is on par with other genre fanatics: horror is in everything, and everything is in horror. I believe that it portrays life's multifaceted sides the most creatively and that generally horror movies are more entertaining than other genre counterparts.
I started posting horror reviews in August 2021 to my own site, Red Rose Horror, and sort of onto Instagram, in part to channel my horror rants into something productive. I ideate, research, create, watch, design, post, and manage everything myself without collaborators or artificial intelligence. I spend a lot of free time on horror, including researching films & collecting information about horror titles. I love horror and I'll be involved with it anyways, even if I don't post about it.
In addition to non-fiction reviews I also write fiction (horror novel manuscripts & short stories so far), poetry (including a "published" collection), and non-horror essays (subjects like politics, marketing, and tech). The writing that isn't review or horror based is available on my writing specific site via clicking the red button and on various social media platforms linked on the About Me page.
Further down on the homepage you'll find info about the various review formats I write: Tiny, Middling, Deep Dive, and Full Franchise. Title examples are provided near those descriptions and the dedicated pages are available by clicking the header images.
Shortened reviews that are tiny in length and overview the big picture rather than getting granular on subject matter, plot, or production background like middlings or deep dives.
Longer than tiny reviews and varying in length but typically shorter than the deep dives or franchise reviews I've done. Images are clickable to redirect to that subgenre page and pages are also in the site menu.
Pages and subpages dedicated to the titled franchise including background and individual movie reviews. Additionally movie franchise reviews cover related topics to that franchise like astral projecting in the Insidious post.
In-depth and lengthy projects covering a horror related topic and reviews of media that exemplify that topic well. Vary in length but these dedicated pages are 10+ pages of text readable in drop down menus and on subpages.
My writing specific website is where I post: fiction manuscript info, short stories, poetry, non-fiction essays, and anything else that doesn't fall under the horror review umbrella.
At one point I made videos to go along with deep dive essay reviews like the Coming-of-Rage and Cannibalism in Horror ones. Some of those videos are still up on my YouTube channel but beware the crappy audio. Click the button below to redirect to the Red Rose Horror YouTube.
