3.Terrorific influences and motivations?
missed going to rent tapes like the Glory Days of Blockbuster and the mom-and-pop video stores. It started out where I was renting tapes to friends, and then eventually I made it open to the public by appointment only so people could relive the video store days like a time machine of sorts.
4.Your top 5 into terror,horror gore cinema.
I'm a sucker for any kind of horror comedies, so I would have to say Frankenhooker, Street Trash, Dead Alive, Videodrome, and Blood Feast.
5.Your top 5 into sci-fi cinema.
When it comes to you sci-fi, I love everything Godzilla and Kaiju monster related types of movies. Definitely a Star Wars fan, but I like the weird stuff like Super Inframan, Ultraman, Starcrash, and Robot Jox
6.Are you into extreme metal musick?

7.In your city have horror,terror gore festivals? explain some more.
We don't really have any horror movie related festivals, but I do screenings of horror movies on VHS about once a month at different places throughout Houston. Just to try and bring horror fans together and have something fun and free to do.
8.Morbid future plans?
Eventually I would like to open a brick-and-mortar rental store, that would be part Museum and part video rental where people can come in from all over and rent tapes. Right now I just threw them out of my house by appointment only but would love to have a physical storefront that's open 7 days a week where people can come rent movies out.
