Yes, you too can be despised by yokels who think you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

BECOME A REVIEWER!

CHOOSE A SUBJECT!

Whether you love it or hate it, or just feel somewhere in between, some idiot is going to take umbrage and polarity to whatever you say and write you about it. WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FREE SPEECH!

For our visitors who don't live in a country where they permit FREE SPEECH: See what you are missing?

I'm looking for folks who are mad about fictional Horror, Thriller, Mystery, and Suspense.

I also have two other popular sub-categories in the Movie section, THE SCIENCE MOMENT (SM) and the UNFAIR RACIAL CLICHE ALERT (URCA). If you wish to write for SM or URCA you better be on top of your game and ready to defend your position. Neither are political platforms. They don't bow to religion or "wings".

As for the categories of Movie, Story, Comic, and Music -

Whether you really dig gory Horror books or subtle Mysteries, whether you love Crime Thriller Comics or Science Fiction Suspense movies, or perhaps you just love movies that are so twisted and bizarre they defy categorization, you have found your home.

REVIEWS:

This is how we do it. Speak knowledgeably on the subject (see? You don't even have to be smart! You can be an utter moron and still write for this site as long as you are knowledgeable!). The best reviews give a background and history of the musicians, writers, directors, actors, artists, (all depending on what you are writing about of course) of the subject, as well as the subject itself. Do not reveal spoilers. There is a big difference between describing a particular scene out of context and telling folks the entire movie or story, encapsulated.

Keep in mind that the Internet is world wide, so availability is a factor in reviews.

BOOKS: In Story Time we rate on the Bookwyrm scale and only review books that are still in print. Period.

MOVIES: In Movies we rate on the Shriekgirl scale and only review movies that will soon be released, or are in theatrical release or on Home video. Period (if you can legally stream it into your home, that's home video).

COMICS: In Comics we rate on the Fanboy scale and only review comics within 6 months of their release. We review graphic novels that are still in print.

MUSIC: In Music we rate on the Perplex skull scale and only review albums/CDs/DVDs within 1 year of their release. We review older Music that has been upgraded in someway: digitized, restored, remastered, things of that nature.

* Reasonable is every week, or every two weeks, or once a month - Consistent. Steady. Unreasonable is next week, then 2 months from now, then 6 months from now, then 10 at once.

If you write five acceptable reviews within a reasonable* period of time, I'll send you media for further reviews. Depending on where you live, I may also ask you to attend a World Premiere screening of a movie or give you limited edition books to review or even ask you to attend an actual movie shoot.

To be a reviewer you must submit a 300jpg headshot photo of yourself, preferably in color. Please keep the memory of the pic down to 100k. If you have a website (Blog, Social Media presence, whatever), include that information. Remember, the review is more than just your writing, this is your free platform for self-promotion - through your writing.

Or I could ask you to interview an Artist (Writer, Musician, Actor, Director...)

DON'T BE AFRAID TO PROMOTE YOURSELF HERE!

I cannot stress that enough as that's the point. You're not getting paid and you're not getting laid so BE SEEN! That's what me and all of the contributors are all about. I'm paying for your promotion tool here, your stage to present yourself to the world and not waste your words and time on Social Media posts that scroll away into the forgotten ether in minutes.

So... Here's where you practice being a writer in whatever stage you personally need. This is your first step, next step, or perhaps you're an established writer who needs something more structured than a personal blog: a writer's gym where you can work out.

Promote Your Talent! - but not your ego.

Oh yeah, there's a difference! Here we'll rate from one to five in the following way

5: YOU NEED THIS!
4: Pretty damn good!
3: Not bad!
2: Why did they do this?
1: KILL THIS THING BEFORE IT BREEDS!

For movies we also have a thing called Negative Shriek Girls. For those movies which are so bad they're good! 5 Negative Shriek Girls is also the best. THE TOXIC AVENGER has 5 Negative Shriek Girls. There are no quarter or half Shrieks. We're not wishy washy, we commit.

FAQ

1. Q: How long should the review be?

A: Write to the end, then stop. Our visitors LOVE trivia though, and the more info you can come up with on your subject, the better.

If you found the Trivia online, Link to your source. I don't do plagiarism here.

Also keep in mind that we are reviewers here, NOT critics. I prefer to tell folks what is best, not waste my time setting up one web page after another on what is crap. Of course, from time to time crap will appear by major artists and we just have to deal with it.

Oh well.

Sometimes we also get crap by folks just starting out. We don't trash them. We just don't say anything at all.

Yet some newbies feel that Any publicity is better than No publicity and are fine if we give them a low score.

In that case, okay.

Above all, be honest. Your sincerity will be seen, admired, or slammed in forums throughout the net.

You're doing this not only for the love of these genres but, to get yourself out there afterall. You're building your own brand of yourself and recognition and awareness of who you want to be.

Feo Amante's Horror Thriller is the Oldest Active Horror website on earth. So remember that you WILL be seen!

2. Q: Will you publish old reviews of mine that I have posted elsewhere on the Internet?
A: NO. NEVER.

3. Q: Have you forgot anything?

A: Probably. Ah, hell with it anyway. Have fun and impress me!
