I've been in love with horror, sci-fi and exploitation movies since I was a wee lad growing up on Air Force bases across America. This was back in the pre-cable days of four TV channels, when I had to sneak out of bed to catch the midnight monster show with the volume turned way down as to not awake the parents. In the early 1970s I could bike to the base theater and catch first-run films like The Abominable Dr. Phibes, Blacula, The Omega Man, Night of the Lepus and A Fistful of Dynamite for 25 cents a pop. A ravenous film collector in this digital age, I'd be buying and watching these flicks anyway... so why not write about 'em and put it on the web? Thus the genesis of my DVD review site Eccentric Cinema, launched in March 2001. My other interests include politics/current events, history, and pulp fiction. (Favorite fictional characters include James Bond, Count Dracula, Doc Savage, Harry Flashman and Richard Sharpe.) Although a southern white male, I'm an agnostic, left-of-center Democrat who thinks NASCAR is boring. I currently reside in Olive Branch, Mississippi (really a suburb of Memphis, TN) with my wife Catherine and our two cats.
