Um, hi, I’m Justin.
I like horror. Especially in filmic form. And I like to talk about movies, so hey, why not make a blog to give you my opinion on such things? I know you never asked for it, but that’s what makes me so generous. I’m willing to GIVE before you even ASK. Ain’t I grand?
I’ll delve into some horror news, opinion, and reviews of films past and present. There are a lot of horror films out there — probably more than any other genre — so nobody’s seen ‘em all, and while I won’t try to see everything, I’d like to fill in some of the gaps in my film knowledge, so hopefully you won’t mind me binding and gagging you and taking you on this journey with me.
Oh, and why “Zombie vs. Shark”? Because I love zombies. I love sharks (Jaws is my favorite movie of all time). And when you put the two together, you get cinematic magic. Cinemagic.

I’m Sean Hood, horror screenwriter. I most recently wrote episodes of Fear Itself and Masters of Horror.
On Friday, I wrote a blog article about Friday 13th director Marcus Nispel called “My Dinner With Marcus.” It’s about the moment I realized that in order to get the job writing his upcoming project, Subterranean (aka Pod), I would have to eat a sandwich of blood sausage and sliced tongue.
Please share it with your readers if you think they would like it.

Hey Justin,
I wanted to let you in on a horror movie your readers might enjoy reading about. It’s called “The Shortcut” and it arrived on DVD September 29th.
So what’s the movie about? Good question. The premise is simple: A group of teens, on their way home from school, come across a rarely-used shortcut. Turns out it’s rarely-used for a reason. An old man who’s owned a farm there his whole life doesn’t take kindly to visitors. And if you think you know what’s coming next, you have no idea.
Unlike a lot of recent horror flicks, “The Shortcut” has no big special effect budgets or gratuitous violence. The movie’s thrills are created by its creepiness and atmosphere; it builds suspense instead of raising the body count. I’d compare it more to “Halloween” or classic Hitchcock than “Saw” or “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” “The Shortcut” is subtle, smart, and, with its hot cast–including Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”) and heartthrob Drew Seeley (“Another Cinderella Story”)—a great date movie.
I think your fans will enjoy hearing about this movie, which puts a twist on traditional urban legend stories. If you ’d like some more info on the cast and story, check out theshortcutmovie.com. Also, feel free to email me back if you have any questions or would like to arrange an interview with director Nicholaus Goossen.
Thanks,
Mark
