  1. Hi!

    Hmmm…. I’m not so good with horror but lets see…

    12 – Nosferatu. Or Let the Right one In. These are the only two in the selection I’ve seen… Of the two I guess I’ll vote for Nosferatu since it came first

    11 – Daniel Mainwaring, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) – I was just talking to someone about how fun that movie is.

    10 – The Creature from the Black Lagoon

    9 – I have no preference, but I’ll vote for Mothra because I like it’s name best

    8 – -Psycho, Bernard Herrmann (1960)

    6 and 7 – Don’t have enough knowledge to vote in these categories

    5 – Dracula (I haven’t seen all the options, though)

    4 – Bette. Always Bette.

    1 and 3 – Don’t have enough knowledge to cast a vote

    2 – Difficult choices! I’m going to vote Vincent.

    Thanks for letting people vote! I’m interested to find out who wins!

    1. VT, As always it is a sheer pleasure to get a message from you. Even more exciting that you voted this year. We all have differing fandoms and stories how we came to love what we love. Thank you for voting. We will learn the winners sometime after November 15.

My name is Louie Matos and I’m a geek. I’m such a geek that the week my best friend moved to Puerto Rico, I asked him to co-write a blog. Of course he said, “Yes!” because I’m SOOO flipping interesting, and because since we’ve known each other, we collaborate even when we don’t know we’re doing it. For the purposes of this blog, I’m the mustache. I’ve had a mustache since I was 12 years old, and I’ve never shaved it off. (We Puerto Ricans love our facial hair.) I was born into my geekdom. My Mom was a collector, and my Dad was a huge reader. So early on Dad would read to me and when he was done with the book, I would keep it until I learned to read for myself. And then I read everything, inhaling books from our school library 5 or 6 per week. When we moved to a new, safe neighborhood, I began to walk to the library, weekly. That’s when I became obsessed with books in general, and horror in particular. In Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, my brother, Marc, and I moved into the basement together. We had our own TV and because we were in the basement, Mom and Dad pretty much left us to our own devices if we let our little sister, Dee, tagalong. There in that basement we would watch creature features, chiller theatre, and horror marathons. We collected comic books, toys, and books. When we could afford our own VCR, we collected movies. So if I were to communicate my geekdom, I would say I’m a horror guy, former collector of Fangoria magazine. I still read 3 or 4 books per week (mostly horror and sci fi but practically anything.) I still read comics when I can get my hands on them (no small feat here in Puerto Rico). Dungeons and Dragons is still a must at family gatherings and we never fight about which is better (Star Wars or Star Trek). We can enjoy both. This blog will have all of that and a whole lot more. Stay tuned.
