Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.
~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.
~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Rue Morgue Magazine's 200 Alternative Horror Films You Need To See
My Take:
For many years now I've enjoyed the pages of Rue Morgue magazine. I must admit, the magazine, and how the covered all aspects of horror entertainment, was an inspiration for me to start reviewing items five years ago. But I digress, the "200 Alternative" is a one off special issue. As it states, a fan wont find the typical and most noted horror flicks in here. These are the ones you may have dig a little deeper to find or give a second chance with another viewing. I'd like to consider myself fairly knowledgable in this realm and there's a good handful of movies I had never heard of here.
I believe this issue is still available for downloads through online outlets. You can always find out more about it at the Rue Morgue magazine web site. Get this special issue. Horror fans will not be disappointed.
