A little bit about myself

Hi everyone!
I am Hyland and this is my horror film blog. I am a junior at Lawrence University and I am a Film/ English double major. I am from Chicago, but I am currently staying on Campus for the Spring term. I am excited to analyze and discuss these horror films here. My interest in early cinema and film stems from my childhood. My family was always one to go to the movies and watch all the new films. I was raised on this concept, therefore nothing was off-limits. I was allowed to watch any movie my family deemed respectable regardless of its rating. I love watching movies and discovering new ways to conceptualize them. When I came to college I realized that I had a true passion for film and I ran with it. I decided that if there was ever a time to embark on a study I might enjoy and use in the future for my career choice, now was the time. This class, in particular, excites me because I love horror films. When I was younger they used to scare but I still insisted on watching them. Horror films were the one area where my family would draw the line, so naturally, any chance I got I would be watching them. I've come to find now that horror films don't necessarily scare, so much as they intrigue me. Also, some of them are really funny. Anyways, until next time happy movie watching!
