You know what, people, I’m thinking about starting a site
like YELP for the horror community. It would be a site where independent filmmakers,
artists, authors, or anyone who gets treated to the double standard that has
been taking precedence with websites and horror magazines and conventions can
come and report this bullshit and make it public information so the community
can see the shit that is going on. I think it is time to take a switch to the
buddy network and start giving artists in horror a more level playing field so
they can promote themselves and their work. Shit I just got a good dose of this
just recently. I emailed my press release for Psychotic State The Novel to a site that claims they will take any submissions
and promote you. Well, I sent my press release the same day that honorary Wolf
Pack members Midnight Syndicate sent theirs for their interactive concert they
are trying to fund. Twenty-four hours later Midnight Syndicate had their
funding campaign funded and after two weeks my press release is no where to be
found. But I had a feeling I should have known better because this site heavily
promotes The Soskas and even devoted special section on their site for American
Mary. That right, this should tell you something, that even a site that claims to promote all horror submittions can play the double standard. So what you think horror community? Do we need a YELP list site to remind these assholes that we are a community
and everyone deserves a break?
