This will be my third year posting on GUARDIANS OF THE GENRE! and I think the new year is a good time to start fresh with some new ideas. While I have spent most of my time for the past two years on this blog reviewing movies, TV programs, books and comics in one of my three favorite genres – horror. I have also shared some of my other guilty pleasures as well; such as horror hosts, podcasts and filking. I have also continued to post videos of mine and other genre guardians’ Television appearances and related horror hosting gigs. While I plan on continuing to post entries on all these things, I will be trying to expand on the amount and variety of horror related material that I’m interested in.
One way I came up with to increase the number of reviews on all things horror is I’ve decided to use a grading system on all my reviews from now on. However, I will not go into too much detail on them - other than to give my opinion of them – in hopes that I can write more of them more frequently. I also will be breaking with my standard practice of not reviewing anything that I didn’t like or enjoy. While I still prefer to write and read positive reviews of things, I do think constructively written critical reviews serve a purpose as well. So starting in 2012 I will be writing about the good, the mediocre and the bad in my three favorite genres, one of my favorites of course being horror. I hope to see even more readers, commenters and maybe even followers of GUARDIANS OF THE GENRE!

I'm going to make a New Year's Resolution with some teeth this year and try to clear out my classic horror wishlist.
Somewhere somebody must have copies of these books . . . and I'll do my damnedest to get my claws on them.
