-This site pertains to more short film horror movies and trailers.  I was able to watch a 20 minute movie about alien visitors and it had pretty good gore.  The Horror Movies Blog provides sneak peak trailers of grade B horror movies and gives a good description on the production details of the movie.  It also provides information on contest you can enter to win prizes.

-This site called bloody-disgusting and it provides great intel on the most gory movies of all time.  Its main focus are films such as "Cold Fish" and "Inside" that are so violent they cant be in theaters so they just went straight to DVD.  But man those are some gnarly trailers.  It also provides comic book strips and music from horror movies.  You can get a glimpse at different music throughout the years and see old time horror clips and present day trailers.

-This academic source is something very important I would like to eventually discuss in this blog.  This site provides a timeline from 1900 to present day with major horror classics and thrillers.  This is interesting because I want to explore how horror movies have changed from the early 1900s to 2012.

-This is a very intriguing site about horror elements and what  you can find in films.  It explores the typical element of horror you find in movies such as a fierce creature, supernatural, or murderers.  By reading this site I have found that murderers are people favorite type of movie because it keeps them on the edge of there seat the whole time.  I found this site very helpful in breaking down the main ideas of Horror films.

-British horror films is something that interested me as soon as I read the title.  I never thought to explore foreign horror films.  This site shows clips and films from Britain showing their type of scary movies.  I like this website because it gives you a alphabetical order of scary movie genres that you can explore.  I would like to see if anybody has seen any foreign horror films and how they compare to US films, although I am more than certain US films kick butt and no other nation can compare.
