When it comes to horror movies, I know lots of stuff but I’ve never claimed to be cutting edge. That’s usually because I’m so busy mining the past and revelling in vintage terror trends that I often miss the current product when it first sees the light of the projector beam or small screen. But that’s okay. To paraphrase Charles Foster Kane, they’ve been making horror films for over 100 years and I’ve only been watching for 30.

About Chris Alexander:
Chris Alexander is a lifelong cineaste, obsessed with eccentric horror movies, weird romance, black leather and spacey, strange music. Based in Toronto, he was a former critic and columnist for Canadian horror entertainment periodical RUE MORGUE before joining the ranks of the legendary FANGORIA magazine, a publication he was completely obsessed with as a child. He still gets a buzz when he sees his name in the masthead.
Alexander is also a Toronto radio personality (he's the "Friday Film Guy" on AM 640), a film history teacher at the Toronto Film College, appears regularily on MTV Canada and composes experimental music for film, television and his own pleasure. His latest album is MUSIC FOR PARASITES, featuring cues he composed for the feature film AM I EVIL, the short picture COTTONMOUTH, the zombie western THE STINK OF FLESH and many others.
Alexander was the only Canadian film critic chosen to box noted "bad filmmaker" Uwe Boll in the "Raging Boll" event in Vancouver, September 2006. He lost brilliantly but not before spitting great gobs of fake blood at the gleefully insane auteur snarling face.
