2007 Bram Stoker Awards

Horror has always been my favorite genre. Not sure why. I'm actually kind of chicken in real life. But since I was little, I have always loved books and movies that scare me. When I was in 7th grade, I picked up the book 'Salems Lot, and it started me down that dark and winding road. I'm always the first one in line for the latest Horror movie too. In fact, I started my brother on it as well. I used to take him to see scary movies when he was little (Luke is 12 years younger than I am). I figured he'd turn out really cool like me, or a serial killer. So far, so good!
