What is the main focus of your site?
The main focus of my site is the horror genre, reviewing and discussing horror films alongside television shows and books in the genre. I am trying to define what horror is, what people perceive as horror, and what my thoughts are about the horror genre.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
My blogging goals are geared toward my writing skills. Being a student of technical and professional communication, I want to keep myself writing in between undergraduate and graduate school. Using different social media and different blogging tools and platforms, I am expanding my knowledge and skills to better advertise myself for future career endeavors.

And I want to learn techniques to maintain a blog even when schedules get hectic and busy. It is another example of time management and dedication. My horror blog is a project that I am passionate about especially when horror films have always been in my life; it is a wonderful writing sample and so much more.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students?
I prefer an interactive community for my blog, and I have been interacting with other horror bloggers recently. My writing style in the first posts was more conversational, but once I actually started writing reviews it changed to more informative and opinionated. Some of my recent posts have been generating some good discussions, which is the interactive community of blogging that I prefer.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
I have been movie blogging for over three months now, which is not unexpected when it comes to my background of movie watching and discussing with my family. Movies have always been a big part of my life, mostly due to our family renting and buying movies since I was a child.

I post updates ranging from five to eight posts per week, recently I have been updating with seven posts generally. However, if I am accepted into graduate school in the coming fall, my post updates will most likely figure about five posts per week during the busy schedule of work and class.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Repo! The Genetic Opera, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Jurassic Park.

How did you hear about the LAMB?
I found a link to the LAMB on another horror blog, Freddy in Space, and I wanted Gruesome Details to be a part of the Large Association of Movie Blogs.
