Gary "El Boy"

macabre, fan-boy style.

diet of Rod Serling's The
Twilight Zone, The Outer
Limits, Night Gallery, The
Hammer Horror Films, and his
favorite, Universal Studio's

Deocampo, Latin
Horror |
But alas, it
was a film that was released
in the winter of 1973, where
his love and perception of all
things Horror would personally
change him forever. William
Friedkin's, The Exorcist was
that film. To this day The
Exorcist still gives him the
heebie-jeebies.
Presently, his affinity for
the horror genre has broadened
and spans the globe. His love
and appreciation for
director's Takashi Miike
(Audition) and Chan-Wook Park
(Old Boy) from the Far East to
Sweden's Tomas Alfredson (Let
The Right One In) to his
favorite, Mexico's very own
Guillermo del Toro (Cronos,
Devil's Backbone, Pan's
Labyrinth).
Gary is a frequent guest on
the pop culture pod cast Fanboy
Confidential, is part of
the writing staff of Del
Toro Films, and writes
for his own horror blog, DARK
RECESS.
In his spare time he likes to
exercise and/or exorcise his
inner demons. The little devil
still resides in the City of
Angels, in a suburb founded by
Puritans (!) with his lovely
and patient wife, his two
equally lovely and patient
children, two hounds and his
pet Cthulhu.
