It was over a decade ago that I first entered the Horror industry, I started small with a website that was gifted to me by a friend that took a gamble and believed in me and that was when Chupacabra Magazine was born, a small online periodical that primarily focused on independent horror. It never really had a huge following but did later evolve into Purgatory Magazine, this publication felt more gritty and real the problem was that I was never able to dedicate enough time or resources into it, in part this was down to battling severe depression. The problem was I would get inside my own head- I would lose all confidence and whatever project I happened to be working on at the time would just fall apart, my mental disease for years prevented me on following through on anything and that is an incredibly hard thing to admit to but it is the truth. In fact in truth there are very few things that I have followed through to the end in my life. After Purgatory Magazine failed I had the idea to build a full fledged media company, this was by far the most ambitious project I had tried to take on to this point, it was ambitious but if done correctly would elevate me within the industry that I loved- the only industry I ever truly wanted to be a part of- the Horror industry. For quite a few years I tried to make a success of Regoregitated Media, I loved the name and I tried to get it out there but I lacked belief in my self and ultimately I lacked belief in my brand. Regoregitated Media would ultimately die as I just couldn’t bring myself to continue, I felt a failure and stepped away from the world of Horror, I still visited the occasional convention but it has never really been the same. After I walked away from Regoregitated Media my life certainly took a turn for the worse, my health deteriorated in ways that I could not imagine at the time and I ended up in a literal fight for my life and the sad thing is that it was mostly my own doing. Well safe to say that due to all of this the Horror industry sadly was not a priority in my life. I had a lot of friends within the industry, many of whom I no longer talk to but I do miss them. I miss having common interests with people in my life, I miss the fun of hanging out at conventions and being able to rub shoulders with other Horror enthusiasts. I enjoyed that life and for years it was a big part of who I was.

Well it is 2026, a year where I truly believed that I could turn my life around and a year that I am truly in the belief that anything is possible as long as you believe in it. So with that said, this year I have every intention of returning to the Horror industry but due to previous endeavors I intend to start incredibly small and build up. I am not going to be launching any standalone horror websites in the near future, rather I am going to be doing some horror blogging right here on my personal site- there will be a podcast in the near future and the return of Gearhead will also be facilitated right here on this site with a brand new show that will be airing on my upcoming YouTube channel. I am also working on a series of short horror stories that will be releasing for free on my blog just to get my name back out there. Later in the year I have plans to start a small production company and will be shooting my first Horror movie, I have a great idea for a female lead- an old friend- but you will have to watch this space. I also have big plans for Halloween this year, which might involve a small tour, I will release details closer to the time. I am hopeful to kick all of this off at Horrorhound Weekend later this month but only time will tell if I am able to pull that off. I am hopeful that this year I am going to be able to get more traveling in and be able to see much more of the country but how well I can do on my projects may well be the determining factor in this. The great takeaway from this though is that I am back with my horrible endeavors, I am as terrifying as ever and I am about to scare your socks off. I hope you guys can join me as I re-embark on this Horror journey, hopefully I reconnect with old friends and make some new ones along the way. Hopefully we can connect and collaborate- share ideas and create stories as there is probably a monster in all of us waiting to get out- ripping, tearing, clawing at our souls- embrace it!
