Hi, I’m Wednesday’s Child: born on a Wednesday, but not necessarily filled with woe. I’m a stay-at-home mom in a small town in Georgia. Like many folks who fancy themselves writers, I have worked at a variety of occupations. One of my favorite ones was working in a weird, independent video store in the 90s. I didn’t make any money, but I did get to hang around and talk about obscure movies. Now video stores are dead, but in my tiny corner of the web, I get to bring back that experience. I’ve been working on this blog for about three years, and I’ve made many movie lovin’ friends during that time. I’ve even connected with some indie filmmakers and gotten to ask them direct questions about their work. That part of the experience would have been a lot rarer in a video store.
I welcome comments and discussion, and I appreciate requests. You can leave me a note here, or contact me by email at initforthekills@yahoo.com.

hey! found your blog via a comment you left on mine. I am also a big horror film fan and critic. Have you seen The Human Centipede? I’d be interested in your critical analysis.

Thanks for stopping by and for saying hi! I have not gotten around to watching The Human Centipede yet, but I have a list of movies people want my opinion on. I’m gonna start going through that list when I finish the 30 days meme and I’ve put Centipede at #3 since I’m feeling a bit embarrassed at not having seen something I’ve heard so many great things about. Your blog isn’t linked to the comment here; where in the world wide web is it?

Oooo…I love horror movies! I watched The Human Centipede a few months ago. Ewwwww….

In a little over a week, I will be watching it too. Ironically, the commenter above who asked for my opinion has a blog about delicious food.

Hey! I just watched the Nesting and did a web search to see what others had to say about it. I’m so happy I found your blog! My husband and I re big horror movie fans, and like Wedneday’s Child, we love the cheesy 80s movies (among others, of course.). I am looking forward to reading your reviews of other flicks! Thanks for the fun. And great writing, by the way!

Oh wow, The Nesting. One of my favorite underrated ghost stories. Those scenes where she can’t make herself leave and the activity of the house really gets going are so nightmarishly fun.
Thanks for reading and commenting! Don’t be a stranger.
