Last Monday, My Mom passed away. I'm not usually one to share personal things like that online, but I wanted to explain the lack of content around here as of late.
Being that I am the one of us who does all of the work on the site (reviews, posts, release date lists, etc...), the posts have been light, or more honestly, non-existent. That will change, and I'll try to get back to normal as soon as it's possible, it just hasn't been easy to focus on much since it happened.
Running this website is something I love. Not only because I love movies, but because it's a creative outlet for me, and it connects us (and me especially) to a world full of fellow movie-lovers. I've met a ton of great people from every corner of the world since starting our little site, and it's been nothing but a great experience.
The bottom line is that I appreciate every one of you guys as much as you appreciate what I, and the rest of our little Horror Club, do here. Probably even more so.
So don't give up on us. We're not going away. I'm just licking my wounds and trying to find my bearings.
Love and peace (and of course, Horror)
-J
*I'm Working on the review for The Hallow now.
Condolences my friend. Always have and always will be my #1 horror site.
ReplyDeleteHey, really sorry to hear about your loss. Losing somebody is always tough and nobody would think any less of you for not keeping up regular posting during this time.
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of this site since I first found it, I really like your reviews. Thanks for everything you've done, and I look forward to reading more, when you're ready.
My condolences.
ReplyDeleteLong time reader here. First time I've posted a comment. Just wanted to say that I'm very sorry for your loss, brother.
ReplyDeleteAwww! My condolences to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSo that explains the lack of posts lately and it's super understandable. Appreciate also that you and the gang are exerting so much effort to run this site. Been a fan since I've discovered this earlier this year. Watched a lot of movies, too, that I didn't even know exist because of this site. I'm a regular visitor and seeing no new materials on this site makes me sad. Glad that you're back and just be strong.
Thanks again.
Sorry to hear about your mom... I never commented before but I want you to know that I love your blog, and it has brought a lot of joy to me over the years. Thank you for all of your work.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you. Take all the time you need to come back, I'll never stop coming to the club, which is in my opinion the best horror website out there. Your reviews are informative and funny and I'll patiently wait for your return!
ReplyDeleteMy condolences.
ReplyDeleteI was already wondering if something happened. Take your time and try to stay strong.

My sincere condolences and sympathy for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThis little Horror Club has been my favorite horror film site since I first discovered it many months ago. Enjoyable and accurate reviews and no.1 go-to source for release dates too.
So I am glad that you'll continue to do what you love and update it. All your work is greatly appreciated!
Hope you'll start feeling better soon.
Sending my condolences. Once I discovered your site here, I added the RSS feed within minutes so I'll see whenever you post next.
ReplyDeleteTake your time, we'll be out here.
So very sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need. Love your site, but it can wait.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Dan
Oh boy, I am a constant feeder of your blog and have been doing that since last 2 odd years.. Never did I once think of commenting on any of the movie reviews or posts because well I'm lazy but not thankless. Today, when I read about the situation you are dealing with, I just wanted to say "I'm Sorry", I can't even begin to contemplate what you are going through. Please be brave and thank you for doing what you do.
ReplyDeleteCondolences to you and your family. May you have the strength to get you through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI m really sorry for your lost mate, hope you ll feel a little better everyday. It happened the same to me some years ago after a long illness and it s really tough. Ciao matteo

Hey, you have my condolences. Thanks for everything you do and know that you are appreciated. It is not much, but I figured you should know!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your lost.No problem take all the time you need,we appreciate the work you do here!
ReplyDeleteCommiserations, mate. I hope you're holding up okay.
ReplyDeleteI lost my Mum to cancer in March. It was really sudden.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lecturer and other than the couple of days straight after I wasn't able to take time off. In retrospect that was a real mistake: my work was sloppy (no surprise) and it hurt like Fuck.
I'm saying be easy with yourself. No matter how old we are losing our Mothers is a life crisis like nothing else.
May she rest in peace (yours and mine!)
The loss of someone dear to us is never easy, I wish you nothing but comfort and strength.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and so sorry for your loss. No rush getting back to the HC; we love your site, reviews etc. and are just happy that you'll be continuing with it. Take care.

From the moment I stumbled upon your blog, I was hooked and never left. That was well over two years ago and I will continue reading all your work here at The Horror Club. That's what happens when you write great things about other greatness.
Please, take all the time and space you need.
Love, Kim
