The New Creature Corner

post #1 of 48
Thread Starter 
We have our staff, our redesign, and our idea done. Just a matter of getting the kinks worked out. It's going to be stellar and different than the old site. As soon as we get the details squared we'll announce the new crew. Thanks for hanging out and here's hoping you fall in love with the new site too.

Nice. Just checked out DC and its pretty cool. Now I'll have 2 homes of horror. Since it's opening on the 7th, I'll only be going to DC for the time being, though.

Can't wait to see it!

I'm really excited. It will be great to have two reliable horror sites. DC is great, but the message boards are less great.

Change is inevitable.

It's already happpened. They're everywhere, talking about smoking ther ganga and fighting back against the man. No one's talking about horrror!

Until they make a movie where Bob Marley comes back from the dead....he will not be on this message board.

Too bad too, I love that man.

Bob Marley vs.The Evil Dead?"No Head on my Dead Woman,No Cry"

Incidentally I heard there will be a sequel to the old HK film Holy Virgin vs.Evil Dead.I barely remember the first one,but knowing HK cinema these days,the new one will most likely suck.

Classic title though.

Great job on the new site guys!
post #34 of 48
Love the redesign Nick. So nice.
post #35 of 48
Yeah, the site looks great, blah blah blah...now, I'm gonna say something that no one's gonna like.

I given it a few days of thought, and I've gotta say, IMHO, I'm totally underwhelmed with the "news" that's going up on the site. I'm not feeling it. Scott Reininger a Prince? That's something we were lobbing around on the boards months ago. Final Godzilla? Way ahead of the curve (unless they're planning on ending the series permanently, which would be the first I've heard of, and I highly doubt that Toho's stupid enough to permanently retire their bread and butter). The guy who's writing this stuff (or rather, rehashing it, since a lot of the info comes off from other websites) really isn't growing on me. Not to flame the guy, but I'm not feeling the horror love coming off of this guy, the personality, which is something I've loved about Johnny, Ryan, et al. Hell, he's starting to make me wish he had put Devin in charge, and that's saying something, coming from me. I know it's early, but is anyone else feeling like this right now? Or am i the only one?
post #36 of 48

Ah Chainsaw, ya hardly know me

Jeez, tough room.

I appreciate your opinion Saw and quite frankly, I expect these type of commets. I know Johnny and Ryan were well loved here, shit I loved them but the fact is, they are gone and we are faced with that cruel new reality.

I am still in the process of getting my team up to speed, you must realize, this all happened in like 4 days. We didn't find out we had this gig until a few days before we went live. I am still in the process of making contacts, getting screeners, blah, blah, blah. I know , excuses excuses. Shit, I got my first actual email scoops just this morning. It is gonna take a little time for press folks to acknowledge the changeover.

All I can say is that we are going to do our best to maintain the high standards that this site has become known for, but christ, give us at least a few weeks before you skin us.

Instead of tearing us down, join the team. It is an open invitation.

You know how to reach me.

how can you compare

Honestly, I can tell you, there was literally NO notice. these guys stepped in with a days notice. you have to give them credit for not leaving the screen blank for a month, but instead they made sure that you all had something to read. These interveiws and reveiws and etc.. are going to be from them, these will be done in their words, not anyone elses, so lets give a little leniency before judging or being "underwhelmed" with the news, I mean has that much news happenned in the past four days anyway?

I understand being faithful to the previous owners, but you must realize the original owners picked these people to take over, I personally think everyone is doing a great job and I should hope we are not going to compare 4 days to a site that has been in ones hands much longer. what we are doing is a change, and honestly I have seen other sites where they change everything, I think it is very classy that they are keeping the site looking the same etc...

anyway, I hope noone hates me for voicing my opinion, we all are entitled. but I am proud to be an actress that has been ask to be a writer for this board, I think it is something new and something different and yes, I want people to voice opinions, thats the only way we can get better, but after 4 days.... come on...


anyways, I have a very good little snipet being posted very soon and yes I expect all of you to voice your opinions to me good or bad...


hope noone hates me for this posting,

Trust me, Robyn, it's nothing against you. And I understand the position you're in, Dave. Being thrown into the lion's den on short notice is a tough road to walk. So I'll give it some time. I just know where my primary stop is going to be when I hit the web for news.

With all of that nastiness behind us, welcome to the boards, guys! I will enjoy seeing you guys post here, and debating the ins and outs of the business.















So, eh...you enjoy the "Arliss?"
post #39 of 48

Glad you understand

I hope that my team and I can win you over and make this is your first stop when you log on.

The boys over at Dread Central got a couple years head start on us, but I have surrounded myself with some great talent, and as they gear up and start sending in stories, I think you will see some great stuff here. Granted different from what was here before, but great nonetheless.

Just give us some time to get our shit together. If in a month you still think it sucks, we can talk again.

Thanks for your honesty Chainsaw.

Nope, these guys were picked by the current owner, Nick. Ryan and I had nothing to do with it at all, we just moved on out and knew he'd find a few smart people with some skills, and it looks good so far.

Hey guys,

I was wondering, with the news and editorial stuff, maybe you could try and throw in a little more personal comment? It's really hard to get a guage of a writer when they don't give away any of their personal feelings/personality about what they are covering.

Hate to harp on about the old CC, but we always knew how Johnny, Ryan, Foy et al felt about certain issues, movies, sub-genres, franchises et al. We got to know them as people, and as a result we trusted them.

Right now, the editorial just reads like it was cut/pasted from various stringer's emails. It would be really cool if you could let us know who you are/what you are about in your writing.
post #45 of 48
You read Blood and Bitrates, right?
post #46 of 48
Yeah, I was really referring to the news section, which is always (for me) going to be the first stop-in point on CC. I've read the new reviews stuff, everything seems to be written by someone different. Are all these guys new CC staff? I guess it would be nice for all the new guys to have a little bio section, I seem to remember something similar for Johnny and the guys, when I first started reading CC.
post #47 of 48

My thoughts

Hi there Birdie,


While I appreciate and respect your comments I would ask that you please give us a little bit of time to find our stride as we grow into this site.

It has only been a little over a week and we started this gig with such short notice, we are still finding our groove. I think the last week has been very good for us and the site is coming along nicely.

Hang with us, that personality and opinion you are looking for will come with a little time and as you not only learn to trust us, but we learn to trust you.

Bios and stuff are being posted as my people get them into me. Click on the About US link to read the ones that are already there.

It only makes sense that the site would be different now that Johnny and Ryan are gone. You can still get your daily dose of their stuff over at their new site. Don't expect us to run a carbon copy of what they were doing. It is not what we are looking to do.

Hang with us, it is only going to get better and better.

The new site is growing on me too. I know it takes time to grow into a major change like this, and CC has the reputation of true love for horror and genre films in general. I'm sure the new staff will do us proud.

I have a question: I noticed with the relaunch that none of the old movie reviews are posted. I'm guessing they are but a memory now?

I'm asking because my independent feature "DAWN" was reviewed on the old CC site and I would like to include the review when I send screeners out to distributors.
