4 years of updates in the basement...
Long time.
Length of a term of office for a president...length of a high school experience, unless you flunk or red shirt...
Length of time it seemed to take for TITANIC to end...

Regardless...here we are...at this...'milestone' in time.

4 years of a site that has taken my heart from time to time, and TOO MUCH TIME more than once...

How did it all begin you ask?? Or wait, you didn't ask. But nevertheless, I'll tell you:
it began by me being truly angry that a rumor was going around in my local area. A new Wal-Mart was being constructed on the grounds of a former coal mine. I do live in the 'coal region' of PA, by the way. The rumor was that phsycic Sylvia Brown predicted on the Montell Williams that the Wal-Mart would fall into a coal mine. It was not true. She was never on Montell Williams about that issue, and never addressed the Wal-Mart being built..

Read that first report here

The HORROR-REPORT was also the original site to release the information that Jason Miller from the EXORICST died...
HORROR-REPORT had exclusive information on M NIGHT's THE VILLAGE...
The HORROR-REPORT has done extensive reporting on Victor Salva, including a special report asking if he should continue to be permitted to make films...
Believe it or not, but the HORROR-REPORT was the first website besides the AP website to break the news online on 9/11...
The HORROR-REPORT has filed more than 400 stories in the last 4 years, on everything from horror movies, to the election, to terrorism, to war, to weather, to personal issues, to film reviews....anything and everything covered...

The Horror-Report has changed designs numerous times...
The Horror-Report has had ups and downs--more downs--with page visits...

It has reported on Ewan MgGregor's penis, Area 51, terrorism...there were two threats of lawsuits against the Horror-Report...extensive reporting on even Donald Trump's hair!...The Horror-Report has been corrected, saddened, happy, poetic, artistic, in the spirit, even more poetic, depressed...

Not bad for four years...
