Hysteria Lives!

Hysteria Lives! is 26 years old! In August 1998, I launched the site as a tribute to classic—and not-so-classic—slasher movies. I'd been a fan of the subgenre since the early 1980s, when I was a kid. But it wasn't until the release of Wes Craven's SCREAM in 1996 that it emerged from its wilderness years. With the increased accessibility of the internet, I decided to revisit the humble slasher subgenre and launch this site. I was genuinely surprised that it resonated with so many people. Whilst I may poke fun sometimes, I am first and foremost a fan. The site has expanded to cover proto-slashers, Gialli (Argento, Bava and more), modern slashers (it is the subgenre that never dies!) and international stalk-n-slashers movies, both old and new. As well as interviews with many of the people who have appeared both in front of and behind the camera to bring us the scary movies we love!
 
Hysteria Lives! has also led to the publication of my book, Teenage Wasteland: The Slasher Movie Uncut (published in the United States as The Slasher Movie Book). In addition to The Hysteria Continues podcast, established in 2011, which now has 300 episodes and counting. Plus, I have personally contributed to over a hundred commentaries and extras for slasher releases on Blu-ray from companies including Arrow, Vinegar Syndrome, 88 Films and many more. I have added a new About Me page with details and how to contact me if anyone would like to collaborate on a project.
