-My real ambition, a large part of what I want to achieve here, [...], is the creation of the Groovy Age of Horror([http://groovyageofhorror.blogspot.com/]) as a kind of escapist fantasy world, sort of like the Hammerscape([http://www.jasonhenderson.com/introhammer.htm]). In a sense, I'd like the story-worlds of all these novels I review to melt into one grand, sleazy, sexy, monster-haunted, cult-ridden, distinctly 1960s-1970s world of groovy horror. And I'd like the images I post--whether paperback covers or fumetti or movie posters or screenshots--to serve as windows on that world. When you come here, I want you to feel like you're going to that place, and when you click away, I want you to feel like you've been somewhere dark, fun, and fascinating. That's the experience I'd love to evoke. --Curt via http://groovyageofhorror.blogspot.com/ [Jun 2005]+

-:"Jahsonic continues to post more great stuff than I can keep up with. It doesn't look like I can link to individual posts, but the Dingle Dangle magazine cover is a must-see, plus he's got great posts on Erika Blanc, [[Cinefantastique]], Heavy Metal, assorted goodies from [[Bad Mags]], and a post on the word "groovy" that warms my heart!" --Curt Purcell, 2005+
