A place for horror fans to discuss and share news about current, classic, and upcoming horror movies!
(TV shows and any other sort of audio-visual horror media are acceptable as well!)
SERIOUS PART: Debate and personal opinions are allowed. Bigotry, trolling, and discrimination toward others are not.

I have to ask, how old were you in 1983?
Do you know how many people have pc's at that time?
Do you know how many had access to a modem and usenet at that time?
I do. The answer is basically no one.
I was at a very expensive private school in '83 and our school didn't even have any usenet access and forget about the students.
If you were not at a major university the internet and usenet did not exist until about a decade later.
I know....
But some discussions can still be found online.
I remember it really landing big and blowing minds at university in 1992. Even a year or so earlier and you were lucky if there was even a crude form of internal network.
