So we working behind the scenes at the Horror Blogger Alliance have been talking what we can do to make this a better place, a place you can be proud of or be a part of. We think we came up with a nice solution, first we got this place looking like we want... second we could not be more proud to host such a great place and third we appreciate all the shirt purchases... along with the year round donations.
We are going to make this a simple change, we are going to stop making a month to month posting... as we have found only a certain select few actually use it. That is awesome and once again thank you for taking the time to add your upcoming events, posts, interviews e.t.c. We have had a attack to the site from a hidden spam-thing where we were being told that it is re-directing you to unsafe places. We do not want that, so we think outside of a couple places the comments will be available to those who are registered users... no more "Anonymous" comments.
We are going to make this a "HBA DIRECTORY" which will list all the places like before, but there will be no more need to comment on the month to month thing. We encourage you all to seek out all the members here and enjoy their content and vice-versa. We will still highlight new HBA Members on the monthly basis like before, you will just have to let us know if there is something wrong with your post.
We have Sponsors, Donations and T-shirts that help keep this alive... manly it is you the HORROR people, so please keep moving forward. Let us welcome 2013, we want to LIVE as long as we can... so have a great year!
Are main goal is to share the Horror Sites and the fans who run them... we are just the doorway to those places... so I say "Knock, Knock".
Okay, there are many new HBA Members and you all should check them out, as always "New Members" check to see you are on the list correctly. The new master list is available at top right above the "Donation Button".
IT'S CUSTOMARY TO SAY THANK YOU, OR EVEN BOO...
Some changes are slowly happening, I am very behind... what else is new...
Just a heads up, we have been hit with about a 1000 plus SPAM in less than a week... so I am not sure which option to set for comments. I turned off the "ANONYMOUS" option to prevent the little sneakers to get in... please let me know if you cannot comment anymore. If anyone knows of a better service to avoid all the crap and let everyone who needs to post a comment can.
Lastly we may have a bug that is forcing you to be redirected to other spamming places... I have not encountered any trouble. Damn spam-nuts!
So we got many new members in the month of October and I am still trying to format the last group of sites to the master list. Trust me that it will get done, I am just behind this month, cause I well dammit just got busy. So for the time being please stop over and say hello to the new members of the HBA, some great places to be seen.
Also if you see a mistake or the link is not correct let me know, I will assume that they are and will go to the master list... but quick.
So really all you have to do is visit the scheduled days, read the great review, make a comment and be entered in weekly giveaways... then at the end of the month... be part of the big "Friday the 13th" score box set that features 1 to 6 films... by Harry Manfredini giveaway. The question isn't if you believe it, the question is why haven't you clicked... "13 CHILLS".
We reached and surpassed the 100,000 views here at the HBA and what a wonderful time to celebrate in this Halloween month. Thanks to all the existing members and to the new members, we couldn't reach this without all of you.
Make the click to see "13 CHILLS" and follow to the day...
First, we have had a huge group added on this month, it's only the middle of the month... I only have a little time to share the list, these new HBA Members will be added to the master list soon. I just wanted to get them out to you the rest of the group.

And Last the Howlin' Wolf Records folks wanted me to mention their 12th Score Release "A WARRIOR'S ODYSSEY" by Hollywood composer Penka Kouneva (MIDNIGHT MOVIE and PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS game). A musical odyssey inspired by the traditions of film music and contemporary video games using a conceptual narrative rather than visuals. The album features 18 tracks: Epic Battle Themes interspersed with Heart-Felt Interludes.

We not only got one design, but two great designs from fellow member Jesse W. Campbell from "ZOMBIE BITES" and what a great job. Good news is they are reasonable, all sizes and can be shipped anywhere in the world, so show your support "GET A HBA SHIRT TODAY"... [CLICK HERE] for details. Also please stop by ZOMBIE BITES and thank him for some really cool art.
There will be a "HBA T-SHIRT" giveaway soon from the company "NEATORAMA" that was cool enough to let us add our signature T-Shirt to their roster.
