I normally don't use this space for personal use, but the visibility is crucial, so I hope you'll forgive me.

I see other people reach their goals within hours for Conventions, vacations, and other non-emergency situations. Let's see if we can do that for a necessary emergency situation. And as I'm scheduled for another surgery soon, I need to handle this ASAP.

Asking for help is one of the hardest things most people find hard … Michael Evans needs your support for Pipe Leakage Leads to Necessary Pre-surgery Repairs.

NEW RELEASE: LEO DARKE'S MR. NASTY

CUT!

Film and TV extras are turning up butchered on set, the only clues being VHS cassettes of infamous, banned "Video Nasties" on the site of each horrific murder. Is a copycat killer at large, inspired by the vile acts depicted in the notorious tapes? Or could the monstrous characters from the nasties themselves be escaping their VHS boxes to stalk the land?

When supporting actor Tommy Wallace finds both his past and the nasties catching up with him, surely it's time to press Eject for the last time. Or is this one obsolete format that just refuses to die? Something is thriving on the violence inspired by the tapes, feeding on a diet of N**i death camp atrocities, axings, and mutilation.

AND THE BANNED PLAY ON...
