Over at www.darkwebonline.com we're tried to shake things up a bit! We're introducing a new HSF Hall of Fame to replace the current Profiles page. Every month, we're going to add a new star from the word of horror, sci-fi and fantasy film to our Hall of Fame. It could be a director, actor, writer or special effects man. It could be a artist nominated for a single great contribution or a prolific hack. You decide!

The first five names are up in a poll on our forum. You don't have to join, unless you want to make suggestions for next months poll. This months ends of 31st October - Halloween fittingly enough! Play your part in our first introduction!

We've also added twitter and facebook buttons to our site, so now you can see if we have any new updates without repeatedly checking the site. click these to follow/like us.

We're also working on the top 100 Fantasy Film list. Again, you can contribute by make suggestions in our forum. If we agree, adding a review to the forum will also ensure you work is part of the top 100 when it's eventually published!

Finally, we're trying to get our revamped forum off the ground. In addition to the above interactive elements, we've added a few other suggested categories such as "Name that Film" and "New Films", the latter is an excellent place for independent film makes to add their reviews.

So lots going on and plenty of opportunity for you to get involved. We'll be adding some new stock soon, look out for that too!

'Til Next time,

W.S.Sharpe

P.S.

RIP Herbert Lom. Another genre legend now departed.

Welcome to the new darkwebonline.com blog! Here I'll add some comments about, or (loosely!) related to horror, sci-fi and fantasy (HSF) film that don't really fit in with the rest of the site. You also have the chance to reply to any of our comments are ask us any questions you may have about our site. I'm new to this so go easy!

First let me introduce myself. My name is Wayne Sharpe and I have been the owner/chief writer/editor/cleaner/mailman on darkwebonline.com for 10 years now. I have been watching HSF movies obsessively since I was 9 (that being 1987 in case you're wondering). This obsession led me to the misguided belief that one day I could make a living from my interests - hence darkwebonline.com!

Our initial aim was to provide as complete a database on HSF as possible - but then imdb.com pretty much made that idea pointless! Then our aim was to provide the best in rare and obscure VHS from across the world - then cheap but high quality DVDs and online downloads came along and blew that out of the water! Oh well...

So why we might not be at the, err cutting edge of movie websites that we once aimed to be, we are still here, still selling rare VHS and DVDs, and still particularly productive in our reviews and features department.

As touched on earlier, I'm an avid fan of HSF (I'm watching 'The Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver' as I write) and I may touch on some of the films I'm watching here..if I'm not inspired enough to write a full review.

So come back and visit this page and read my insane ramblings - but don't forget to leave comments! It'll be fun to know people are actually reading this...

W.S. Sharpe
