Interesting post about early horror fanvids

Early horror movie vidding post here. by jetpack_monkey .

"It's just interesting to see the parallel developments. If horror fandom picked up vidding in the 1970s/1980s, they'd dropped it by the time I came onto the scene (I think -- admittedly I was more of a horror fan than a member of horror fandom). The horror vids that we see today developed out of the tradition and community that came from media/slash fandom and AMVs."

It would be an interesting comparison between media/anime/horror vidding. There was an early Dark Shadows vidding scene, but it was hampered/strangled by a convention organizer who prohibited the copying and distributing of fan vids submitted to be shown at his/her events.

Dear Diary...

Today I am listening to space ship filk songs. And loving fandom all over again.

You can listen to the entire filk album "Minus Ten and Counting" here. But two songs that I liked are

"" (Watch on YouTube)

"It's the loveliest show on this Earth that you'll see;
It's living and real, not just tape-on-TV.
So come to Canaveral, and bring lots of beer.
When the space-ship takes off we'll all stand up and cheer."
(about watching the space shuttles take off and land)
