FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is HMF? Is it contageous?
A: HMF is the acronym for HorrorMovieFans, and once you join, it does seem to stay with you for life. 

Q: How much does it cost to join HMF?
A: Nothing at all. HMF is a free forum, with a free radio show, and free advice from all your fellow lunatics.

Q: I’m fucking foul-mouthed and can’t fucking stop swearing. How fucking often will you assfaces censor my motherfucking posts?
A: Ne-fucking-ver. Swear all you motherfucking like. We’re a site dedicated to horror fans. We expect our members to have a thick fucking skin and a good sense of motherfucking humour.

Q: Do I have to register to use your site?
A: You are welcome to read all our forum posts, listen to our Radio show, and vote in our tournaments without registering. If you want to discuss horror with fellow fans, you’ll need to register here.

Q: What kind of time-commitment does it take to become a top poster?
A: Our top posters have become top-posters simply by dedicating a fair bit of time as and when. Except for Zombie, he was born on the site, and that is where he will die an old man.

Q: Who is in charge of HMF?
A: Everyone. In the world of capitalist bliss, HMF has decided that an oligarchical communism is best. Everyone, newbie or old crone, is welcome to make suggestions, try new things, and to become an active and important member. Starting in the forums can lead to writing reviews, reporting news, talking on the radio, drawing pictures, or programming games for the site. All are welcome to take charge of what they feel they can do.

Q: Where do you get all this horror news from?
A: Like most people, we’re no closer to the hollywood A-lists than we are to Scientologists. We try to keep an ear to the ground for all horror news by monitoring websites, reading newspapers, and some of us are lucky enough to go to horror conventions. The best news is always the stories that God whispers in our ears at midnight every Saturday.

Q: Who decides what icons/bands/celebrities are in your tournaments?
A: Technically our tournament directors do, but they are always willing to take as many suggestions and pictures as humanly possible. Join the forum and contribute.

Q: I left a comment on a story, but it seems to have been deleted. Why?
A: In order to give everyone as good an experience as we can when it comes to talking about horror, we’ve left our newsblog open to all comments without registration or verification. Sadly, some spambots take that opportunity to destroy our souls with their talk of free viagra and $20,000 for our clicking of rubbish links. We have to delete such comments and sometimes the good goes out with the bad. We try not to, but if yours has gone missing then it is either pending our approval or it got thrown out with the trash. Please don’t let that stop you from commenting some more.

Q: I’m a huge fan of remakes. Is that a problem?
A: Problem, no. But you may have to defend your opinions.

Q: Do I have to be cool to join HMF?
A: You don’t need to be cool, we’ll turn you into a cool cat.
