Oh, the "Horror" of Online Dating!



After spending the last week being sick with the flu, my thoughts have being going to the dark side. And, no, I'm not referring to the Star Wars franchise. Actually, I'm referring to horror movies. For some reason or another, while I was sick, I kept thinking about the 1980 horror classic The Shining, which is an adaptation of the 1977 novel of the same name by Stephen King. I couldn't get my mind off of the movie, so I ended ordering the Jack Torrance Funko Pop! figurine (and I ordered several other Pop!s while I was sick, but that's a whole different conversation). Anyway, I could have sworn I owned the movie on DVD, but I was wrong, as only had the DVD of the 1997 mini-series. To make a long story short, I ended up finding The Shining on DVD at a Walmart in a different county and I watched it late last night.

Lately, one of my new hobbies is sharing photos on Instagram, which most my of my photos are of Pop!s, books, and DVD/Blu-rays. The most popular of my pictures are the ones that are horror related, like the Jason Voorhees & Freddy Krueger 8-Bit Pop!s, the Jack Torrance Pop!, and The Shining DVD. These photos have gotten me dozens of new followers and lots of likes. I don't normally pay attention of who follows my social media accounts, but I have noticed there are many females that have started following me. By just glancing at their usernames and a few of their photos, I would say many of them are horror fans.

This got me wondering if there were dating site that were made for horror fans, and after a quick Google search, I learned there are in fact several such websites!

If you have been following my blog for the last few months, then you would know about my interests in online dating. I'm still debating with myself whether or not I should try online dating, but I do like the idea that there might be a woman out there with similar interests.

Personally, I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for, but I do know that I'm not wanting a no strings dating relationship. I have nothing against anyone who does, it's just not for me. While I do find some older women attractive, I don't want to join a senior dating website to find a relationship. I'm still under 40, so I'm definitely sure I can rule out those types of dating sites.

Horror Passions is the main dating site that's somewhat intriguing me at the moment. Then there's also OkCupid; while the site isn't directly a "horror" dating website, it does list women who have interests in horror movies. I'm sure I have to do a little bit more research before I can find other dating sites that fit my niches, including those related to Tayside dating; though that isn't a really good example, as I live in the United States. Then again, maybe I should give an international dating thing a try. What's the harm? Maybe, the love of my life lives in another country. Should I search for date Strathclyde singles? Maybe there's a lovely woman out there looking for a man from the United States. She could be looking for single men in Ipswich, but in reality all she wants is to find someone with similar hobbies and interests; you know, like me.
