Hello all. My name is Dan, and I am one of the members of the Philadelphia film co-op Exhumed Films. I haven't posted here in many years, but thought this would be an appropriate time.
I just saw on Facebook that Andrew Bailes, who went by the moniker "The Gore-Met," has passed away. I never actually knew him by any name other than The Gore-Met. I was a regular poster here on alt.horror back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Folks who were around back then (I see Doc Walpurgis is still going strong!) probably remember The Gore-Met as a very opinionated--but very passionate--poster as well. We did not always agree on things in terms of movies, and I think I recall that he angrily accused me of spam posting whenever I would plug Exhumed Films screenings, but I always respected his opinions. Later, he had a very cool column published in Rue Morgue Magazine. By all accounts he was a good guy, a supportive friend, and a loving father. He was only in his early 50s, much too young to leave this place.
I can't pretend I really knew him at all, but I am nonetheless saddened by passing, and thought some of you might want to know if you had not already heard.
Thanks for keeping this place alive. I'll try to stop by again some time soon.
Dan Fraga,
Exhumed Films

Must admit, I didn't see eye to eye with him either, but its always sad
when a former AH poster passes away.
Thanks for letting us know.

He was a class act. The golden age of alt.horror was, in effect, The
Gore-met age.
RIP old pal. Gone much too soon.

That is very sad news. He had sass and wit, which never made for a dull post. Must did back through some of those old pasts going back as far 1998! Still, I must try and not only post when someone dies.

i mainly chalk that up to me being a 15 year old useless cunt and him
being too classy to suffer my foolishness), but it makes me think... -
when i die, my missus is almost completely computer illiterate, i'll be
lucky if my workplace even gets a call saying i've bought the farm. You
cunts won't know (or care, really)
So for future reference - I love and miss you all, bless you for keeping
this group alive, death to CGI centipedes, and it's okay that black
people are loud in cinemas - bless them. Also, good on you for being a
firecracker TWL, but Morrissey is a cunt.

multi-storey that features in Michael Winner’s DIRTY WEEKEND. You know, the
one in which David McCallum gets sucked off in his Jag. Needless to say, I

I'm touched. Actually, I think I was touched in that car park.
