What’s up everybody? I hope you’re all gearing up for a weekend full of whatever makes you happy–I know I am. That said, I thought now was as good a time as any to go over some changes that will be coming to Modern Horrors in the next week or so. Consider this a “state of the Modern Horrors union” of sorts. And don’t worry this is all good stuff.

First things first: thank you–each and every one of you. Whether you come here to read the occasional article, share our social media posts, listen to the podcast, watch our YouTube videos, or everything in between, thank you. It means the world to us. We’ve been on the horror scene for 16 months now, and we’ve amassed a truly amazing core base of individuals. You’re amazing, and your continued support is allowing us to grow in ways that we only dreamed of a short year ago. That said, we’re going to have to do some things that growing sites do. And that means advertisements are here.

We use the internet all the time. We know what shitty ads look like, and we promise never to turn you away due to use of an ad blocker. We won’t hijack your screen with full page ads or queue loud-ass toilet paper commercials to play while you browse. We put a tremendous amount of care into the way Modern Horrors looks, and we want our advertisements to blend well. Starting immediately you will see one Google-powered advertisement on the home page and two within the posts themselves. They’re small and revolve around products that Google believes you’re interested in. This is pretty standard stuff, and they pay very (very) little. But hey–every little bit helps. Please consider whitelisting us on your popup blockers, and give an add a click every once in a while if something looks interesting. Beyond that, we are launching MONTHLY TRIVIA CONTESTS!!

Beginning today/tomorrow, you will see a trivia section on the right side of the page. This is a fun and exciting way for us to bring advertisements to the site, and we’re going to help you guys out for helping us out! If you log in to the trivia portal, your scores will be added to a Modern Horrors leader board. The highest score at the end of the month get a new horror flick! This is a relatively new technology, so we’re going to see how it works for a while, but we think it’s cool… and we hope you do too.

I understand that this level of transparency may seem a bit odd, but you all are what keeps MH alive. It’s important that we keep you in the loop. If you have comments or suggestions feel free to shoot them over to us at the Contact Us page. We have a ton of other cool stuff in the works, so we’ll do these from time to time when something important happens. Until then, sign up for some trivia and click on some ads! 🙂
