You may or may not know that Dark Chicago consists of 5 primary websites and a bevy of affiliated sites. The primary sites are DarkChicago.com, ChicagoHorror.com, ChicagoVampire.com, ChicagoZombie.com and HauntedHouseChicago.com*. You may also know (or probably not) that most of the work on these sites is done by one person. It’s time to change that.
Dark Chicago is looking for a Few Good Creeps:
- REVIEWERS : Somebody with a qualified opinion** to consume and evaluate various forms of dark-themed media – movies, music, books, TV, etc.
- CORRESPONDENTS: Somebody to go to events and report back on what happened.
- PHOTOGRAPHERS: Somebody to go to events and provide photos of them.
- VISIONARIES: People who can intelligently discuss the future of the horror genre based on its current and foreseeable state.
To be clear, this is all volunteer-based. Nobody’s gettin’ paid around here (that includes the site owner/operator) – these sites are labors of love. HOWEVER, you WILL get:
- Credit for your work in a byline and soon-to-be-created staff page
- Dibs on choice shwag from companies like Lionsgate, Sony Entertainment, Anchor Bay, etc. – Did you SEE the cool stuff we got for Zombieland??
- First choice for premieres and advanced screenings of horror movies in Chicago
- Other considerations as things evolve
Interested? Contact Chad Savage at darkchicago@gmail.com to discuss it further. If you have samples of the kind of stuff you want to do, so much the better, but it’s not a requirement. Please help spread the word by posting this message or a link to it via Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc.
*Dark Chicago owns ChicagoWerewolf.com too; just need a reason to build it!
**Qualified opinion: You have to have a substantive background in horror so that you know what you’re talking about. If you think New Moon, Avatar or Friday the 13th 2009 were great movies, thank you and good day.
