What is Westcoast Strange?
I’ve always loved horror and science fiction, whether it’s writing scripts or watching movies, the genres have always had a special place in my heart.
I created this website to talk about the movies that excite and inspire me, in the hopes that whoever is reading may also find something weird to watch among the endless sea of content.
Additionally, if updates on my own personal writing career arise this will be the forum I’ll be using to keep anyone interested and wanting to follow my career journey.
