Omar “HorrO” Usman / Partner

"Born a horror fan from Elm Street, slashers have always been my favorite movies. My urge to write about horror became too much to ignore after watching “The Strangers.” In 2009, I began reviewing movies at my blog HorrO’s Gory Reviews, where I discovered there was a lot more to horror than just the movies. Creators of horror were looking for a place to share their work, so I filled that void with PromoteHorror.com in 2011. Since then, I’ve done hundreds of promotions supporting horror movies, books, websites, podcasts, festivals and a whole lot more. No matter what I do, I’m always looking for new and bigger ways to Spread the Horror!"
