MR. SHREEK From Gortem Shreek's Horror Host Underground website profile:It's always midnight-at "Black Sky Cinema". Gortem Shreek resides in his family's home of 6 generations. The Shreeks were outcasts, and people feared them for their gothic look and strange practices. Gortem was raised by his grandfather, a black magician, who taught him to summon flame. He lives alone, seeing no one. He studies horror and film to fill his days, and watches classic horror to fill the nights. Black Sky Cinema is the only contact he has with the world. He lives by his own laws, and they are not man's laws. His vast family fortune is a deep secret, and Gortem Shreek trusts nobody. Cross him, and you'll burn!!. He does have a sense of humor, though it's a "sick sense."
