Welcome:
Hi there fellas! If you like Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., Snake Plissken or just some retro ass-kicking you've come to the right place. I offer you lots of interesting stuff and I think I've covered most areas. I have worked very hard and long with it. I think I started around 1997. Since then lots of things have happened and I've had many obstacles, but I had a dream that someday all my hard work would be shared with people. I hope you like the result.

Why?
When I saw Escape From New York for the first time lots of doors opened for me. I had a new favorite film director (John Carpenter), a new hero (Snake Plissken), a new favorite film, a newly found music taste (electronic music), another sensibility etc. Somehow I found a bit of myself. Snake became more then just a cool action character for me. He taught me of the harsh realities out there. I also think he personifies and expresses an universally distrust and anger most of us hide. He's also a very personal character who means different to each person, so everybody can relate to him, one way or another. This is why I think he's unique and poetic. He gives us strength and values in life.

About the Site:
This site entered the net in 2002 and was first a site dedicated to only Escape From New York and Snake Plissken. But after a webhost upgrade not so long ago I was also able to work and include Escape From L.A.

This site was optimized for two screen sizes: 800x600 and 1024x768 (believe it or not) but I had a hard time keeping track of all the htm files and was tired of doing things twice. Now I have only one size (along with a new design) but it should work just fine with any size.

My old page

You are free to use everything on this site with some caution and common sense except for some pictures and stuff you have to ask the authors to use. I don't think there is a problem but being polite never hurts: Stefan Bommelin (Author of "Assault on Webpage 13"), Jesper Bjerg: Scanned by Shroud Shifter/CraYon '97 (Author of the closed site "A Tribute to John Carpenter"),  "The Official John Carpenter", Gayle Bykowicz (Author of Snake Plissken vs Solid Snake) and Kim Gottlieb-Walker (Still Photographer on EFNY/Author of www.Lenswoman.com).

I want to sincerely thank these people and also these fine folks and contributors:
Joe Thornton
Lars "Sweden" Olsson
Titania Le Fay
Kim August
Tone Rodriguez
Christopher Chouinard (aka: Fotog Ink)

And finally all the members over at snakeplissken.net

Epilogue:
I frequently update and add stuff but there's nothing better when people wants to contribute with something so feel free to send me stuff. Don't let your Escape/Snake stuff be left in the dark! Just drop me an email. 

I would also be very grateful if you'd report if there's anything on this site you feel is wrong or doesn't work etc. Or if you haven't been credited for something you've done.
 
Have a good time and please come back again.
- Andreas.
