Staff
MRFH is composed of a staff of 11 reviewers, with numerous others having left or "gone into retirement." (In 2007, to celebrate the site's 10th anniversary, a series of articles featured past and current Mutants sharing their favorite memories of writing for MRFH.) In the early days, anyone who asked was allowed to become a staff member. Today's standards are more stringent, with applicants required to submit sample reviews and be voted on by the site's leaders. Current staff members include:
- Justin, co-founder of MRFH, responsible for the upkeep of the site
- Kyle, California wild child and horror film buff
- Lissa, science nerd and avowed Harry Potter fangirl
- Sue, known for a love of horses and handling jokes about her age with good grace
- Drew, highly sarcastic (but not surly) comic book geek
- Al, fan of martial arts films and karaoke
- Mike, goateed artist and Joss Whedon expert
- Kaleb, longtime forum poster and anime devotee
- Eunice, movie news reporter, reviewer, and part-time Fraggle
- Heather, MST3K groupie and global transient
- Courtney, college student and requisite fiesty redhead
Longtime contributor PoolMan enjoys semi-retired mutant emeritus status, with freedom to submit reviews as he sees fit. Former Mutants include Kym, Toni, Andie, DnaError, Bobby, Alex, Clare, Rich, Nancy, and Shalen.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“Each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up theirs.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 7:12.
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
