Can’t get enough of me rambling about old monster movies? I have good news for you! Not only have I written a few books on the subject, but there’s more on the way!
For starters, I’m in talks to get Monsters from the Vault and Return of Monsters from the Vault back into print. Fans will remember those as collections from Innsmouth Free Press, gathering together my old Vault of Secrets column on classic (and not so classic) horror films. Expect more news on those later this year or early next.
They’re not all, though. I’m also working on some nonfiction books dealing with aspects of horror film, and I hope to finish up the first of those this year. Of course, it not being done yet, it also doesn’t have a home yet, and publishing is a slow business, so who knows when you’ll actually hear more about that.
However, you don’t have to be bereft in the meantime. There are plenty of opportunities to read my writing on vintage horror cinema. For the last few months, I’ve been writing a column about gimmick films over at Signal Horizon. That column will be wrapping up soon, but you should be able to find plenty of material on William Castle’s gimmick films, Sensurround, Blubberscope, the Green Blood Oath, HypnoVista, Smell-O-Vision, and much more.
The best place to keep up with my writing about old timey horror cinema, however, is at my Patreon. For just a few bucks a month, you get access to everything I’ve written to date, and once I build that up to where I’m earning enough, I’ll start posting two pieces a month.
In the meantime, you can read about horror movies from the dawn of cinema to the Sixties, covering everything from Mark of the Vampire to The Man Who Laughs, The Undying Monster to I Walked with a Zombie, Seven Footprints to Satan to The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.
I’ve even got some free posts, available for those who aren’t sure if they want to take the plunge. Why not get started reading about Witchcraft (1964)?
Want to be the one who does the rambling? I’m also the movies editor for Exploits, an Unwinnable publication. And, as such, I’m always on the lookout for essays about movies both old and new. If you’ve got 350 words in you about anything from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to Chris Nolan’s Odyssey, hit me up and maybe we can work together!
