Continue reading →: Certified!
As a result of a conversation on Facebook some three months or so ago, several of my friends recently presented me with my very own, framed, official certificate of monster expertise. So now it’s official! Here’s a look at the certificate: Thanks to Bear Weiter, Steve Scearce, Jeremy Tolbert, Marlyse…

Continue reading →: In Memory of Richard Matheson
For a week now, I’ve been trying to think of something to say about the passing of Richard Matheson, and all the words I’ve been able to muster have felt insufficient. Just a few weeks ago, we lost Ray Harryhausen, and the world became a slightly less wondrous place for…

Continue reading →: World Horror Recovery
Back from the World Horror Convention and a five-night stay in New Orleans. It was an experience (as is, I am told, getting fried chicken from a gas station, though we didn’t do that, so I can’t speak to it personally). It was a good trip, though also often a…

Continue reading →: World Horror Bound
In about 48 hours, I’ll be in New Orleans for World Horror. This is the first convention I’ve gone to since Readercon in 2009 in which I was not doing anything specific. No readings, no panels, no nothing. I’m just there as a tourist. I may be attending the Bram…

Honestly, if I have to sell you on a movie called The Boogens, you and I are already two very different people… Before I get started, though, some backstory. When I was younger, I got most of my movies from the local grocery store. They had a little video section…

Continue reading →: Tables of Contents, and the Contents Thereof
May has been a crazy month, and as I sit here on the last day of it, I realize that in all the craziness I let a couple of tables of contents announcements featuring stories of mine go by without comment here (though I talked about them enough on social…

When Frankensteinia announced their Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon, I knew that I would have to do something to participate, even though I also knew that May was going to be the busiest month I’ve had in, I dunno, maybe ever. But what could I do with my limited time and…

Continue reading →: Peter Cushing Blogathon Day One
As you’ve probably already seen if you follow me on any kind of social media, they’re hosting a Peter Cushing Centennial Blogathon over at the great Frankenstein ‘blog Frankensteinia. A few years ago I participated in their Boris Karloff Blogathon and head a really good time. Those entries, unfortunately, are…

And I’m back from the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and my trip to Portland. It was, in short, breathtaking, at least once literally, as I am apparently very, very allergic to something that was up near Pittock Mansion. I took a few pictures, which I’ll probably post, at least to…

Continue reading →: My HPLFF Schedule
This time next week, I’ll be winding down my first H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival! Where I will be seeing, among other things, the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed, which I am saying less to make you all jealous and more to make it real for myself because I am that excited. Seriously, I…
