Continue reading →: House of Wax (2005)
I really shouldn’t like this movie at all. It’s a not-very-well-regarded entry into a genre that I don’t care for (the mash-up of teen slasher and that backwoods grindhouse Texas Chainsaw Massacre stuff that Rob Zombie is inextricably associated with). And yet, and yet… I love it. The first time…

Continue reading →: Nights in the Lonesome October
The latest issue of the Lovecraft eZine is a tribute to Roger Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October, and it features my story “The Blackbird Whistling, or Just After.” Roger Zelazny isn’t quite the fabled “writer who made me want to become a writer,” but discovering his work marked maybe…

Continue reading →: Hitch
Up until about a week ago, I’d never seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I know that this is something that’s difficult to believe, but I assure you that it’s true. It certainly wasn’t on purpose. I hadn’t gone out of my way to avoid them, and, in fact, for the last…

Continue reading →: Longview Lit Festival
This Saturday, I’ll be at the Longview Literary Festival in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. I attended last year, and had a surprisingly good time, though I did end up giving a reading to an empty room. I’m scheduled for another reading this year (at 12:30), so hopefully that won’t happen again. I’m…

Continue reading →: The Hole (2009)
So, instead of the presidential debate, I watched The Hole last night. (I think I got the better deal.) For those who haven’t heard about it (possibly from me) already, The Hole is a bunch of bad title-related jokes waiting to happen the first feature-length film from Joe Dante since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back…

Continue reading →: Countdown to Halloween
Today is the first day of the best 31 days of the whole, entire year. And if I’m not quite ready for it, that doesn’t mean that I’m any less excited to see it arrive. My October plans are currently in a state of some flux. I had originally intended…

Continue reading →: Book Days
There’s been a lot of stuff happening that relates in some way to books that I’ve been meaning to mention but, frankly, just haven’t had the time. Still don’t, really, but I’m going to try to wedge as much of it as I can conveniently remember in here. Bear with…

Continue reading →: Hausu & Others
When asked what the scariest movie I’ve ever seen is, I usually say Audition. When asked about the weirdest, I usually say Hausu. I first saw Hausu last year when I was looking for out-of-the-way stuff for the international horror film column that I was then writing for Innsmouth Free Press. I wasn’t…

Continue reading →: Happy Birthday HPL!
Today I’m celebrating the birthday of H.P. Lovecraft by watching The Call of Cthulhu and reading “The Picture in the House,” along with whatever else comes to hand. I might also watch some of Bride of Re-Animator or play a bit of Night of the Cephalopods! If you’re looking for something to commemorate…

Continue reading →: Nice Work, Readercon
I haven’t had a lot of time to post lately, but I wrote something up when this went badly, so I figure it’s only fair to write a little something when it gets better. Yesterday the Readercon convention committee released a statement that is, for my money, a pretty good…
