Back momentarily with some good news! Before I scurry off into the darkness while I try to get some projects under control, I need to alert you to the most excellent weekend you could have this Friday through Sunday – it’s time once more for the Dark Carnival Film Festival at the historic Buskirk Chumley [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Aftermath

Sept-Web-Site-Image

I was on time for once, but it was still Sunday Bloody Sunday as far as I was concerned. I arrived at the hotel hoping to wrap up loose ends and finally put a definition to the weekend and summarize the point. There weren’t as many people around today – and due to the massive [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and The Ecstasy, Part 3

Sept-Web-Site-Image

There’s a thread that has run through my life that’s almost Dickensian in its humor. It really was the best of times and worst of times, and usually within minutes of each other – for every epoch there’s a serious dirge mere moments away. I don’t believe in astrology – as Mr. Mojo Rising once [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and the Ecstasy Part 2

I never adjusted to the time change. A creature of habit and natural symptom of the night, I despise mornings. It should have been no surprise I’d oversleep, much as I have every day for the last seven years. I write this in fact, coming from a fever induced slumber. If it picks back up, [...]

HorrorHound Weekend Recap: The Agony and The Ecstasy, Part 1

24 hours ago I returned from HorrorHound Weekend Indianapolis. I attended the event to bear witness on behalf of Globsters everywhere, to speak to the icons of Horror that we’ve watched indefinitely, to bear goodwill when available, and to get to the heart of the beast. I had entertained the notion of conventions for years, [...]

Clocked Out and On the Loose: Klagger Comes Home with DVD Release

If you were unable to catch the mighty Klagger at one of the many film festival stops it made, or couldn’t get someone to loan you a smart phone to check it out on the awesome popcorn horror app (man did I ever get lucky with that one), fear not! Fans of Texas Horror, Ghouls, [...]

Atra Aeterna: Cinematic Music a Stirring Soundtrack for Life

For many, myself included, the most powerful component of film, the core that provides atmospheric context, is the soundtrack. Without proper sonic provisions, the most moving, emotional scene can lack the tone and direction it needs to propel the moving images from static backdrop to occupying the spaces in our minds alongside dreams and memories. [...]

Analog Hellions: V/H/S Records the Terror

VHS Poster

The abomination of criticism that is Cinemaglob and my maniacal obsession to see films no one else has is borne from a lifetime spent with a dense lineup of highly diverse movies on almost constant rotation. It begins at the end of the VHS era. Once upon a time, my family had a four channel [...]

You Left A Hole In The Back Of My Head – The Second Self And Other Short Stories…

second self

Consider me splatterhoused. Ok, now what the hell’s that supposed to mean? I’m sure the vast majority of horror fans and pop-culture obsessives are familiar with the video game; Splatterhouse was a blood-soaked homage to monster flicks in 16 Bit form, where you play as a Jason-masked hulk obliterating everything in his path – at [...]

Trailers from Hell Triumphant! Kickstarter Goal Reached with Two Days to Spare!

While Trailers from Hell have achieved their funding goal for their Kickstarter campaign, there are still two days left. It’s truly excellent that film fans everywhere came together to support such an awesome site, and now they’re looking at a chance to create a surplus to the budget – breathing room is never a bad [...]
