Post-Halloween Horrorscope
"A time of expanding your mental horizons is at hand. Being in touch with faraway people and places satisfies an intellectual yearning – curiosity will take you anywhere and maybe everywhere. This is a good time to spread your wings – perhaps travel, vacation, or get involved in something new. This is a wonderful time [...]

Why every day should be Halloween
1. Because it would be a convenient explanation for photos like this other than, 'i figured packing tape would be perfect for blotting lipstick' 2. Then there would be Zombiefest at least monthly, or an event like it. Back in the day, once in a while, Ster would have a show at the bar [...]

Not a review of Wrong Turn 4 – Bloody Beginnings
Movies that scare me have a common thread – the entirely unpredictable coupled with isolation. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Haute Tension, The Descent; it is not the gore or shock that gets me. It is the day after, the week after, the month after. When I find myself driving down a country road and glance at [...]

wanna win something to read? Coffin Hop for Halloweek
I decided to give away something unique. It is for the lover of gore and whimsy. It is for people that believe in ghosts. Also, for those who like to have advance readers copies of things.

Kid Kwotes – October 2007
We were setting off fireworks in the countryside one warm fall afternoon. The reason we were unloading explosives is forgotten in lieu of this: Crim: Put one in the pumpkin! Adult 1: But Crim, it might explode Crim: No, no, it won't! Just put it in! Just put it in! Adult 2: But that's your [...]

In response to the anti-occupy blonde
It would appear the young blonde girl believes that those filling the streets of financial districts world-wide are to blame for thier own misfortune, are bitter, or are angry. I fully support #Occupy and would be impressed if even one mind were changed regarding how money is managed in this world. I know a lot [...]

Women, horror, violence… yeah? So what?
This may come as a shock, but I cringe every time I hear people applauding women in horror. I do, and apologize. I am not a feminist even though at a distance I could be mistaken for some kind of lesbian riot grrl. That movement, to me, was for my grandmother's crew. I know we [...]

Remy Couture – Not just a flesh wound
Originally posted at Ottawa Horror. Go there for the interview. This is the preamble and additional opinion from me after the image. Have you ever watched a horror movie? Have you ever made a horror movie? Have you ever read, written, heard, watched, shared or sold anything horrific? If you are here there is a [...]

Real online thievery, and supporting creators
Waking up to emails and group lists is part of my every-day. I have a pretty zen approach to anything that comes in, from ranty drivel to action-items, and I usually don't even respond right away. My favorite group list is the TFEW message board digest, even though it is rare that there is conversation [...]

So busy, the bees are jealous
With the exception of today, I am swamped. This is by design. I mean, there is work I could be doing right now. Loads of it. There is also coffee I could be doing… and sitting here… looking at this desk I need to wipe down and clean up. Now that I have some interior [...]
