31 Days of Halloween – Day 6: Trolljegeren

  We head to the icy fjords of Norway for today’s entry. Trolljegeren, or Trollhunter, is a found footage deal that incorporates fairy tales like “Three Billy Goats Gruff” and “Askeladden” but places them in a wry, dark, modern setting. I didn’t even tell Nahid what we were watching and so she had fun guessing where it … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 6: Trolljegeren

31 Days of Halloween – Day 5: Shaun of the Dead

Today’s movie is the groundbreaking first of the Cornetto trilogy. This is film that brought zoms and coms back together (also adding a fair bit of rom as well). Along with Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, 28 Days Later, and the Walking Dead comic, it was largely responsible for the zombie boom engulfed us in … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 5: Shaun of the Dead

31 Days of Halloween – Day 4: In the Mouth of Madness

  Our first full length Horror movie. This one is pure psychological horror, with mind trip after mind trip in store. A lot of people consider this the last great Carpenter film, which is hard to disagree with, and also the most Lovecraftian of movies ever made, which I also agree with. What did you … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 4: In the Mouth of Madness

31 Days of Halloween – Day 3: Army of Darkness

For Day three, we watched our first proper movie: Army of Darkness. (Not strictly a Halloween movie in the pure sense of the word, but there are zombies and skeletons it counts). Nahid learned of Ash Williams on a list of 10 heroes who made things worse and she was curious to see what his … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 3: Army of Darkness

31 Days of Halloween – Day 2: The Addam’s Family

“What’s this? Tears on our very own holiday? We’re still easing into October so I broke out a special Halloween episode of Addam’s Family. This is the one where Wednesday is told there are no witches so she starts to doubt Halloween. To reassure her, the family holds a seance to contact their Aunt Singe, who … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 2: The Addam’s Family

31 Days of Halloween – Day 1

Day 1: Halloween is Grinch Night. We started with something silly. This came out the year I was born (It won an emmy!) and is considered a prequel to the more well-known Grinch Who Stole Christmas. It’s pretty trippy by modern standards. What did you think? Nahid: It was fun. It wasn’t scary, but it … Continue reading 31 Days of Halloween – Day 1

31 Days of Halloween

It’s no secret that October is my favorite month. Even here in Korea, where pumpkins are dark green, people call… Read more 31 Days of Halloween

Happy Birthday, Edgar Rice Burroughs Adventures!

In February, I was on the subway going to meet my girlfriend at Seoul Forest Park when I got a message from my buddy Wind. Want to use our Trancers engine to make an Edgar Rice Burroughs themed game?  He … Continue reading →

On the Evolution of an Ebook

My last post here I talked about my upcoming collection of short stories. The book is still coming out (next month, I hope!) Much has changed since then, however, including the title, the cover, and many of the stories in … Continue reading →

And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what’s going on?

So since I finished Cthulhu Kaiju I’ve been working on half-a-dozen projects. It’s been nice to work on a bunch of different things, although it’s more difficult to get anything done. I’ve done some slush reading for a major magazine, … Continue reading →
