Hey gang!

Wow, haven't posted here in ages. I'm all about FB now :D Just letting my Canadian peeps I'll be in Vancouver this Halloween, from Oct 26-Nov 9. If any of you want to meet up, leave a comment!

Hope all my NY based peeps and your peeps are safe and well. :hugs:

 TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART 2: Disappointing end to the series. Not terrible (Like the first film) but not great like parts 2 & 3. Promising beginning- with a genuinely kickass sequence of the newly vampirized Bella adjusting to having all her senses cranked up to 11 and a set-piece that is no lie a classic in vampire cinema (Bellacula running ( Read more... )

How's Tricks, Treats?!

Have I ever got a Halloween treat for you, folks! Friend Bartok managed to somehow track down "The Fogbrook Thing" the absolutely *terrifying* Halloween episode of (Kid's show!) Kaboodle from 1989/90 that gave me many sleepless nights as a

youngin'. Please watch both parts in full- it's only 20 minutes total and it ads to the ( Read more... )

:Puts on Tony Stark Helmet: "Ahh, it's good to be back!"

Hello folks! Gavin here, back on the air and back home after an unexpected hospital stay. Sunday night's abdominal pains turned out to be suspected Appendicitis, which turned out to actually have been Diverticulitis (don't Google on a full stomach, it's f@cking gross) which meant I spent ( Read more... )

Note: I DID NOT WRITE THIS. I AM NOT THE AUTHOR. I CAN ONLY WISH I WROTE THIS GOOD. This is a story a friend of mine- a vet of the Vietnam War- wrote about 10 years ago in a creative writing class. Just found my copy of our old Uni-published writing anthology, and thought I'd share this amazing, haunting story, which he based directly on something ( Read more... )

RIP Zero J Puss (Feb 1993- April 2012). Thanks for 19 years of mischief, mayhem and the odd mauling...

Ciao, Campers!

I promised a few of you more info on the KABOODLE (Australian children's television program of the early Nineties) Halloween special of- around 1994, I guess? Only aired once, never again, and remains the scariest 15 minutes I've ever seen on television. God only knows how many kids the thing warped for life (that's good)...

The show ( Read more... )

Dang. I mentioned in December of last year that one of my favourite character actors, Leonardo Cimino, who played Concentration Camp survivor Grandpa Bernstein on the original 1984 min-series of V and Scary German Guy in the awesome 1987 cult film THE MONSTER SQUAD, was still alive and acting.  Well, he's not anymore. Leonardo Cimino died today, ( Read more... )

Bonjour, Birthers!

Just watch the French horror film L'INTERIEUR (aka INSIDE) in which a deranged woman goes on a Terminatrix-esque rampage to get her hands on the (as yet unborn) baby of a woman who is literally due to give birth at any moment before the assault begins. Decent suspense and gore, but I was annoyed at the film for treating me like a ( Read more... )
