It's undoubtedly a sign of imminent senility, but each Fest it's more likely that, when perusing the absolutely essential roster of What We Watched assembled by Chad R., that I see a title or two and think, "What the hell is that?" This year it was The Dead Don't Talk, and it took several…
We followed the surprisingly opulent Demon of Mount Eo with a cheapie independent made by some small town locals somewhere. (New Jersey, in this case.) I'm sure I don't have to introduce 1983's The Deadly Spawn to anyone here. The film is a perfect example of how when people who love monster movies make…
OK, so I flew into Dallas -- no flight delays, yay! -- and got picked up at DFW by Chad R. He took me to LJS for dinner (postponed from my previous trip when my flight was delayed 11 hours) and then we headed to Chez Petersen. As noted before, Sandy and Wendy have…
Or at least it's playing at 4:00 PM all week at my local AMC theater. I already have my ticket for Friday. Even better, as it's playing under their "fan faves" banner, the ticket was half the price of a regular ticket. Sweet. Anyway, here's your chance to see the film again--or for the…
Hey, everyone! Sorry for the late notice. I got back home late (for me, anyway) Tuesday. My trip to Dallas marked two trips nearly back to back, and of course I am way behind at work due to my twin absences. Frankly, I'm beat. Oh, and I have a out of left field social…
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It must be weird to design a monster that's meant to appear in one episode of a 50 chapter show that is part of a long, long skein of shows.
This will be a short week (as will next week) as I leave for Texas on Thursday. I'll see some of you there. This will be last Fest in Dallas--unless we find another home for it--so expect further Fests to be in Utah.
Sandy and Wendy will be selling their Dallas home this summer, which makes sense given that they have moved to Utah to be closer to family. It was only a matter of time, really. In any case, it's short notice, but for anyone who thinks Utah will not work for them, you might want…
