Halloween Monday Movie Marathon (And Beer)

Two things have converged to create what will be my finest blog moment: 1.I have Monday off from work. 2. I just got back from Rock and Shock.' After the convention yesterday, I was struck hard by the desire to really get some Halloween celebrating in. I knew that I had to do something and … Continue reading Halloween Monday Movie Marathon (And Beer) →

Rock and Shock 2013

I have to say that up until today, my Halloween spirit was lacking. I haven't been watching scary movies. I haven't been eating more than my usual share of fun sized Snickers bars. I haven't been reveling in my usual Halloween activities. October has just been steadily and speedily been moving along and the whole … Continue reading Rock and Shock 2013 →

Rock and Shock: Post Show Quickie

This was a great show this year. I laughed, I cried and I met Leatherface. It was better than last year and last was already great. Vendors were friendly. Celebrities engaging. Everything made me glad to be a fan of horror. Lengthier update later. -D-

Rock and Shock 2013: The Day Before

This will be the second year in a row that I'm going to Rock and Shock (which is happening right now!). Last year was great; I met some people, I bought some things, and I saw a lot that celebrated horror movies, books and scary things in general. It was nice to be surrounded by … Continue reading Rock and Shock 2013: The Day Before →

Halloween Horror Movies

We all have our ways of celebrating Halloween. If you're still in elementary school, you put on a costume and beg strangers for candy. If you're in college, you use Halloween as an excuse to get blitzed. If you're my age, you sit at home and quietly contemplate opening an Ameritrade account before deciding that … Continue reading Halloween Horror Movies →

Halloween Anti-Climax

With Halloween rapidly approaching and with my promise to not celebrate Halloween rapidly faltering, I am stating now, unequivocally, that I am not doing any crazy, wacky Halloween stuff for my blog. No posting every day. No Thirty-One Days of horror. No five hundred horror movie reviews. I refuse to burn myself out on this. … Continue reading Halloween Anti-Climax →

Keeping Calm

In the past, I think it would be fair to say that I would overindulge in the Halloween spirit. I would be dragging the giant spider out of the closet in September, chugging pumpkin spice beers in August and handing out candy to strange children in the middle of July. But, as a result, I … Continue reading Keeping Calm →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween

I'm drinking a beer called Vampire Slayer (brewed by Clown Shoes). This isn't a review, I'm just letting you know that I have a dark, flavor rich beer and you should get some yourself. No, really I'm just here to say, Happy Halloween. We've spent a lot of time together, you and I and it's … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: Happy Halloween →

31 Days of Spoooktacular: In the Path of the Storm

Storms do not scare me. They haven't scared me in some twenty years. The thunder is so much noise and the lightning is avoidable. Hail is a problem, but only rarely and only when you're outside. And, in the end, there's not a lot you can do about it except button down and stay low. … Continue reading 31 Days of Spoooktacular: In the Path of the Storm →
