Blog postWe all need to hear this…
K.M. Allan
While the key to being an excellent writer is practice, practice, practice, getting that practice can be tough.
It requires a regular writing habit, which can be hard to forge and easy to drop when life gets in the way.
Even if you can consistently write, distractions and interruptions can waste precious writing time.
When that happens, getting back on track quickly will help—and that’s where training yourself to wri -
Blog postMichael A. Ventrella
Take any three famous people from history, toss them together, and have an adventure.
How they got together is up to you – you could do an origin story of how they first met or you could write the story as if they had been adventuring for years. You can use a time machine or a rip in space/time or quantum magic or whatever. You could have some sort of universal translator or you can have the language barrier be part of your plotline.
And these thre -

Title: Maritime Monsters
Author: Steve Vernon with illustrations by Jeff Solway
Release date: Originally released September 30th, 2009, re-released July 31st, 2019
First – I just want to say, this isn’t going to be one of my ‘traditional’ reviews – in that I won’t be sharing any criticism or my usual ‘what I didn’t like section.’ The reason being that this is a book about mythical creatures for k -

Blog postOkay, so for those folks out there who follow this blog – I heartily apologize.
I am a bad, bad, bad blogger. I mean, how long ago did I last blog? It’s been freaking ages.
So let’s just jump right into the blog!
Folks always ask me for my movie suggestions – so here’s one we watched earlier this week. It’s a movie called THE DESCENT, directed by the same director who made one of my favorite werewolf movies, Neil Marshall.Belinda and I originally watched this movie in -
Blog postA little garish, wot? For my ninth Halloween horror movie I followed up last night’s DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE (1968) with the direct sequel TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA (1970).This is Christopher Lee’s 4th Dracula movie – starting with DRACULA (1958), DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1966) and DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE (1968).
Lee played Count Dracula in a total of 10 movies – 7 Hammer movies, a Jesse Franco film (which I intend to watch later this month, a Jerry Lewis film -
Blog postFor my EIGHTH Halloween horror movie I decided to go old school and reach for my Hammer.
Yes sir, nobody made horror films like Hammer Films.
Even though I really love Bela Lugosi in the original 1931 movie Dracula – nobody took Dracula so far as Hammer and Christopher Lee did; and DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE is one of the best of them. From scenes like the initial church bell opening scene, or the cinematic priest climbing up the mountain with a cross tied to his back. G -

Blog postAll right so here’s my HALLOWEEN MOVIE COUNTDOWN #7 – SHE CREATUREBack in 2001 Stan Winston (the fellow behind the make-up and creatures in PUMPKINHEAD, THE MONSTER SQUAD, THE THING, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, LAKE PLACID, MOUSE HUNT and a whole lot of other movies – almost all of them I’ll be watching this October with the exception of MOUSE HUNT) decided to make a series of Creature Features based upon 1950’s AIP monster movies including SHE CREATURE.
Now the original SHE CREATURE (1956) -
Blog postFor our sixth October horror movie night I decided to try a movie I hadn’t ever seen. I enjoy the original Leprechaun series of movies with Warwick Davis but I thought I’d try out one of the reboots.So I sat down and watched LEPRECHAUN: ORIGINS.My wife and I watched the first half hour. It had a good jump start, but then things slowed down and then somebody took a left turn into a deep Irish bog and it all crawled to a halt.
I mean, it was bad.
It was a movie funded and create -

Blog postFor my fifth horror movie night we started out with a brand new SHUDDER release called SCARE ME. The film consists of two main characters – Aya Cash (Stormfront from The Boys) and Josh Ruben (who hasn’t been in ANYTHING that I have ever seen). The whole movie centers around these two caught in a power outage in an old cabin, telling each other scary stories.Basically, it’s horror improv.The only problem is, they truly suck at storytelling. If they were going to make a movie about scary storyt

Blog postTonight’s horror movie was another flick from my John Carpenter collection and is my wife’s favorite – PRINCE OF DARKNESS.
It is a moody, creepy, dark and sometimes confusing film – but some of the scenes are going to stick with you all night long and give you nightmares.
I love Donald Pleasance, and Victor Wong is always fun to watch. Jameson Parker (AJ Simon in TV’s Simon & Simon) turned in so stiff a performance that I’ll swear that the actor must have gargled with Sta- -
