My review for the new prequel for John Carpenter's The Thing is up on Brutal as Hell. Mosey on over and take a look!

Brains? I'll just stick to the Cadbury Cream Eggs, thanks...

Easter is almost over, but if you're not quite ready to say goodbye to the Holy Ghost and all of his buddies, then you need to pop on over to Brutal as Hell, where we're got a series of posts celebrating Zombie Jesus Day! Wind down with a collection of reviews, looking a the finest of zombie films, and maybe even a couple of flicks featuring Jesus Christ himself! The Passion?, you ask. NO! We're talking Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, reviewed by yours truly.

Plus, original Easter art!

Click the pic to go to Brutal as Hell, and celebrate the resurrection of your lord and savior in style. If you can do it while eating the flesh of your choosing... bonus!

Got a review up on BrutalasHell.com, covering the upcoming horror flick, The Vanishing on 7th Street. You can either wait for theatrical release or, as these smaller movies have been doing lately, you can already find it on Amazon.com's VOD channels.

Follow the link to Brutal As Hell, and enjoy!

(these nearly identical links are for the VOD downloadable film, and for the Soundtrack, respectively. Choose, but choose wisely)

Blogging-wise, October was a bust. But it was excellent for my working and my savings, so I can't complain too much.
I spent September and October working for the Democratic Party of Nevada, fighting to keep several key incumbents with significant achievement lists in office, despite the ever-growing sentiment of 'Throw the bums out'. (Look out, Republicans. You'll be the bums in 2 years.) Anyway, mission accomplished, 5 of my 6 Assembly persons stayed in office, along with Harry Reid. Despite a significant swing in the Republican direction, I hope that we maintained enough seats to have a balanced government, and to keep intellectual discourse alive in the state's government.

So, I spent the month of October working 7-days a week, all the way to election day. And now, nothing. That said, its time to get back to some writing.

To kick it off, here's two articles I managed to get finished up during the election season that I forgot to promote here. Go back, read, enjoy.

Shit, I really need to go back and finish that last blog entry. The problem with writing while you're on a road-trip is that you inevitably get caught up in the excitement of the vacation itself, and the writing falters...

In the meantime, here's the final entry in the Brutal As Hell series, The Lucky 13. Our 13th and final category is Slashers, and we bring you some of the best, and most obscure, slashers of all time. Its been a good, gory summer on that site. Lets go out with a bang!

The Lucky 13 Begins! Brutal As Hell has teamed up with The Vault of Horror to take over the blogosphere for the next couple months.
They're creating a web-ring of authors, compiling lists of the greatest horror films of 13 distinct genres, each one set to shock a different part of your brain.
This first entry is exploitation films. You can find tidbits from myself, and from good friend Ben Bussey. This first entry is one I've reviewed a couple times before, so no shocker there... but we've got some good and obscure stuff, ready for you to track down, coming this month and next.

Go, enjoy, be horrified.
