My partnership with TVGuide's Remind Magazine, forged over the last two October issues, has been wonderful, and I am excited to announce I have a monthly column in the publication starting with the November 2022 issue. Roadside Memories offers readers a look back at...
After the smash sucess of the October 2021 all-HALLOWEEN series issue of TVGuide's Remind Magazine, the team behind the publication brought me back in for 2022 and I had one thing on my mind as the theme: The Munsters. The result is a lovely tribute to the...
I am honored to announce the team at TVGuide's ReMIND Magazine has brought me in as guest editor for this October's issue, which evolved into an all-HALLOWEEN-series celebration. For this I reached out to contributors from the heart of horror entertainment, the result...
I have been very fortunate to write only about films and people I like and admire. Under magazine editors like Chris Alexander at Fangoria, I have had total freedom to wander whatever my heart led me. When I first got into journalism, I created a dream list of people I would like to interview
Fantastm Media, the publisher behind official KISS, Ace Frehley, and George Romero magazines in the past, is unleasing their latest tribute publication with The Texas Chainsaw Legacy, now open for orders and shipping at Fantasm-Media.com. This ultimate celebration of...
The theme of the just-released trailer for HALLOWEEN 2018 is doing things right. The franchise has been through many twists and turns over the years, and is something of a choose-your-own-adventure in terms of starting and stopping points, including often ignoring...
When A-Pix was firing on all cylinders in the late 1990s releasing a steady stream of genre titles, I fell in love with them. UNCLE SAM, ICE CREAM MAN, THE SURGEON, and others were refreshing in a pretty blase pool of horror entertainment. They seemed willing to...
THE NEON DEMON is Los Angeles. That melancholy, sprawling monolith, itself a victim of mankind's Frankensteinian obsession with chasing perfection and growth by sewing mismatched parts onto a beast. Just like the Frankenstein monster cannot help its impulses after the...

My earliest exploration of monster cinema, before I had seen a single reel of film, came via the Crestwood House monster series of books. I was a frequent dreamer at the local library, toiling countless weekends away sitting atop the fire escape in the children's room...
I am landing in the pages of Delirium magazine, starting with issue #11, available for pre-order HERE, shipping June 11. First out of the gates is an extensive article on Greydon Clark's zany 1977 Satanic romp SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS, starring John Ireland and Yvonne...
Fangoria mainstay and fountain of productivity Lee Gambin has unleashed his latest tome, WE CAN BE WHO WE ARE: MOVIE MUSICALS FROM THE 1970S, available now from Bear Manor. The book, weighing in at three pounds and over 800 pages, is an expansive exploration of the...
I want to share two stories about Roddy Piper. The first story was at Days Of The Dead in Indianapolis in 2012. At that show he was positioned across the aisle from me and next to a well known make-up FX icon who shall go unnamed here. It was Sunday and the stream of...
In the wake of celebrity suicides, the topic always becomes hot, which is wonderful. This is something we should be discussing and these instances have proven the only time we have a general talk about the ins and outs of depression, self delivery, and all the...
