So…

I started a SFV taste-testing project.

Plus, a separate SFV fitness accountability project.

Quite a bit different from my horror genre endeavors. I’m weird like that.

Both projects have a central Linktree page with links to all the platforms where you can find them linktr.ee/rcproductions

Fun announcement!

I was lucky enough to get to contribute essays to these two gorgeous Hammer releases for THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN and SCARS OF DRACULA for StudioCanal— Hammer has been a love/obsession of mine for quite sometime and this is an absolute dream come true!

StudioCanal 4K release of THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN featuring red and green artwork of the monster as it looms amidst the brush.

StudioCanal 4K release of SCARS OF DRACULA featuring red-hued artwork of Dracula descending on his unsuspecting prey.

A great essay on my use of failure and self-improvement as themes in both my books and movies.

Thanks for the amazing, thoughtful write up, T.J.

...a paranormal investigative series in the tradition of KOLCHAK, GHOSTBUSTERS, and every buddy cop series known to man. It only lasted 14 episodes with 4 unaired but has gained some new attention in recent years. One thing’s for sure: it’s opening credits is PURE 80s.

Finished the audiobook of THE TOWN by Bentley Little and that may be the most bonkers story of his – and that’s saying a lot because I’ve read a lot of his bonker stories. If you dig madness, then this is in your wheelhouse. But beware: this one is worthy of a LONG list of trigger warnings. Whew!

I recommend the entirety of the late '80s/early '90s horror anthology series MONSTERS, but if you just had to watch one episode for Halloween, I'd go with "The Match Game". 🔥

My words about this episode.

‘The Match Game’ – Add This Creepy ‘Monsters’ Episode to Your Halloween Watchlist

The doors on Tales from the Darkside had barely closed before producer Richard P. Rubinstein debuted a new horror anthology series in 1988. And for three seasons, Monsters ditched the nebulous act of ...

Dedication post to PBS alumni storytellers John Robbins, Paul Lally, and Rae Owings. It was their shows on the tube television mounted on the rolling AV cart in the grade school library that sparked my love for stories in all mediums.

Definitely kiddie fare in execution but the perfect gateway for future horror book nerds like myself. And those Stephen Gammell illustrations are legendary!

Of course, I’m demented to think taking a header out of a high-rise window in dramatic fashion is funny, but this is one you’ll have to try on for yourself. I mean, read the story, not take a header out the window.

It’s called “The Man Who Feared Masks.”

I read Joseph Payne Brennan’s collection of horror stories SCREAM AT MIDNIGHT (1963) and realized he often employed ironic twist (or would that be twisted?) endings to his stories. One of those stories had what I considered a comical ending...

Rationale: Why waste time on things I don’t like when I can spend that same time sharing the joy I found so others might do the same? You’ll know when I don’t like a movie or book or other because I never talk about it. No comment thank you very much. But let me tell you about something I love…

Q: Why do you mostly post about things you like?

A: I’m not a reviewer. I’m a recommender.
