Horror reference books are my fave to read; opinions/thoughts on new and old genre flicks is my jam. In that spirit I wrote A CUT BELOW and amazing legends like Gale Anne Hurd, Joe Dante, and Clay McLeod Chapman say it's nice and good. #Booksky

Part of the joy of movies—a big part for me—are the posters. The windows into the film. Drew Struzan’s posters in every genre are a celebration of cinema. His work wasn’t marketing it was an expression and extension of the film. Legendary.

We’re checking out Murder, She Wrote starting with the pilot. It’s Murder On The Love Boat But In Maine Instead And No Boat Obviously

I originally saw this as a kid as Island of the Damned; it cuts out the prologue and with it the political subtext. Great flick!

The writing fairy told me if I put my laptop under my pillow while I sleep, the last bit of my novel will be written. (Worth a shot.)
