Anyone Else Playing?

I just happened to randomly come across this (I guess YouTube knows I'm into horror trivia) last week, a YT horror trivia game show called Better Luck Than Chuck.

It has surprisingly high production values and I guess the creators have enough reach to even have some genre names guest read questions on video (ala Jeopardy). It even has a final round that is right out something from 90s Nickelodeon.

Was I screaming at my screen that the knuckleheads competing for legitimately great prizes were biffing on the most basic questions? Of course I was. And sure, I'm not under pressure sitting on my couch, but I've also been to enough trivia nights to know that I'm not going to magically forget Michael Myers was incarcerated for 15 years. Having been writing questions for my own events for four years now, I do have to say they got the difficulty level just right. I may have batted somewhere around .900+, but I imagine a good many viewers found them challenging - the contestants sure seemed to...

Anyway, for a thing that just seemed to come out of nowhere, I welcome future episodes. I think they come out every Thursday. Maybe one of the them will actually challenge me.

What Is Time Even?

I apologize for my lack of post of late. The summer just got away from me. I did some travelling (Iceland & the usual Montreal trip) and have this year found myself in a revolving door of screener duties for different fests that also eats up a lot of time. Add in the regular trivia nights and Rue Morgue duties and I'm a pretty busy dude.

That said, it is October, so I'm going to make an effort to step things up here. Saying it is the first step towards doing it. I have a few ideas, and the ever-growing stack of tapes...

Check back soon!

My Bloody VHS

I was finally able to get my hands back on a tape of My Bloody Valentine, after foolishly giving it away to a friend some fifteen years ago. I took a trip to Cultland this weekend, as Coop had graciously tracked one down for me after my repeated requests. I also picked up these beauties...

Back by popular demand, are some shitty Android Paint drawings. Can you figure out these 10 horror movies from these colourful scribbles?

R.I.P. Sam Neill 1947-2026

I was saddened to hear about the passing of actor Sam Neill earlier today. He was 78. 

R.I.P. Sam Neill 1947-2026

Though probably best for his role as Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park movies, to me he was a genre man through and through. During his five decade career, he did many horror films, most notably Possession, In The Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon and he could always be counted on add gravitas to any picture. Rest in Peace, Sam!

Till Death

Hey all, I'm just dropping into tell you about my buddy Schwartz's Kickstarter for his new comic, Till Death. It launched a few days ago so do me a solid and look it over.

Described as a cross between The Frighteners & Harold & Maude, Till Death is written by Michael Schwartz and his wife Rachael Schaefer with art by Gaia Cardinali, Tuta Lotay and Matthew Therrien, among others. The campaign page is here.
