Canuckleheads!

Canadian horror author Jim Burrell has been making good use the last few months of quarantine to fashion these handmade bobbleheads.

Pretty fucking sweet if you ask me!

Horror Stubs: July

My old movie ticket stubs have been getting some fun reactions over at Instagram, but I figured I'd do a monthly wrap up post here with all the horror ones.

R.I.P. John Saxon 1936-2020

I was really saddened to hear about the passing of John Saxon yesterday. He was 83. This one really stings. He was a legend with a show business career that spanned seven decades and almost two-hundred credits.

R.I.P. John Saxon 1936-2020

Arguably best known for this roles in A Nightmare of Elm Street and Black Christmas, he was a ubiquitous figure in the horror genre that goes all the way back to Mario Bava's 1963 film The Girl Who Knew Too Much. To me as a child, he was that guy who always popped up in popular TV shows like Wonder Woman, The A-Team and Fantasy Island. Saxon was the guy who basically introduced me to the concept of a character actor. I'm glad I was able to see him in person during the 2014 Festival of Fear as part of the Black Christmas 40th anniversary reunion.

Rest in peace, Mr. Saxon. You will be missed.   

Short of the Week: Make Me A Sandwich

Here's a great little short from last year from director Denman Hatch that I programmed at both Saskatoon and Hexploitation. Bon appetit!

Désolée

I should be a fucking plane right now. Instead, I am languishing in a humidified office.

Fuck you, Covid. Way to break my streak of twelve years.

Fulci For Fake

Simone Scafidi's half biopic/half documentary on the life of legendary director Lucio Fulci looks pretty dope.

I'm down!

A Puzzle With Sharp Edges.

Here's the latest endeavour, all finished.

This one was only 500 pieces so it didn't take as long as the last ones. Not sure where I am going from here, but each puzzle completed gets me closer to my white, or rather pink, whale.
