Mount My Skull

Sometimes people ask writers where they get their ideas. And usually, there isn’t a good answer, because really, where do ideas come from? I’m not sure what they expect. I guess maybe they think horror writers have some kind of mental illness that causes them to hear voices. Come on people. That’s just crazy. Horror

It’s February?

Somewhere along the line, I totally missed the changing of the guards. I only realized it was February when I saw a tweet about Groundhog Day, which I let pass by without my yearly viewing of the movie of the same name. Forgive me Mr. Murray. I blame all of it on the snow days.

Mah Nà Mah Nà

I’m obsessed with Mah Nà Mah Nà. My first exposure to this song was through The Muppet Show when I was younger, but recently an episode of The Sarah Silverman Show had two of the characters singing the song after the uncanny resemblance of the phrase “Banana Cop” to “Mahna Mahna.” So of course I

Three Months.

I guess I went into a little hibernation for a while there. It happens. Maybe to me more often, but there it is. We’re deep into my second favorite season, and there’s even a little bit of the old white stuff on the ground outside. You know, I just about deleted this post and decided

A Meme for Meme

Our good friend Kara, from Random Thoughts of a Writery Girl, has gone and tagged me for a Meme. Well, I can’t disappoint now, can I. 1. If you could have any superpower, what would you have? Why? I think I’d rather enjoy being able to transform into a 1,000 pound Jack O’ Lantern with

I Greet October

When I tell people that I love autumn, October, and Halloween, they usually nod and smile. It makes sense to them, I guess. You know. The guy who writes horror and watches scary movies all the time. Of course he loves October and Halloween. And I’m content letting them think there’s nothing more to it.

It’s Raining Acorns

First, the good news. Thanks to the twitter competition called #10bythen, (in which the participants try to submit at least 10 stories in a given month) I have received an acceptance. My story, “When Ayanna Kapoor Waits,” has been accepted to On Spec. I’m really excited to be a part of this very cool magazine,

Why I Hate Netflix Member Reviews

A large portion of Netflix reviewers are bipolar. They have to be. Why else rate every single movie you see either 1 star or 5 stars and nothing in between? Are anyone’s preferences actually that black and white? I find it exceptional, especially considering nearly 90% of the movies I watch fall between the 2-4

Happy Friday the 13th

The blood streaming down my arm tells me it’s Friday the 13th again, and time for a quick post before I bleed out. Not to worry, folks. It’s not a mortal wound. Just a little tasty taste for the demons of the day. My cat, Jerry, seems to have picked up the scent. He just
