125 Days



I've been waiting forever to see this... but not unlike Halloween it's been slated for release in October-- straight to DVD! I don't even have to kidnap a movie partner which makes it all the sweeter a victory. I shall satiate the need till then with the book and the trailer for a little inspiration.

The ideas are flowing. . .

126 Days

For the longest time my best friend Laurie B and I would rent "Ernest Scared Stupid" whenever we had a sleepover at each others house. For awhile there it was "Toys" with Robin Williams and "A Pyromaniacs Love Story", but that's only because we kept falling asleep in the middle of it.

I remember we would torcher my little brother telling him about the troll and how it was coming for him. I didn't mind sharing my little brother with her to help induce his nightmares-- she was the youngest in her family with two older brothers so she needed the catharsis I'd imagine.

Then, every spring my family would rent this house in the Shenandoah mountains. We'd end up leaving late and driving along the highway in twilight all those tiny pines that lined the manmade hills I'd tell my brother were the trolls following us to the cabin. He bought it every time. He never did make the connection about milk being a viable weapon against the troll and his minions.

I watched this a few weeks ago and fell in love all over again with Eartha Kitt and the lactose intolerant, child-eating trolls. Even though, technically I guess they didn't really eat 'em, just turned 'em into tree root sculptures. Another fact lost on The Brother all those years ago.

129 Days

Word on the street is that fall has begun to pop up in the local craft stores, which means Halloween is on it's way. My craniums all abuzz with nifty little notions for Halloween. I wake up at 3am and jot things down or make mini movies, fall asleep to horror-thons and have 6am photo shoots with masked maniac plushies.... This is the good life.
