As a Format, VHS Kinda Sucked
last night i caught bits of a twitter debate about the relative merits of vhs tapes versus dvd. back in the day i had a gigantic vhs collection, and i look back on it with fond nostalgia. however, around 1999, i welcomed the arrival of our new digital overlords with open arms and have never [...]
Used Horror DVDs
i recently moved, and while packing/unpacking/organizing all of my dvds, it quickly became apparent that my collection had grown beyond what most (including my wife) would consider “a reasonable size.” to remedy this, i took a rather large selection of my dvds and put them for for sale on amazon. my collection spans the full [...]
Foreign Horror Film Posters
poster-iffic awesomeness from strange, foreign lands where they do things like eat mayonnaise on their french fries, brew good beer, smoke inside restaurants, wear clothes with wacky names like “lederhosen” and produce awesome flicks like [REC] … The Birds (Czechoslovakia) Dawn of the Dead (Germany) Carrie (Turkey) Carrie (Spain) The Exorcist (Turkey) The Howling (Belgium) [...]
Hammer Glamour Winner
after a very complicated and technologically sophisticated random selection procedure (i.e., i put everyone’s name on a scrap of post-it note, placed them in a plastic bowl and had a co-worker pick one), we’ve decided on a winner for our hammer glamour book give-away! in addition to running one of the most stylish and polished [...]

True Blood Merchandise
i recently became addicted to alan ball’s true blood and discovered that, even when it comes to merchandising their shows, hbo does everything right. from merlotte’s server shirts to fangtasia t-shirts to actual bottles of true blood, the hbo store seems to have it all. they even have a shirt that references the show’s most [...]

The One Who Dies With The Most Toys Wins
hannibal lecter once said: How do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? No, we begin by coveting what we see every day. i humbly disagree. the only thing i can see from where i’m sitting right now is a half full cherry coke bottle and an empty tape dispenser. [...]
