A quick hit for you this afternoon. Not quite a "
Horror Blogger Roundup", since this isn't entirely blog stuff per se--but I just wanted to keep you folks abreast of some interesting stuff going on. So keep your greasy eyeballs peeled!
- Friend of the Vault and fellow LoTTD'er Jammin' Jimmy Cortez of Planet of Terror recently announced that he will be presenting two indie horror flicks at the upcoming Crypticon convention happening in Seattle next month, so if you happen to be in the nation's suicide capital, you would do well to check it out. The films in question are Summer School (not the Mark Harmon one, I assume) and Alice Jacobs Is Dead. Cortez is also running a contest for those willing to design a flyer to promote the event, with some cool prizes, including a subscription to Horror Hound. So go to POT for more info...
- Battlin' Bryan White of Cinema Suicide, another FotV and LoTTD'er, also has a very interesting project on the horizon. It's called How to Survive the Strange, and it's a web series that basically spoofs the whole DIY phenomenon, offering tips on how to fend off zombies, vampires and various other sorts of nasties. The whole thing officially rolls out next Monday, but if you'd like a sneak peek video, head on over to CS right now...
I was lucky enough to come across the fine publication Gothic Beauty on the rack at Borders over the weekend, and recommend it highly for all those interested in the whole horror-as-fashion movement that's all the rage these days. The nimble Nos, a Vault contributor and former Ms. Horror Blogosphere contestant, is on the writing staff, and if that's not cool enough, the current issue has a nice little spotlight on the courageous Christopher Zenga, zombie artist extraordinaire, whom you may recall painted a lovely portrait of yours truly...
- And speaking of yours truly, because what would a series of plugs be without one for myself, I'd like to point you in the direction of a couple of guest posts I had the privilege of doing over the past couple of days. The first is a review of one of my favorite pulp novels, The Mysterious Wu Fan: The Case of the Yellow Mask over at the culture blog Pattinase. And then, for those looking for my review of The Human Centipede, look no further than the kitschy Katiebabs' excellent blog Babbling About Books and More...
