The 2 1/2 days I spent in downtown Marietta covering the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival was some of the best times I’ve spent in the midst of genre fans and filmmakers ever, and that includes DragonCon. The atmosphere, the interactions, the creativity were all electric, and helped sustain me when theatres shut down shortly after that, and the COVID pandemic began. I knew I would have to make […]
I think the next Sundance Film Festival I cover will have to be in person.

With October comes my annual horror movie marathon, now in its’ fourth year. The horror movies in my collection get brought out […]
I’ll keep this entry as short as possible. There’s not much to say really. I just wanted to let you guys know that I have a new composition available at both Sonic Cinema and MySpace for those of you on that site.
