INT: STATE POLICE HEADQUARTERS - CHAD'S OFFICE - DAY The massive, crumbling BOOK that was found in the Dunwich house raid is spread on the desk. Police analyst CHAD, 20s or 30s, pudgy and frumpily dressed, sits behind the desk, addressing FBI SPECIAL AGENT FRANCES "FRANKIE" MORGAN. A small POMERANIAN DOG named Pablo yips around Chad's …
At 17 I learned to partner-dance, and it was spectacular. It was 1998, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies were popular for some reason, and I was friends with a lot of Mormons, so naturally I needed to learn to swing dance. As happens more often you would think, our high school lunch-club of nerds included one …
A number of months ago, I was getting coffee at my neighborhood coffee shop, when a younger guy asked me "Hey, did you used to live at the apartments down the street?" "I still live there," I replied. "Did we used to be neighbors?" "Yeah," the young man, whose name was Cole, said. "I recognize …
Am I the only one who sometimes gets a seriously guilty-conscience urge to listen to the band Lostprophets? For those who don’t know, they were a Welsh rock band who had a breakthrough in popularity, only to be destroyed when the lead singer turned out to be a degenerate pedophile. Seriously, a monster. https://youtu.be/NjKmCxyKmas …
I must have listened to Ryan Hamilton's new stand-up special Happy Face four times, before it hit me - "I don't think I've heard this guy cuss." I started looking for it, and sure enough, Hamilton is that rare bird in post-Eddie Murphy culture - a non-dirty comedian. He doesn't talk about sex either. He …
Someone replied to my post about the 4 Horror Movies that Truly Scared Me that he took his son to see Event Horizon when the son was eight. Interesting parenting choice ... My family went to see Jurrasic Park in theaters, and I didn't make it through the scene where Genarro is eaten by the T. Rex. https://youtu.be/VMzfrod7hcE …
If you've explored my music and video sections, you know a little bit about my band, Trashy And The Kid. It's fun, and I like our music and what we do, but one of my favorite things about the band is how freaking funny everyone is. I think I'm a pretty witty guy, but next …
I really enjoy a good horror movie (as you might have guessed from my repeated posts about the upcoming "IT" movie), and for the most part I don't get nightmares from them. I hide my eyes from suspense-building scenes and I am susceptible to jump scares, but I don't hesitate to walk around corners for a …
I spent the better part of today in a race with the moon, trying to catch a patch of blue sky on a cloudy day in Missouri so I could witness my first, and possibly last, total eclipse of the sun. I resolved to fly into the path of totality for this one. I could …
A three-and-a-half minute preview of Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's "IT," the move that I am one, twice, three times-a-lady excited about, screened in front of "Anabelle: Creation." Spoilers ahead! The scene is from the first chapter of the book and, I assume, one of the first scenes in the movie, where Georgie Denbrough …
