For my first (long overdue) blog post, I’d like to remind you all of the 69th anniversary of Orson Welles’ infamous adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds.
The War of the Worlds has been adapted a number of times, most recently with the over-stuffed special effects demo reel directed by Steven Spielberg. Welles’ […]

No matter how you feel about the recent incarnation of the Misfits these days, it’s really all about hearing those horror tunes live in a packed house filled with fellow fiends. Jerry and Co. was in fine form and we had a blast. Dez (from Black Flag) on guitar even dedicated “Walk Among Us” to […]

If you happen to be an early riser, (which is doubtful if you’re as nocturnal as I am), I’ll be live on London Ontario’s 1031 Fresh FM October 31, on the Big D, Mindy and Gord morning show at 8:40 a.m. You can tune into the show on their website by clicking the “Listen Live” […]

If you’re in the Santa Monica area, the Copro Nason Gallery is hosting Chet Zar’s The Talking Board Show, featuring Ouija Boards and Ouija Board-inspired art by all kinds of cool artists. The one pictured above is courtesy Eric Pigors. And if you wanna know more about the history of the boards, see Rue Morgue […]

Here’s a link to a brief interview I did with Sean “Sickboy” McNab, stand-up bass player for the psychobilly band The Creepshow. Fazer is a free online music magazine co-founded by graphic designer Mike Bax, a friend that I went to college with many moons ago. Aimed at concert junkies and music lovers, Fazer is […]

As Halloween approaches, various publications approach us for horror-related quotes. Here are two recent newspaper articles I was interviewed for.
This one was for the CanWest News Service, conducted by Misty Harris, who I know from my freelancing days in Edmonton. It has showed up in several newspapers across Canada.
