Rue Morgue will be closing it’s doors during the month of December, allowing us to reboot and spend some time with our family and friends. I can already smell the popcorn on the Christmas tree and taste the gingerbread houses, in which I will devour like a zombie eats brains. As we put issue 75 [...]
I’ve been addicted to watching Funny or Die, a comedy video website created by actor/comedian Will Ferrell and writer/director Adam McKay (Talladega Nights, Anchorman). Celebrities, up-and-coming comedians, and regular users can upload original material or stuff they think is funny and the viewers can vote “Funny” or “Die” by clicking on the vote button. You [...]

Jovanka and I survived the long hours at the booth, the late night parties, and sexual advances from Tony Todd (I kid!), but here’s a few snap shots of some of the shennanigans from the Rock and Shock convention in Worcester, MA. We met a lot of rabid RM fans, talked a lot of shop [...]
My parents surprised us today at Rue Morgue with this ghoulish gift basket filled with everything but candy apples and razor blades. It was a gift to Rod and the Rue Crew congratulating us on our ten year anniversary. Thanks for the support mom and dad, we love you too!
