I read two books in January. Just finished Charles Bukowski’s novel about getting the movie Barfly made. I read it first and then looked at the wikipedia page to see who was who. Some of the names were obvious like Werner Herzog changed to Wenner Zergog. But the Sean Penn to Tom Pell was not.… Read more Hollywood – Charles Bukowski

Friday the 13th, which seems appropriate, I went to my first concert of the Year. The Headliners were Defeated Sanity, with Malignancy, Prophecy, Strangle Wire supporting and Slaughter Swamp opening the show. I didn’t know much about any of the bands and this was the first I had seen any of them, but it was… Read more Defeated Sanity – First Concert of the Year

It’s been three months since I last posted and a new year starting is a good place to start again. The year is ending with me losing my job. Nothing I did, everyone said they fought to keep me and was sad to see me go. Lot’s of well-wishes and all that, but the company… Read more Happy New Year 2023

Rob Zombie’s The Munsters is the least violent Rob Zombie ever. Unlike most of his movies, this one is for the more younger set, so no nudity, extreme violence, foul language. He keeps it clean like the original. Sure some of the implications are bad, like where does the blood come from that the blood… Read more The Munsters (2022)

I’m not actually sure if the original Resident Evil from 2002 counts as a horror movie. Yes, it has monsters, zombies, killer AI, and evil corporations, but it’s so much of a video game action movie, that it’s almost not. Close enough for me though. I liked it when I first saw it 20 years… Read more Resident Evil (2002)

It’s been six months since I’ve last posted. But I thought I’d try again in honor of Halloween month. And I started by watching the middle part of the latest Halloween trilogy. The first part came out in 2018 and is a direct sequel to the original 1978 Halloween. I haven’t seen it, so some… Read more Halloween Kills (2021)

Thursday, March 17th, I went to Cannibal Corpse. The show was sold out and while waiting to get in, I saw lots of people not able to get tickets. The room was so packed that basically everyone was just grinding into each other. They still managed to create a big circle pit in the middle,… Read more Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel, Revocation, Shadow of Intent March 17th 2022

Tuesday, February 1st 2022, I wen to the Vibes Event Center in San Antonio and saw Obituary, Municipal Waste. Gatecreeper, and Enforced. It was a fun show. Lots of energy and great songs. I got pushed back too much by the pit, so couldn’t get a good photo of Obituary. Got a good sock to… Read more Obituary, Municipal Waste, Gatecreeper, Enforced February 1st 2022

I finished Ham On Rye by Charles Bukowski today. And it continued to make me like his foul, hard prose. This is his origin story of his alter ego Henry Chinaski. He’s not always the most pleasant read, but the prose always makes up for the dirty situations he describes. I think this is the… Read more Ham On Rye – Charles Bukowski

Witchfinder General is a movie staring Vincent Price as a thoroughly evil finder of witches. This is a really good period piece. It’s not a pleasant film. Nothing good happens to anyone. It was censored in the UK for a long time and I can kind of understand why. It’s brutal. I really enjoyed the… Read more Witchfinder General (1968)
