Lucky McKee Marathon with live updating on Twitter!
Hello Ghouls and Boils
Happy 2010 to all of our fiends – old and new! I hope your holiday season was filled with spooktacular surprises. 2010 is going to be a phantastic year for scifi, strange tales and horror! I am already receiving some brilliant stuff to talk with you all about. I am so excited to share the treasures I have dug up (or have magically landed in my lap). I am almost done reading The Saint Perpetuus Club of Buenos Aires by Eric Stener Carlson (a Tartarus Press book) – you can expect to hear all about it in the next week or so. I am also working on an article called, “My Decade of Horror”. We have new reviews coming from the Minions as well – so stay tuned!
This evening I am having a (belated) birthday celebration. And since it’s my birthday I get to pick the theme! This year I am having a Lucky McKee Fest – a terrorific triple feature: May, Roman and The Woods! Good wine, good cheese, good friends – blood, guts and gore – what more could a girl ask for?
Lucky McKee is one of my favorite modern Horror Masters. If you are unfamiliar, do yourself a favor and look into his work.
The first movie we will watch is perhaps my favorite modern horror film – May
Second we are watching Roman (which ashamedly I have yet to see). I am excited to watch this one!
And the final movie for the night will be The Woods (Bruce Cambell, Patricia Clarkson – Woot!)
For those of my fiends who are sad they can’t be here to celebrate my 34th trip around the sun – fear not! I will be doing live updates on She Never Slept’s Twitter Page! That’s right, you can read all of my thoughts on the films (and I am sure the folks joining me for the fest will chime in too!) as I am watching them. The party starts at 7pm Pacific and goes until the films are over. WARNING: This will NOT be spoiler free. So if you haven’t seen these flicks it is probably best to avoid She Never Slept’s Twitter page for tonight. *grins wickedly* (Remember: you don’t have to sign up to see my updates. But if you are on Twitter, please do follow us for the latest news and exclusive content!)
I must go prep for the party now ghouls and boils. Have a frightening Friday whatever you do! Enjoy my fiends!
Abstrusely,
Sarah L. Gerhardt
