Back in 2011, my friend and author James Calemine worked for the online Southern music and culture magazine SWAMPLAND. James, knowing my affection for old and weird horror movies, invited me to write a series about some of my favorites, leading up to Halloween. It was one of the more fun writing projects I've ever gotten into. I even wound up flying to Columbus, Ohio, to meet the great hero/horror movie host of my youth, Fritz the Nite Owl. James and I talked about extending the project beyond 2011; I was just whetting my appetite, and getting ready to dive into some of the more obscure and bizarre films that had warped my young mind. Many of the titles I tackled in 2011 were more well known fare, such as PSYCHO and THE EXORCIST. But some things changed at Swampland, and I got busy with other projects too...so we just left it where it was at Halloween of 2011. Anyway, it was good fun, and if anyone wants to take a peek at any of the pieces I turned out that year, they're all collected right here at the following link. Happy Halloween! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GMXdnuSXliZ3ZVWlBBb0U1ZXc/view
