A thing you can read!

So the fine folks at AfterEllen asked if I wanted to start a monthly column about women and/in/about horror. I said, "Why yes, that sounds like a delight." The column is called "Take Back the Knife" and the first one is up and running right now, woo! It's all about the making of In Satan's Closet, which I hope you've watched already. If not, what are you waiting for? Git over there and watch! Or watch it here at FG! Or whatever!

I wish I could take credit for coming up with the name "Take Back the Knife", but I can't (hat tip to my friend Dara for that one). I just don't have that sort of clever-pun-riddled brain. Like, if I opened a hair salon I wouldn't call it, you know, SHEAR MAGIC or something. I'd probably call it HAIR CUTS.

Also, I posted up the third episode of Space Girls. You should watch that, too. I mean, if you want to. No pressure or anything.

stuff to read!

Over at Slammed & Damned, the inimitable Theron Neel has posted a little piece about a short film called Itch- a short film that I'm totally directing, woo! I'm really excited about it- and nervous, and...well, go read his post and you'll see why.

Over at AMC, I've got a l'il list about Quentin Tarantino. I like his stuff.

Over at Space Girls HQ, I posted a killer piece of Space Girls art by Renae DeLiz. Did you watch episode 2 yet? Please do! Spread the word!

Over at...over at...eh, that's all I've got.

Who's going to see Splice? Plenty of writers I adore really dug it, so don't necessarily take my negative word for it. Go! Get out of the house! Have some Sno-Caps! Watch the type of horror movie that's becoming increasingly difficult to see in theaters!

Meanwhile, I'll be doing something that I wish was as cool as this:

another thing on my other thing

Yesterday I told you all about how being on Final Girl meant you were just one click away from Episode 2 of Space Girls. Well, friends, that's still true! Now you're in luck- today you're also but one click away from a wee little space-centric Q & A with Episode 2's special guest star Lena Headey. You might remember her from something called The Cave, wherein she portrayed a scienceologist.

Speaking of special guest stars, if I ever get to put the words

SPECIAL GUEST STAR
HEATHER LOCKLEAR
AS AMANDA

on an episode of Space Girls, I will just die. DIE. Yes, I would name her character Amanda. Everyone- wish it for your birthdays!

I don't mean the me dying part. I mean...ehh.

my other thing

Thought I'd let you know that a new episode of Space Girls has appeared from the blackest depths of...you know, space. Featuring guest star Lena Headey! Click to enjoy (or at least watch)!

a happy day...

...full of happiness. Not like stupid ol' yesterday with its swear word this and its this sucks that. No, my friends, today is about things that are both fresh and exciting- you know, like that Kool & the Gang song "Joanna".

Did you know that Kool & the Gang formed up in 1964? That's so much earlier than I thought. I think their first hit was "Jungle Boogie", which came along in the early 70s...but their REAL mainstream success happened in the 80s, about 20 years after they started. Let Kool & the Gang guide you! Don't give up on your dreams! Show, as they did, what people who like to make up words might call "stick-toit-iveness".

Wow, that last paragraph was very American Psycho of me.

Anyway. Some things!

Thing the first: Because I really don't have enough going on every day, I just relaunched Toosday Toons over yonder at AfterEllen.com. For those of you who have known me for years, I think this marks Toosday Toons v4.0. Every time I think I'm out, et cetera et cetera something something obligatory Godfather III joke. As the title may imply, new strips will appear at AfterEllen on Tuesdays.


Thing the second: Mr. Eric Spudic of Spudic's Movie Empire has initiated a fundraising campaign to pay for radio advertising. Check it out! Or if you're in the Los Angeles area, stop by his store. Or if you're not in the Los Angeles area, check out his site and special order some goodies. It's a good old-fashioned movie store made for browsing and lovers of trash like myself. A gold mine, I tells ya!

Thing the third: The Viscera 2008-2009 DVD is finally on sale! Head over to The Chainsaw Mafia and nab yerself a copy. It's got my short film Taste of Flesh, Taste of Fear on it, as well as Lip Stick, one of the films Shannon Lark and I made together. There's also a bunch of other shorts made by a bunch other awesome women. Blam!


Thing the fourth:
Taste of Flesh, Taste of Fear is now available for pre-order! Yes, you can get a copy of my lesbian vampire fashion doll "epic" to clutch to your very own bosoms. Thanks to the magic of my pal Andrew of Gonzoriffic, the DVD features both the film and a director's commentary track. Since I am the director, it would be safe to assume that the commentary track features me. It's only $5 plus shipping! It's a DVD-R, but it's got a fancy cover and a standard DVD case, totally safe for bosom-clutching. I'm going to try to put up a Paypal button now that will allow you to order directly. Let's see how this goes...I hope this button is gentle. It's my first time!







Thing the fifth: Thanks to everyone who watched the first episode of my new web show Space Girls. I'm hard at work on the second episode, and I promise some very cool guest stars are coming in future installments!
Thing the sixth: The Scare-ening is on tomorror night at 8pm PST. Tune in and listen! Or don't.

Thing the seventh: I swear I'm going to have a review up here tomorrow, even if it's the last thing I ever do. I hope it's not the last thing I ever do, but if it is, remember: YOU are my favorite reader!

i have a new thing!

So, Space Girls is my new thing. Check out the website. The entire affair is completely ridiculous. The second episode will be better than the first, I swear.
