This Week’s Top 5 Blog Posts
I highly suspect that when one of the projects I end up launching goes live that this blog is going to wither away back to it’s regular non-updating status. WE SHALL SEE! In the meantime here is another list of my favorite blog posts from the week.
1. Music Box Massacre 5 by: Rick Romanowskiof of Paradise of Horror.
This was an easy winner. You get to tie in Chicago, Horror, and the fact that Bryan and I will be harassing Rick here for the next 10 years. Why the harassment? Well it may have something to do with Rick calling Stuart Gordon, the director of Re-animator, a “fat bearded geezer” by accident.
2. Announcing The Boris Karloff Blogathon! by: Pierre Fournier of Frankensteinia.
Blogathon’s are always fun to see happen. It’s great to get a pile of bloggers on the same page, writing about the same subject, and see what comes up. Frankensteinia is doing just such an activity and all based on the works of Boris Karloff!
3. FEARnet’s Free Flicks for the Halloween Season by: Scott Weinberg of Horror Squad.
Since the holiday season is clearly a time of love, giving, and cold weather (…we’re still talking about Halloween right?) what is better to horror fanatics then giving the gift of free horror movies. Scott has a round up of the current free offerings from FEARnet to celebrate the season!
4. 2009 Reaper Award Winners! by: Matt Fini of Dread Central.
Dread Central’s yearly Reaper Awards are done with and the winners are in! The Reaper Awards are one of the major award ceremonies within the horror community each year and the list of all those were rose above the crowd are listed here.
5. Zombiemania: Lots of Fun, but Where Are the Italians? by: Brian Solomon of The Vault of Horror.
I can’t exactly get by without a post on zombies right? Brian has a great write up of the Zombiemania that’s been on Starz and also focuses on the one area of zombies that the documentary ignores- Italian zombie movies. Anyone out there who follows the Zombie sub-genre will easily tell you some of the greatest movies came from Italy and also, at least stateside, some of those that were sadly ignored. (Italy really has a triple shot of greatness going on- Women, Food, and Zombies. Yes I’m skimming over everything else great from the country but those do happen to be my favorites.)
