I do indeed have a job(4 incomes,in fact) but I always make time for horror flicks(pretty much I work just to buy more). I do always seem to suffer from lack of sleep. Been like that since I was younger growing up on Fritz The Nite Owl and other late night hosts. Just a "student of midnight", I guess(as referred to in the 1985 Twilight Zone episode "Monsters"). I am 45 so I am in that "Monsterkid" term era.
In the past many days I have watched even more of my favorites from my collection like Watcher in the Woods,Crawlspace(72),At the Earth's Core,Night of the Creeps,Found(would still make a great premiere),Beast Wishes(good old Bob Burns,the new Forry),Laserblast,The Snake Woman,Bad Biology,Scanners II and III,Track of the Moon Beast,F13th Pt.5 with special CInema Wasteland commentary,Raw Force,Creature from Black Lake and even more. The flickering TV continues....
I do love The Other and Dear Dead Delilah. Two favorites of mine from Double Chiller days from back in my youth. I have DVDs and VHS of both them. Watched them both about 2 months ago again.
I will also be checking out the Cleveland/Cincy Goblin shows. Very excited but just wish it was the original full lineup.
As for my response to Willcail(and to not cause a flamewar),I will keep it brief.
First,it is Infra-Kid,as in Infra-Man,except my more childlike version of myself.
Second,VHS is still a GREAT format and I still have 1000s upon 1000s of VHSs and will continue to collect them. There are even, at this point, 4 documentaries on VHS including Adjust Your Tracking(in which I am actually thanked and was interviewed for at The Tape Eaters convention in Dayton,OH). There are also several Horror VHS magazines like Lunchmeat and Tape Mold out there now and fans are still growing.
Third,there are several 35mm screenings(including Suspiria) playing every week somewhere across the US and Canada. If you come out of your mom's basement once in awhile you would see there are huge amounts of screenings and conventions across this land. Even this weekend there are multiple 35mm films showing at the Chicago 24 Hour Horror Marathon as well as showings in Maryland,California and NY. Just because they aren't showing them in Columbus,OH doesn't mean they can't show them. There was a rare showing of Astro Zombies on 35mm at The Grandview. Where were you? The New Bev and The Nuart,out in L.A.,show this kind of stuff all the time. Just because you aren't there doesn't mean it can't happen. The Cleveland 12 Hours of Terror Horror Marathon will be this weekend also(although probably most on DVD proj.)but just another example of the other chances to see things outside your room. Even Cinema Wasteland showed several movies on film over the weekend(including Frogs) and conventions are all over the country like Monsterbash,G-Fest,HorrorHound,Days of the Dead(coming up in a couple weeks),Monster Mania,Flashback Weekend,Horror Realm and many others. Don't remember seeing you at any of those,either.
So to wrap up,if you want to complain,complain to yourself. Horror is rolling along just fine without you. All the showings and conventions go on without a hitch without you. No problem.
..but to return to my original topics,I thought And Now The Screaming Stars was a little on the slow side,too. Plenty of late night creepers out there. I always recommend SCreams of A Winter Night,The Deathmaster,Let's Scare Jessica To Death and many others. Lots of great horror flicks out there. Probably why I have an entire room filled with them.
