In 2023, I read a holiday story themed by Ross Grimson. The content is available through the provided podcast link, where listeners can explore engaging narratives and themes for the season. The reading aims to highlight the essence of the holiday spirit through storytelling.
The piece discusses the rise of boutique movie releases and their impact on the collecting habits of movie enthusiasts. It also includes a retrospective on the film GRINDHOUSE. The insights highlight how these boutique releases are shaping the film culture among collectors and fans alike.
In which I talk about the expectations we bring to movies, music, books, and art, and how it gets in the way of enjoyment, and even understanding of the art. Sometimes you just need to get over yourself, ya know? Theme by Ross Grimson
As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical
I always have a hard time calling things ‘mockumentaries’. The word ‘mock’ catches me. In my head, I hear it as if it’s mocking a subject or style. Not imitating it but making fun of it. Pseudo-documentary feels better but is a lot of goop in the mouth and it doesn’t sound better. I shall,… Continue reading Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
I think I have this same sort of feeling after every event I’ve put on myself or helped put on - Why? Why do it? Why put in the time, and the hours, and the money when the results can be…disappointing at best? This isn’t an O-Woe post, but a reality check for myself. I… Continue reading Be A Fan
In which I talk about film festivals and what makes them so special. https://spookychris.com/the-spooky-chris-podcast/
There is this whole line of thought that you have to put something out there, to ‘put it into the universe’ to ‘manifest’ it. So if you want to be rich you are just like - I want to be rich. If you want to be loved you say - I want to be loved. … Continue reading Putting It All Out There
As a kid, I remember waiting with bated breath for fall. I was no fan of school, that’s to be sure, but I was desperate for the start of the fall cartoons and for the fall television slate. You see, in the ‘80s the fall season was when the new cartoons would debut as well… Continue reading Anticipation

This is a great magazine from Horroraddicts.net and I have a piece in this issue about my favorite holiday and it's pretty rad. Some great folks and great articles in this one so give it a whirl, won't… Continue reading Halloween Horror Curated
When I first started doing ‘zines with friends we were all about the DIY ethos. We were just kids, teenagers, and we didn’t have any money to put into anything, to be honest, so we cut pictures out of old magazines, printed things off of computer printers, and made copies at copy centers or on… Continue reading Broken Systems
Sometimes I wonder if we’re trying to heave ladders toward heaven with how anxious we are to pore over the art of the past to find its flaws. We are desperate to show how wise and cultured and enlightened we are and just as anxious to post about it so everyone can know about it… Continue reading Ladders to Heaven
It’s funny that for me, talking about music feels almost shameful. For ANYONE to talk about music should never be shameful, let’s just say that. Sure, I don’t know the internal organs of music, the ‘musicology’ of it all how music looks beneath the skin or the lineage that brought it from birth to now.… Continue reading The Rhythm and the Beat
