The Spooky World of Chris Ringler
Welcome to my strange world of Blogs, Books, Movie Reviews, Podcasts, Stories, and Art!
Ok, so I fretted and fretted over the book yesterday. I knew it'd be big but didn't realize it'd be THIS big. Part of it is the form factor I chose. It was put it in my head that it'd be neat to have all the books have the same form factor as the other… Continue reading Some Info On The Novel and The COVER!
I am in the midst of the most un-fun part of the book process, at least for me, and that's laying it out. Thankfully I have an awesome girlfriend that knows her way around laying my books out who has been hard at work on it but it is for sure not a glamorous job.… Continue reading Laying It All Out
The Blind Dead Collection – movie review/s For us horror nerds there’s something wonderful about the undiscovered country of foreign and underground horror. It’s the fact that this stuff isn’t in the mainstream that makes it so cool and desirable. Even the bad stuff is lauded because it is different and unknown. Such is… Continue reading The Blind Dead Collection – review
George – A Zombie Intervention - review Ya know, I love zombies as much, no, more than the next guy but man, I tell you what, they are starting to get like vampires – which is to say that they are overexposed. The good thing is that zombies are still pretty interesting, and there are… Continue reading George–A Zombie Intervention – review
It is interesting that in the many, many years I have been blogging I have never really gotten into the days of my youth when my friends and I would make movies. We were late in our teens, bored, and loved movies. Ours were impromptu, ad-lib things that were high on ideas passion and low… Continue reading Zombie Girl–The Movie –movie review
BRAIN DEAD - Review There are people that you come across in life that you get to know but then who just disappear as if they fell off the earth. Such is the case with some filmmakers who, after making a few films that get some notice they just sort of, well, disappear. Far too… Continue reading Brain Dead – review
So, this is more like YESTERDAY's genius idea but still, I get credit. I was sitting there thinking yesterday, wow, so these zombie walks are starting to take off, that's pretty fun. But they need something. Everyone is doing their own thing, there's no connector. There's no sort of, I dunno, collective, no 'family'. Ah,… Continue reading My Genius Idea of the Day…
In your life, if you’re the reading sort, you will come across the books that will open your eyes to the world around you. Now, maybe they’ll be the ‘classics’, or perhaps something that is more modern, but over the years you will read books that will, in some way, change you. That’s powerful.… Continue reading World War Z – review
For sick people like me, horror movies were a staple of my formative years. and when it came to zombie movies I loved the Italian stuff. This wasn’t to say that I didn’t love the films George Romero was making but for pure nastiness and weirdness the Italians were where it was at. The plots… Continue reading Zombie Abomination/Zombie Atrocity – The Italian Zombie Movie Parts 1 and 2 – REVIEW
If there is a subject that should be rife with stories and ideal for a documentary, it should be Night of the Living Dead. This is single-handedly the most influential and important horror film made. Argue if you want to, that’s fine, but genre and sub-genre alike were born of this seed, as were the… Continue reading Autopsy of the Dead – review
I am offering this as a warning – if you are over the first person hand-held video narratives then brother, this movie ain’t for you. This is that to the nines, and, frankly, I am fine with that. I get a laugh when people complain about this style and say they want it to end… Continue reading The Zombie Diaries – review
For a long, long time director George Romero had the market cornered on zombie films. He was your one stop shop when it came to the living dead. That strangle hold seemed to weaken the years between Day of the Dead and Land of the Dead as other filmmakers, writers, and video game designers began… Continue reading Survival of the Dead – review
The Opening Night Jitters Billy put the last body in place and let out a long breath. It was done. At least his part in it. Beyond the zombies and the skeletons wasn’t his problem, that was Mark’s job, and if Mark was still making eyes at Dani, well, that sir, wasn’t his problem, now… Continue reading The Opening Night Jitters – a Halloween story
