Below is my most recent Scary Monsters magazine article, published in issue #82. It is called “The Frightening Roots of Nosferatu,” and is a tribute to the film during the 90th anniversary of this German Expressionist classic. I take a look at the roots of Nosferatu, and in particular the occult ties to its creators.

Interview with Comic Writer Rachel Deering

by on Apr.03, 2012, under Horror Show Hosts

Reposted from Dr. Gangrene’s Tales from the Lab Blog | Go to Original Post

It was my pleasure recently to speak with comic book writer Rachel Deering, who has published the first issue of a Werewolf comic called ANATHEMA. She is following that up with 5 more issues of lyncanthropic terror, so I thought I’d interview her here and find out a little about Anathema…

So Rachel – thanks for joining me here. Always great to meet a fellow horror lover.
The pleasure is all mine!

Tell me a little about your comic book, Anathema. It is a werewolf story set in the 1600s, if I’m not mistaken…
Anathema is a six issue limited series horror comic that tells the story of Mercy Barlowe, a tormented young woman with a dark side. She must fight through treacherous lands and unspeakable horrors to reclaim her lover’s soul, which has been stolen by members of a sinister cult, bent on resurrecting a terrible and ancient evil.
I was purposefully vague about the exact setting of Anathema, both in date and geography. The only hint I gave was that the story takes place in a time long after the days of the Witchfinder General, and the persecution of countless innocents. I didn’t want to force myself to have to adhere to a certain time period or setting.

You wrote the story, who did the art?
The pencils and inks come from an extremely talented guy named Christopher Mooneyham. The colors were handled by Fares Maese, and I did all of the lettering.
Issue one is finished already, funded through Kickstarter. This time around you’re asking for enough money to print all 5 remaining issues. Was this to facilitate a more frequent publishing schedule?
Yeah, I wanted to get the first issue out there and test the waters before I committed myself to the rest of the series. The response to that first issue has been great, so now I want to knock out the remaining five issues in the series, and try to get this thing released on a bi-monthly schedule.

How many pages are in each issue? The artwork is in full color, correct?
Each issue will be 22 pages of story, rendered in full color, as well as a few pages of ads and supplemental materials.
This is a six-issue mini-series. Is the art for all of the issues completed?
Unfortunately not. I can’t even begin to pay for all of the art out of my own pocket, so that’s why I’ve launched a kickstarter campaign for the project.
The tweet that caught my attention this morning was – “Who wants to see more lesbian werewolf stories?” On your Kickstarter page you describe Anathema as a Lesbian Werewolf Epic. Can you elaborate further on this description?

That description was actually given to Anathema by Werewolf-News.com. They featured an article that called Anathema the “Epic Lesbian Werewolf Revenge Quest”, and it just kinda stuck.
Is the title, Anathema (which means a person or thing detested or loathed) referring to the werewolf curse, society’s reaction to the lesbian nature of the main character, or something else entirely?
All of the above! When Mercy is banished by Sarah’s father at the beginning of the story, she cries out that she’s become anathema. After she becomes a werewolf, it’s clear that she’s destined to become anathema wherever she goes.
As an openly gay woman you naturally have a unique insight into the plight and struggles of Mercy. This comic seems the perfect vehicle to make a statement on the prejudices that unfortunately still exist in the world today. As the character and story came into fruition was this in the back of your mind?

I didn’t set out to write any sort of preachy pulp, but I needed some kind of catalyst for Mercy’s decline into a frantic state. I used the homophobia in the story simply because it’s something that a lot of people can relate to.

Tell me about your werewolf. Does she retain her human consciousness when she changes? Can she control the change, or does it happen with the cycle of the moon?
Mercy is completely aware of everything that is happening to her during and after the change. She can still think and function like a human, but her physical self becomes something monstrous. As for her control over the change, that’s something we’ll have to explore in future issues of the book.
What has been the response to the first issue?
Overwhelmingly positive, thankfully! Everyone who has read it has had nothing but kind words to send my way. I imagine there are people out there who don’t really care for it, and I understand that complately. Lesbian werewolves aren’t for everyone.
Are there future adventures for Mercy after these 6 issues, or is this it?
I don’t think I can fully answer this question without spoiling the ending of the book, haha. Let’s just settle on “maybe”, to be vague, haha.
Where can folks find issue one, and how can they help fund the remainder of the series?
The first issue has sold out on my end, but another print run is scheduled for May. People can follow me on twitter @racheldeering for constant updates on my projects, and how to get them. If they want to help fund the remaining five issues, they can visit my kickstarter page at http://kck.st/H4COs1

Finally, tell me about your heavy metal band, Cryptlord. How would you describe your sound and where can folks find some of your music?
Cryptlord is still in its infancy, honestly. My time is almost completely wrapped up in writing, editing, and lettering comic books, so music is very much a limited past time activity for me. That said, Cryptlord is an old school thrash/death metal band with a lot of harmonized guitar, melodic leads, and a ton of groove. It’s everything I like about metal, all wrapped up into one band.
Alright, thanks again for spending some time with me here and telling us all about your lupine tales. We’ll definitely keep in touch as the issues are published, and let me know if Cryptlord ever gets some music recorded or travels down Nashville way!
Will do! Thanks!

Rondo Awards are in!

by on Apr.03, 2012, under Horror Show Hosts

Reposted from Dr. Gangrene’s Tales from the Lab Blog | Go to Original Post

The winners for the 2011 Rondo Awards were announced last night and once again it was a really terrific year of awards. I know it may sound corny, but it is an honor to be nominated. I was nominated for three awards – Best Website, Best Fan Event, and Favorite Horror Host. That is so cool that someone else thought enough of my work to nominate it for an award.

In the past I’ve compared the Rondos to the Oscar Awards – in truth they’re actually closer to the People’s Choice Awards. Fan nominated and Fan voted. And in reality, I’m a fan myself, so it thrills me to see people like Roger Koch win best Fan Artist, Terror from the Daves win best Blog (great guys who update daily on horror host activity – very cool), Tom Berdinski win Best Short Film for his GIANT RUBBER MONSTER MOVIE, or even Elvira win Favorite Horror Host. The woman has been hosting for decades on a national network and is a Halloween icon.

And most of all I was proud to see MORGUS THE MAGNIFICENT inducted into the Rondo Award Hall of Fame. I really campaigned for him to win, singing his praises left and right. He is a national legend of horror hosts and more than deserving. He goes into the Hall of Fame with fellow horror host legends Vampira, Zacherley, Ghoulardi, and Sammy Terry. Pretty impressive list of hosts.

So thanks again to Dave Colton, the Rondo board, and most of all everyone who voted for me in the awards. Look forward to seeing the winners at Wonderfest this May, and here’s to another successful season of Rondo Awards – Long Live the Rondos!

Babes Invade Chiller Drive-In!

by on Apr.01, 2012, under Horror Show Hosts

Reposted from Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-In | Go to Original Post

This week Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-In brings you the hotties!
Boney knows what's good.Saturday at 10 pm EST on RTV: Hope you’re hungry for cheese and cheesecake. It’s “Horrors of Spider Island.”
The only real horror about this film is that fact that it got made in the first place. It stars a bevy of babes that are stranded on a deserted island with their manager. The manager gets bitten by a huge spider and turns into a lusty, fuzzy monster. 
But don’t worry about that. Most of this film is spent on the girls and their fights, snarky comments and skimpy outfits. It’s a terrible movie that’s easy on the eye.
Monday at 8pm EST on The Monster Channel: Let’s get small on “Phantom Planet.”
This sci-fi stinker is your typical man-meets-aliens fare, with desperate attempts at realism, cheeseball special effects and sub plots galore. 
Starring Dean Fredericks, who appeared in dozens of films and TV shows. But stealing the show with her raven hair and scorching hot bod is Dolores Faith as Zetha.
Please, don't spoil it by talking. 
Join Wolfman Mac’s Howlin’ Hullabaloo on uDetroit! Mac hosts a new variety show with music, interviews and all kinds of retro goodness. You can either watch it live on the uDetroit site or come down to the uDetroit Cafe for food and drinks and watch the show as it happens!
Tune in this Saturday from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. Watch the show live or catch recorded episodes. For more info click here!

Cardone Spookshow Ghostly Fun At Canal Park Playhouse

by on Mar.30, 2012, under Horror Show Hosts

Reposted from Zombos’ Closet | Go to Original Post

Cardone’s magic and spookshow at the Canal Park Playhouse, playing every Tuesday until April 17th, is an intimate, weird, and fun romp for just about everyone (may be too intense for kids under 8 or so), especially the last 10 minutes, when the lights die, and the ghosts come alive.
