Because You’re Tired Of Finding Nothing New Here
As longtime readers know, I am a bit manic-depressive when it comes to making regular posts. In my manic phases I hit a stride and I enjoying watching and reviewing films on a fairly regular basis. On the flip side, I have my depressive stages where I am simply content to watch the films and I don’t make blog posts for months on end. (I’m not really depressed by any means, just lazy.)
Guess which phase I’m in now?
Anyway, since I haven’t posted anything new for some time, I thought I’d share a few blogs I’ve been enjoying lately. If you like it around here, you’re sure to love the following blogs:
Frankensteinia: The Frankenstein Blog. Pierre describes his blog as such: “Tracking Frankenstein and all things related in the arts, media and popular culture.” I don’t think I can add much to that, except that he’s a joy to read and he really knows his stuff.
Also:
The Drunken Severed Head. Visit Max who, like us, is “fascinated by all things dark and monstrous.” I love the monster nostalgia, but there’s a lot else to explore there, too.
By the way, I do plan to review more films. I have a big stack of DVDs that I want to share with you eventually, including The Magnetic Monster, The Mole People, and The Hideous Sun Demon to name a few. So keep hanging on and enjoy the bloggers above as well as the ones featured on my sidebar.
Yours, Exclamation Mark
Thanks tons for the plug! I will have to buy you a drink.
You’re a talented reviewer and I’ve happily added “Exclamation Mark” to my links!
Thanks Mark, for pointing out these fun blogs. I found both to be very entertaining and informative. I especially liked the memorial article about Hazel Court in the Frankensteinia blog and the Topps Ugly Stickers on The Drunken Severed Head blog. I have both blogs saved in my favorites for future reference.
May I also recommend another site of the genre that I found a few years ago, but was setting dormant until just recently: Monster Kid Online Magazine. If you remember the old monster magazines of the 60s & 70s, this is the Internet equivalent. I must have had an old link to it in my favorites, because when I clicked on the link found in the Drunken Severed Head blog, I discovered a new issue. There are 6 issues to browse now, plus a special Christmas issue and 2003 Yearbook, which feature articles from “past issues.”
Mr. Severed Head: The pleasure is all mine, I’m sure. And thanks for your vote of confidence!
Paul: Yes! I love Monster Kid. I used to have a giant links page that listed all my favorite monster/sci-fi pages and Monster Kid was one I always went back to. The wallpapers are great, too. I’m particularly fond of the Creature from the Black Lagoon wallpaper. They also have some fun 3-D stuff (luckily, I have always kept at least one pair of 3-D glasses nearby). I’ll have to check out the new issue. Mark
Mark: You’re right. The desktop wallpapers are great, and they’ve added a lot of new ones. I also enjoy the 3-D pictures. It’s amazing how “Count Gamula” does it. BTW, I still have my old 3-D glasses from the mid 80s, when Son of Svengoolie showed “The Creature From the Black Lagoon” in 3-D on his Chicago TV show. I keep them on my video shelf next to the computer, so they’re always handy.
Paul: You never know when 3-D glasses are going to come in handy! I keep a pair in a tray right by my computer.
3D glasses? I wear mine all the time.
Thank you, Mark, for the Frankensteinia plug and the kind words. I’ve been a fan of your blog for a long time. Now, will you PLEASE start posting again?
Cheers!
Pierre: I just received a GIANT stack of horror/sci-fi dvds for my birthday last week. I’ve been watching them day and night as of late and I’m feeling the ol’ inspiration creeping in again! I’ll try to step up the pace here a little bit.
Mark,
miss your posts!!! looking forward to your return!
