This Ain't Even My Final Form! (And the final countdown for Halloween)

Greetings, boys and ghouls!

     Optiluiz here on this fine random day of the week! I won't bother commenting on our late posts anymore, though I guess it's good that we don't give up on posting, even when life gets in the way! But in any case, Halloween is almost upon is, my friends, so why don't we all prepare for this most frightful holiday? (And by the way, I totally rock as a shoggoth/alien from "The Thing" in the comic).

     This has been a very interesting October for myself, and part of that is due to my published stories. This past week another spooky tale of mine, "Neighborhood Watch", showed up on Saturday Night Reader! I hope you all take a few moments to visit this wonderful site and read the new story and enjoy the rain! And don't forget, on All Hallow's Eve my latest scary story will also be on the site! Now here's a picture of some of my Halloween stuff to get us in the mood...

     So, these past few weeks I've been reading Stephen King's Night Shift to get in the Samhain spirit, and it's totally been worth it. I've never actually read his short stories before, and the quality of these was a real surprise. King's always been an inspiration of mine, and as a fellow short-story author, I respect him even more now. (Especially after the story about sentient toy army-men!). As I've said before, I've also been watching Fear Itself, and I don't regret a minute of it. So far my favourite episode is Eater, by Stuart Gordon (the director of Dagon!), but I'm sure the best is yet to come.

     I think that's all for today, as I still have to deal with some writing issues and prepare the coming week's last Halloween review! I can only promise you it'll be a... revving good time! Also, wish me luck on my Jason costume for Friday's party. I hope you enjoyed this week's post, and that you all have a great week! I'll leave you with the intro to Fear Itself, featuring the song "Lie lie lie" (which is still playing inside my head as I write this).

Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.

(5 days 'till Halloween)

PS: If you guys haven't checked out the much-belated Director's Cut of Clive Barker's "Nightbreed", do so right now!

PSS: Sorry for the bad quality picture, I'm using a spare phone since my good one with the decent camera died on me.

PSSS: Yes, that is a Sam bookmark from Trick'r'Treat sticking out of Night Shift.

Sex Jokes and Creepy Stuff!

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

     Optiluiz here again, and I won't even bother justifying the late post. It is what it is. Anyway, I'd just like to remind you all that the chainsaw is and always will be our tool of choice for just about any task, even shaving. And I guess we really haven't made any sex or rape jokes since we started the blog four years ago, which is weird 'cus we were both teenagers back then. Go figure.

     So, Max and I have been discussing our video plans, which haven't come to fruition since 2010. However, this time I believe we've finally decided on a project so insanely easy and fun that we'll have no choice but to go through with it. It's actually about true creepy stories regarding my Grandma's house, where I used to live. We'll discuss it further in another post. Now onto something else entirely...



     My copy of Stephen King's Desperation finally came in the mail today! I really fucking love old books like this (and especially Stephen King, whose books I haven't read in years), and I actually don't have much choice because finding good (not to mention cheap) english books in Brazil is quite the challenge. And as a bonus, they actually refunded my money because of the book's overall oldish appearance. I wouldn't have minded paying full price, but I'm still happy, more money for Magic! I guess now I can start getting over the end of The Book Of The New Sun.

     Also, Max and I finally got to watch another movie, and will be gifting you guys with another review soon! This time, the victim of choice is 2005's horror film Reeker! We had a blast watching and commenting on it, so I hope you guys enjoy it too. But we'll leave that for another time. For now, I'll leave you with a creepy video (I've been watching quite a bit of paranormal related stuff on youtube, actually). I hope you all have a nice weekend, and stay awesome!



Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out!

PS: I finally fixed the scanner and our posts shall not be late anymore! Well, at least not for that reason.

PPS: I just found out that I'm getting published again! Once the story is up I'll link it here on the blog for you guys!
