Dr. Gangrene's Tales from Parts Unknown

Greetings Fright Fans!

Wanted to take a minute to announce a new project I'm kicking off in just a couple of weeks - DR. GANGRENE'S TALES FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, a collection of 14 stories of the weird, strange, and macabre, all written by the good doctor's alter-ego, Larry Underwood. The stories range in theme from the Weird Wild West to the far-flung future, and everything in-between, and are all introduced by Dr. Gangrene.

The book features a cover by Rondo Award Hall of Fame artist Dennis Vincent, and interior illustrations by Rondo Award winning artist William C. Cope.

Watch for more details coming soon. Debuting February 22nd.

Any bloggers or reviewers would like an early copy for review, contact the doc at drgangrene@hotmail.com.

Henrique Couto's Scarewaves

Indy director Henrique Couto, (who I interviewed a couple months back), has a new film coming out this fall that I want to tell you folks about. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a big fan of horror anthology films, and Henrique shot an anthology film called SCAREWAVES that is set to be released on DVD October 27th.

I have a copy of this film, and it is a fun-filled throwback to films such as CREEPSHOW and TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE. In fact, it especially reminded me of Creepshow, one of my top 10 all-time favorite films, with the bright blue and red comic-book influenced lighting that floods the scenery throughout the film.

The wrap around segments are particularly clever. A radio DJ named Amos Satan is on the air for his final broadcast. In place of his regular show, he decides to regale the listeners with a series of true terror tales. 



 
Check out the Scarewaves Facebook page for more info, and how to order a copy for yourself.

Doors open at 7:30 and an introduction by Henrique at 8:00. Admission $5.
