My new blog is up on Rue Morgue. I finally caught up with the author of the Halloween novelization, Richard Curtis! (Did you know a fully illustrated version of the novel was rereleased a couple years ago? I didn’t either!)

I was on this episode! I had so much fun! Thank you, Hysterical Continues!!!

Film producer Sam Sherman passed away on Monday. Sam was great. He called me out of the blue one day, “Rob Freese? This is Sam Sherman, president of I-IP.” I always loved talking to him. I was on the editorial team who helped put his book, “When Dracula Met Frankenstein” together. Rest now, sir.

“Rob, what exactly do you do at the library?” Well, I show awesome movies and remind people how much fun you can have going to movies. I also concoct cheap gimmicks for the movies I show. Tomorrow is Dana Cannon’s Moving Violations scratch off game. 27% accurate- if you drive a puppet stage.

The trailer for Spandexorcist is available!!! I wrote this!!! youtu.be/4kS7aqvS798

I don’t tend to post about flicks I snag for my collection, but I picked up this set for practically nothing. (A couple are still sealed.) I recently learned about this series from my favorite slasher movie podcast, The Hysteria Continues. Funny how life works sometimes. Matron, please!

I had an awesome time talking to Justin, Erik, Joseph and Nathan today about Drive-in Massacre for an upcoming episode The Hysteria Continues! podcast. Now for something a little less slashery.

My new piece, an interview with legendary screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti and his work with Mario Bava, is available now at Rue Morgue. This piece covers Shock, when it was originally written and how it was eventually changed, and ends with the never made sci-fi horror Anomaly…and Roger Corman!

Cody Hamman’s kind words regarding my slasher book!

Thank you to everyone who has picked up the slasher book! I appreciate your support more than you know. My copy arrived and there were some opportunities to make it better. I’m addressing them. If your book arrives with my name and title in red, that book is no longer available. -White is corrected.

Golden Age Slasher novelization specialist Armando Muñoz weighs in on The All-Night Video Guide: Slashers 70’s & 80’s!

Just had the great pleasure of interviewing Rich Koz (a.k.a. Horror host Svengoolie) for the upcoming Halloween issue of Videoscope!

I have to say, I’ve spent many years knocking out words, but to write a script and it starts shooting, and you see your creation brought to life, it’s pretty amazing! This is Ellen Mildred as Penny Patterson in Spandexocist. Prince Binky is her emotional support puppet. Brett Kelly is directing!
