NEWS: I've received quite a few private messages through Facebook and Instagram congratulating me on my new podcast with
Fangoria. I have to say, it is indeed an honor to see my other blog (now in its 13th year) associated with a magazine that I've loved and collected since I was 11 years old. I mean, I can actually remember seeing
Fangoria #1 right there on the newsstand in '79! Yes, over the years I've learned a lot about the horror films I've cherished most, and one other huge medal of honor that I will forever wear proudly on my jacket came the day my comic book series,
HAUNTED HORROR, actually received a rockin' review courtesy of
Fango editor,
Svetlana Fedotov.
Fangoria is certainly an important magazine to the genre that we horror fiends all dig the best-- there is just one small problem though....
I have absolutely nothing to do with this podcast.
Anyway, best of luck to them. I do hope my blog name helps with their hits, just as I hope random google searches for their podcast brings new visitors over to
THOIA, and possibly even here to
AEET.
And that's about all I'm ever going to say about any of this... seriously.
What is it with everybody wanting to do a podcast all of a sudden, anyway? I mean, this is like the weirdest coronavirus side-effect in the world: That everybody in isolation automatically wants to become some kind of deejay. Seriously, like five or six of my friends are doing it--jawing on and on about sitting at home. I don't want to sound judgemental. Whatever you gotta do to get through the day, man. This world is scary as hell right now. And this particular reaction is certainly better than armed punks marauding in the wastelands, or whatever. I'm actually glad the apocalypse is more Pump Up the Volume than 1990: Bronx Warriors so far. But I would not have predicted it.
ReplyDeletehaha... well if this podcast stays consistent with the tepid topics they've chosen to yap about on social media so far, (see my comment at THOIA) it's sure to be a miserable failure. Fangoria fans deserve more than that, I think...
ReplyDeleteMr.K. and Mr.C. it certainly is a strange/unique time in our lives. Everyone who is outside has their faces obscured. Air in cities clearing. Grocery store occupation limits. Man arrested for playing t-ball with daughter in park. The paranoid are having a field day, but I hope this quarantine is going to curb this "thing". We do not need the horror of it all! But we love THOIA!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks JMB! :)
