Editor’s Greeting for October 2023

Greetings Horror Fanatics, welcome to our favorite month, celebrating the 6^th anniversary not only for this site but overall, it is an action packed month. Therefore, let’s begin with a few interesting pieces, in fact one of them is occurring as I write this greeting, we are restarting the podcast shows, all of them, finally medical clearance; I am building a Screaming Horror show #19, as well as a Sinister Death show, the most I can air in one day is 3 shows at 3-hours in length. Hence the backlogged of Visions of Horror weekly was so far behind the decision was made the site owner to fresh start in October and get the Visions column done instead. I’m hoping to release more reviews in multiple headings on the site, so thanks for all the support.

As Halloween quickly approaches and the fanatics hunt for those perfect items to turn their homes into gothic paradises, don’t forget to get your Monster Cereals, as should know I get them Count Chocula, Franken Berry, Boo Berry and Monster Mash though must not omit Scary Cap’n Crunch and Resse Puffs: Bats, yeah unusual. Then please remember to visit the numerous mom-n-pop stores out there, such as Frankenstein Comics or Second Time Books (in southern NJ), yep a used bookstore these kinds of places have lots to offer to horror fans, jut have to be willing to physically go there and hunt for the horror. Then as I always say the antique shops, yeah Spirit is great, but the product you get there is bought by another 10,000 people maybe more by those antique places, with 100s of dealers they know the season and have precious treasures, that maybe only 50 people still own.

Saw X did a creative marketing ploy for its release besides the vomit bag they sold quality tin buckets for popcorn and a large plastic for a drink cup with a Billy figurine on the top, as see below, I think they took the this from Scream VI and that was from the merchandising from the fictitious flick Stab; either way great job! Many have asked me when I am releasing The Exorcist [1973] review that shall be in in December as well as a detail Q&A as many new young horror fans watched the film for reactions but heavily layered the videos with questions and other had insulting rude comments, which prompting the viewers to release barrage of harsh criticism.

Lastly, while I am not on the fest/con circuit, I’m staying informed and filmmakers are still seeking me out from around the world, Monoglia, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, the UK it is a humbling moment, which I thank you all for, I’m looking forward to returning next year. I’m already starting to return to roaming the cemeteries and looking forward to finding and meeting many of you horror folks.
