About Me

I run Creature Corner.
I live in astoria with my girlfriend and her psychopath cat, where I subject both of them to entire nights full of gore and terror.I've probably watched more horror movies in the last month than you have in your life.

My Interests

Movies, Books, Games, Music, Sex, Food, Drinking, Smoking.

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty damn set, but we're always up for more astorians to chill with. Anything to feed my upcoming alcoholism.

Music:

Mostly Metal/Hardcore, with a healthy heaping of underground hiphop, movie and video game soundtracks. I'll listen to most anything with feeling to it- just keep Top 40 shit away from me.

Movies:

Too many to list. Horror's my shit, obviously. Just come over my house and gaze at my amazing wall of dvds...

Television:

Twilight Zone, Spaced, Lucky Louie.

Books:

Again, too many to list. Some of my faves- Richard Matheson's I Am Legend, Christopher Moore's Lamb, Katherine Dunn's Geek Love, pretty much anything by Ray Bradbury or Matheson or Moore, for that matter. As far as comics- Preacher tops my list there, with Watchmen and 100 Bullets coming in next.

Heroes:

I don't have a hero.

My Blog

NaNoWriMo!

I'm writing a novel.That's a weird thing to say, right?It's a weird story so far. I'm expanding a dream I had, and have no idea where it's going. I'm 2,557 words into it- the goal is 50,000 by the end...

Never look back, never look back- I REPEAT

Got to work today, checked my email- got messages from Robert Kurtzman (yes, of KNB) about his new film and from a production company asking for me to check out a script in exchange for a credit. It f...

It was good to hang out with my boys this weekend... I hope to have a lot more of those nights in the future. Hopefully we'll get rounds bought by comedians more often. (fucking Dov Davidoff!) Maybe B...
