PLUGS!

- Alex seems to have had quite a bit of fun with THE VAMPIRE LOVERS. Exotic horror, huh?

- Julio confirms that CHERNOBYL is as good as the hype would have you believe.

- As usual during this time of the year, it’s time to start getting ready for the OTHER WORLDS AUSTIN SCI-FI FILM FESTIVAL! If you can be in Austin on December 5-8, you should get a badge and meet Alex and Julio over there!

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at [email protected] in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú.

Up next, we’ll take a look at a more recent Texas chainsaw massacre, the one perpetrated by Marcus Nispel and Michael Bay in 2003! Until then, let us know how you feel about the original Leatherface’s adventures! Do you find him underwhelming, or has he scared you away from the South forever? Is his family terrifying or just weird? E-mail us at [email protected] or tweet at us or facebook us and share your thoughts!
