My abscence

For those who follow my “Supernatural Saturday Night” Series may wonder where I was last weekend.  I had planned to review the Carrie remake and launch my series on Sequels with the wildly popular Scream franchise from horror master mind, Wes Craven as a tie in to previous reviews of his work.

Friday afternoon while attempting to clean and move my office from one location to another (which still hasn’t been completed either) I happened to be watching the news WNOL when it was announced that Officer Taylor Segura of Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Department had been killed the night before.  I first met Taylor at Nicholls University where were apart of the last class of criminal justice students they produced.  I was one of the non-officers  and had the honor of being one of the only members of a study group that was not an active officer in some way.

I was somewhat of a wreck this past weekend and just could not give my attention to my beloved horror genre especially the scheduled appearance on Zombie Talk Radio promoting Blood Reign Literary Magazine and its December launch.  Very few things have been completed due to Taylor’s loss and I’m currently trying to play catch up.

We buried Taylor on Monday as a cherished member of the law enforcement community. 

The Unknown first “review”

Okay so Word Soup is not exactly a ‘review,’ its more of an editorial guest spot on a blog run by Horror Writer’s Association active member, Patrick Freivald.  However he chose a portion of The Unknown, book 1 in the “Terror Twins” series to dissect to provide a crisp clearer copy.

Throwback Thursday Review “Child’s Play”

I open my series on successful remakes with the cult classic Child’s Play Franchise starring Chris Sarandon, Brad Douriff, and Catherine Hicks.  Interesting how after portraying Mrs. Barclay in this movie she goes on to have a successful career as Mrs. Camden on Seventh Heaven.

Throwback Thursday “John Carpenter’s Halloween”

Throwback Thursday is a look at John Carpenter’s Halloween with how legends Stephen King and Wes Craven’s connections to it.http://www.examiner.com/review/throwback-thursday-halloween#sthash.HLAHkCKW.dpuf

Interesting morning

As we creep closer to Halloween, This True Tuesday review features an investigation done by Ed and Lorraine Warren prior to the well known events that happened in Long Island, New York at the Amityville House.  The Conjuring is a 2013 movie directed by James Wan of Insidious fame.

Now either in my rush to get this article up so that I could work on completing The Terror Twins novel 1, “The Unknown,” (complete version) several annoying things kept happening while I tried to get supplemental material and checking to see if I had the right URL for Miss Lorraine’s website, http://www.warrens.net which is the New England Society for Psychic Research.  It just seemed like something didn’t want me to get this up……but after an hour I finally have it published and ready to go.

The book pictured below is a biography of the Warrens by Gerald Brittle that former Horror Writer’s Association President and best selling author Deborah Leblanc suggested to me prior to my beginning the Terror Twins.  It sits on the shelf right next to my textbooks including Dr. June M. Pulliam’s Hooked on Horror text book she uses in her class at Louisiana State University.   http://www.examiner.com/review/true-tuesday-the-conjuring
