This is what horror blogging does to me. I spend so much time writing that I have far less time to watch, read or listen. My movie consumption has decreased to the point that my purchases are at a 2-to-1 ratio with what I actually sit down and watch. My beloved reading hammock swings lonely on my balcony. And I haven’t listened to a soundtrack album in ages.

I’m hoping other bloggers can relate to the above. I also hope that they can relate to those glorious moments when something stops the downward spiral and demands your attention, pushing self-imposed deadlines out of your head if only for a moment. This was the case when I stumbled across Rick Trembles’ Motion Picture Purgatory Radio Show while looking for information on the film Neighbourhood Watch. Maybe stumbled isn’t the right word. I’ve been reading Trembles’ comic strip for years, and I’ve been aware of his podcast for months. It wasn’t until I was forced to sit down and listen to an episode for the sake of research that I realized what I was missing.

The most recent episode was particularly engaging as Trembles sits down with FAB Press owner Harvey Fenton and Fangoria associate editor Michael Gingold to discuss the golden age of horror ‘zines. If you’re like me, and you can’t shake that nostalgic feeling for the days when horror fandom required blood, sweat and staples, be sure to check it out.
