Hey, Boils and Ghouls. Sorry I haven’t been around the past week. There isn’t really a good reason for my absence. I’ve just been working on some stuff that doesn’t involve the computer, and I’ve fallen behind a bit. Thank you to everyone who wrote in assuming I was dead. I’m touched.

I couldn’t let the week close out without mentioning a cool little event happening in my own backyard this weekend. While Ottawa may be the independent horror film production of Canada, in all other regards it fails miserably. Ottawa has two repertory theatres, yet in my nearly five year exile here only a small handful of genre films have been shown. I’ve been to cities one-fifth the size that have more life in them.

Well, the cats over at Drunken Master Revue have decided to remedy the situation. This Saturday night at 11:30 pm they’ll be screening a 35mm print of Night of the Comet at the Mayfair on Bank St. for five bucks. Night of the Comet is one of my formative horror experiences, as the very first Fangoria magazine I ever bought ran a story on it, and the pictures within instilled in me a lifelong love for zombies.

So, if you’re in town I highly recommend checking it out. It’s all the mid-’80s, cheerleader with a machine gun mowing down zombie action you could hope for.
