We Eat Scabs

It’s always struck me that the one thing unions never attempt is a little ol’ time religion. Over 65 horror writers staged an exorcism yesterday at the Warner Bros. studio lot as part of the WGA strike, many of them wearing t-shirts that proclaimed “Horror Writers on Strike — We Eat Scabs”. The attendees included such luminaries as comic writer Steve Niles, Masters of Horror creator Mick Garris and was organized by 70s remake specialist Scott Kosar. There are many more pictures and comments at the link, including the startling fact that in the first 10 months of 2007 horror DVDs accounted for over 450 million dollars gross. I wonder if that’s worldwide or domestic.
