Remembering Screaming Mad George, who I saw at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in L.A. in 1989. I'm glad I had an opportunity to meet this legendary surrealist, whose work in the movie, music and art worlds was unparalleled. His joy and enthusiasm were infectious.

DJ Pervula performed a set within John Carpenter’s Cathedral last night at virtual club Dance, Darklings.

Who else has entered John Carpenter’s Cathedral? The latest heavy metal album and graphic novel combo has me hoping that Carpenter will tour for it, and that someone will fund a film version. I’ll be playing tracks from Cathedral during my Carpenter themed set tonight at 11pm for Dance, Darklings.

Reggie Bannister and his wife Gigi were friends of the Shriekfest Horror Film Festival. You’d frequently see them at festival events and presenting at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony. I’ll always remember Reggie getting on the dance floor to boogied as I DJed the Opening Night Party at Boardners.

Remembering Reggie Bannister. I had the pleasure of hosting a Q&A with Reggie and his wife Gigi Bannister on January 26, 2018 at the Nuart Theatre before Phantasm. Yes, he was as wonderful as everyone says. Reggie liked the tombstone I made, and I let him keep it. Rest in peace, Reggie.

Thank you Dark Delicacies for inviting me to sign this weekend at Midsummer Scream alongside the esteemed Peter Atkins, and thank you to everyone who stopped by.

I hope to see many familiar faces at Midsummer Scream. I'll be at the Dark Delicacies booth on Sunday August 9 from 12-3pm signing my novelization of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT alongside author Peter Atkins, who will be signing his HELLRAISER: BLOODLINE screenplay and the novelization of WISHMASTER.

I need a vacation.

I'm easy to spot in the new documentary "Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders". Just look through the glory hole.

Happy 40th anniversary to Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI. As a young teen into heavy metal, I totally connected with this hard rock sequel. Jason Lives would also be the biggest midnight show I hosted at the Nuart. A toast to Tommy McLoughlin for giving Jason eternal life.

Fangoria Friday - April 8, 1989. My pictures from the Hellbound: Hellraiser II panel at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in LA, featuring star Doug Bradley, director Tony Randel, and host Tony Timpone. Time to play.

Tonight, "Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders", the latest feature documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz, will have its Los Angeles premiere at OutfestNEXT. See the shocking true story behind one of the most controversial films ever made. I hope to see many familiar faces there!

Flashback to 1999 - Flexing for the new millennium.

A flyer I removed from a telephone pole for an iconic L7 show I saw at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, April 5, 1993. I also caught L7 on October 22, 1999 at RKCNDY in Seattle, right before that legendary rock club closed its doors on October 31st. In memory of L7’s Jennifer Finch.

Back at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for Tommy McLoughlin’s Annual Crypt-Warming, where I found Santa Claus. Happy birthday, Tommy!

Fangoria Friday - It’s the latest issue of Fangoria, Vol. 2 #34, which arrived the day before Evil Dead Burn was released. A look back at Evil Dead films possessing the cover over the decades, #23, #63, #115.

They should have called that Evil Dead ROCKS. A concert of carnage and heavy metal horror.

I’m excited to dive into this gorgeous official novelization of Slaughter High by Caleb James Pecue. Remove the hardcover’s dust jacket and it looks like a Doddsville County High yearbook! A stellar release from Terrorcore Publishing. It’s time for a class reunion… with Marty!

I can think of no American film that captures our country at this moment of the semiquincentennial better than this. Happy 4th of July.

Cruise with us on Saturday July 25 when "Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders" has its LA Premiere at OutfestNEXT! Tickets are now on sale to the general public. I'm one of the interviewees in this latest feature documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz ("I Am Divine", "Vito", "The Fabulous Allan Carr").

Taking in the words and wisdom of these maverick artists I’ve been following for decades. Learning from the best.

Back for one last ride with the gang for Jackass: Best and Last. I give it five dicks, balls and buttholes.

Spending the longest day of the year like this.

I was thrilled to see Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew rolled by in the West Hollywood Pride Parade earlier this month. They were clearly having a blast, and I appreciate their longtime allyship with the community. I’ll return the love and show up when Jackass: Best and Last opens next week.

DJ Pervula brought the Rush arena rock show experience to livestream last night at Dance, Darklings.

A couple of fifty somethings at Rush Fifty Something, June 9, 2026. From the second show of their reunion tour at the Kia Forum.

I was too young to visit Mineshaft when it was in operation, but its reputation in the gay community is legendary. Find out how I connect to the establishment’s legacy in Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders, the latest documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz, premiering this weekend at Tribeca Film Festival.

Check out the First Look at Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders today at Deadline. Catch the latest documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz, which has its World Premiere this weekend at Tribeca Festival. I'm one of the featured interviews in this film. deadline.com/2026/06/mine...
