I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

If I ever got famous enough to put my name on a brand, instead of liquor, I'd probably go with a line of dark mustards.

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

Always found it moving that Drew Struzan used himself as a model for much of his Indiana Jones work. In the most literal sense, he was as much a star as the faces he painted. He didn't just sell movies, he taught me how to dream about them.

Funny thing is the original version built in 1990 was the world's largest and then the CityWalk version they replaced it with in 1999 took the crown.

Psycho IV: The Beginning was shot at Universal Studios Florida, meaning this is as high as the camera could tilt without getting the world's largest Hard Rock Café in frame.

You can clock how badly Burt Reynolds's career was going at any given moment by how much his toupee looks like dry ramen.

Gonna open an art gallery but it’s just all of the old fake movie posters from Chuck E. Cheese.

Chuck E. Cheese parody movie posters for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, BATMAN, BEETLEJUICE, BEVERLY HILLS COP, GONE WITH THE WIND, JAWS, TOOTSIE, THE WIZARD OF OZ and CROCODILE DUNDEE.

As we put the finishing touches on Blood & Rust and gear up for a festival run, it's finally time to start spreading the word. Writers, podcasters, and the plain curious - if you're interested, get in touch and we can talk turkey/vampires.
