I recommend the entirety of the late '80s/early '90s horror anthology series MONSTERS, but if you just had to watch one episode for Halloween, I'd go with "The Match Game". 🔥

My words about this episode.

‘The Match Game’ – Add This Creepy ‘Monsters’ Episode to Your Halloween Watchlist

Dedication post to PBS alumni storytellers John Robbins, Paul Lally, and Rae Owings. It was their shows on the tube television mounted on the rolling AV cart in the grade school library that sparked my love for stories in all mediums.

Definitely kiddie fare in execution but the perfect gateway for future horror book nerds like myself. And those Stephen Gammell illustrations are legendary!

Of course, I’m demented to think taking a header out of a high-rise window in dramatic fashion is funny, but this is one you’ll have to try on for yourself. I mean, read the story, not take a header out the window.

It’s called “The Man Who Feared Masks.”

I read Joseph Payne Brennan’s collection of horror stories SCREAM AT MIDNIGHT (1963) and realized he often employed ironic twist (or would that be twisted?) endings to his stories. One of those stories had what I considered a comical ending...

Rationale: Why waste time on things I don’t like when I can spend that same time sharing the joy I found so others might do the same? You’ll know when I don’t like a movie or book or other because I never talk about it. No comment thank you very much. But let me tell you about something I love…

Q: Why do you mostly post about things you like?

A: I’m not a reviewer. I’m a recommender.

Once again releasing into the wild the fact that if you invite me to talk on a podcast about almost anything I will show up and show out. Not math, but otherwise.

It’s officially Ray Bradbury season. Go read his collection of stories THE OCTOBER COUNTRY and, of course, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

Here is the legend, sometime in the late 80s, inside his office, which I like to describe as a Bernie Wrightson masterpiece of art.
