Another 31 Nights of Halloween!

Terror Titans shambles back from the grave tomorrow night for the 5th annual 31 Nights of Halloween short film festival. Stop by every night in October for a morsel of horror designed to get you in the mood for the Big Night on the 31st! (There may also be a few surprise film reviews for old time's sake!)

Every day at 4:44pm (Pacific Time, in the U.S.) there will be at least one new post here until Halloween. Some days, there will be several! And if you want even more Halloweenish content, swing by the Shades of Gray blog for horror line-art every Wednesday, as well as reviews of a spooky film or two.

Starting Tomorrow: 31 Nights of Halloween!

Tomorrow ushers in another 31 Nights of Halloween here at Terror Titans!

If this is your first time here, this is an annual tradition where I kinda-sorta resurrect what was once my horror movie review blog by posting horror short films (15 minutes or less) with commentary and ratings. Mondays are reserved for music videos and Saturdays may or may not feature a profile of a horror movie actress, reviving the Saturday Scream Queen feature that was once so popular in these parts. Fridays will also feature a bonus post (the Fear-Filled Phantasms series) spotlighting the work of an artist whom excels at Halloweenish horror fun.

I hope you'll swing by each and every day to bolster your Halloween spirit and get ready for the big night!

'31 Nights of Halloween' mini-film festival to return again this year!

The days are getting shorter, and soon Halloween will be here... and the 31 Nights of Halloween will once again herald its arrival.

One month from today, Terror Titans will shamble back to life with 31 short horror films that can be viewed right here on the blog, to help you get in the mood for the Big Day. No film will be longer than 15 minutes, and the majority will be shorter than 10 or even 5.

I hope to see you all back here every evening in October! (And you can click here to check out the selections from previous years.)

And if you know of a short film I should share during the 31 Nights of Halloween, get in touch!

Many of the books I've edited are on sale for 15% - 20% off!

For the rest of this week, many of the horror anthologies I've edited or written for NUELOW Games for  are discounted between 15% and 20% through September 30, 2015. If you like comics, horror fiction, or d20 System roleplaying games, one or more of these books will have something you'll enjoy.

Many of the projects I've produced for NUELOW Games collect great stories that have sat forgotten for 70 or more years while the world fawned over the likes of Superman and Batman. In fact, many of them have never been reprinted before, nor collected in a single volume. Check them out... but make sure you keep a light on as you read, because the glow of the iPad or Kindle screen only makes the shadows around you seem deeper.

You can click here to a listing of all the books that are available...

Here are a few of the covers.

Contest: Win Five Free Movies (and lend a hand!)

I have a problem. I have a photo for use in a future "Saturday Scream Queen" feature (I think), but I didn't put her name in the file's name, and I have no idea who the actress is at this point. Does anyone out there recognize her?

The first person to tell me who is either via a Facebook reply or in a reply to this post (along with a film credit so I can verify her ID) will be awarded five DVDs from my stack of viewed screeners.

Here's the mystery woman:

No posts on any of my blogs this week.

I am having really bad eye trouble. Hopefully, tomorrow's trip to the doctor will start to make things better.

I hope you'll check in at some point in the future.

Donating to Project Gutenberg in honor of Michael S. Hart

Tonight, I learned that Michael S. Hart, inventor of the e-book and founder of Project Gutenberg, passed away on September 6.

As I mentioned in the obit post at Cinema Steve, I will donate all my earnings on sales of "From Dark Corners: Thirteen Unusual Tales from Famous Authors" from now until September 21 to Project Gutenberg, in honor of his memory.

So, if you like horror fiction, here's an opportunity to get yourself a collection of some of my favorites AND give money to a good cause. Please click here to get a copy and help me donate to Project Gutenberg.

And please help me spread the word about this little effort with announcements in your own blogs, if you would be so kind.
