LITERAL REMAINS

Hey everyone, what’s shakin’?  I’ve been, well, I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve been kind of lazy lately.  I know, I shouldn’t be, but I’ve had so many distractions the last couple of weeks or so, I just haven’t done a darn thing.  Do any of you ever get to a state of [...]

A couple of years ago, after my grandmother passed away, my family and I were going through some of her belongings.  My grandmother was a shutterbug, she loved taking pictures.  And she kept almost any picture than happened to fall into her possession.  So it was kind of cool, despite the circumstances, to be going [...]

Is it ever too early to begin thinking of Halloween?  As I begin writing this, it is 107 days until Halloween.  Just a few days ago, a friend of mine said she wished it could be Fall all the time.  And I thought, Hells yeah!  Imagine it.  How awesome would that be? I love Autumn, [...]

Life is a highway

Hello, how is everyone?  Great.  It sure is hot out there.  What’s that you ask, how hot is it?  It’s so hot I saw two fire hydrants fighting over a dog. Moving right along… I posted a new story, ‘The Ruins In Summer’.  It’s different.  It didn’t turn out quite the way I thought it [...]

I like architecture.  Churches, houses, barns, everything else that appeals to me.  I like driving the back roads and exploring old farm houses, the old barns.  I like driving around downtown Nashville and taking in the high-rises, but also the old buildings, the ones that look wonderfully creepy.  You know those old buildings.  I even [...]

I have posted a new story over there under the short fiction, a small little narrative called ‘Loss Creek’.  It’s sort of a quasi experiment for me. One of my favorite books is The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.  Great book; if you haven’t read it, I strongly urge you to do so.  Anyway, it’s [...]

the Clive Barker fansite fights for a 145 minute Nightbreed DVD no one wants…. Or so says Wil from HorrorYearBook.  I want it.  I like Nightbreed.  I think it’s an underrated film marred by not so good acting.  Anne Bobby is the main offender.  But other than that, what is everybody’s deal with hating this [...]

It’s just occurred to me I’ve never really given any of you a proper greeting.  So, from Literal Remains, hello and welcome to our humble site.  We’re glad you stopped by.  As Count Dracula said, “Enter, and leave some of the happiness that you bring.” Don’t worry, I’m not going to suck your blood.  Yet. [...]

It seems the remake train is still going strong, and a long way from ending.  Universal and Strike Entertainment are working to redo the Tobe Hooper film The Funhouse.  The 1981 movie is about four friends who spend the night in a carnival funhouse and are offed by a killer in a Frankenstien mask.  Apparently [...]

That title is a little misleading.  It’s not exactly the truth.  I’ve never carefully rolled a zombie in paper and smoked it.  But there is something about the undead that makes me want more more MORE!  Brains are right darn tasty too.  And if you like the taste of human flesh, dude, I know a [...]

Marilyn Manson’s new album, The High End of Low, doesn’t have the bombast and vitriol of some previous albums, such as Antichrist Superstar and Holy Wood, and even though it lacks some of the vigor of Mechanical Animals, High is a good album and a great follow up to Eat Me, Drink Me. High is a [...]
