Every week, Steve over at The Horror Blog does a roundtable where he asks a horror-related question that a bunch of us geeks pontificate on. This past week he asked us to name our favourite opening credit sequence in a horror film. I went with the first one that came to mind: the Dawn of [...]

…Rue Morgue‘s resident superhero Feedback! Who knew he’d look so commanding with a clean-shaven face and a leather jumpsuit? Of course, we all know what Feedback’s super power is: he’s able to defend any Quentin Tarantino movie in a single bound.

This morning we arrived at the office to discover the whole street and sidewalk in front of our workplace littered with garlic cloves. I’m sure none of you need me to explain why we found this so damned amusing.

As you may have noticed, Iâ€™ve been rather absent from the Abattoir as of late. And, as mentioned in Garyâ€™s much-appreciated birthday post, I was back in Alberta recently shooting a short film, called Fallow (specifics on what it’s about below), so between May/June pre-production in my off hours on that, the ten days of [...]
