James Fisher, artist and creator of the witty and morbidly fantastic Disfigures of Speech that appears in each issue of Rue Morgue, is having a cool little contest. Come up with a caption to the drawing he’s posted and you could win a print with your caption as the title. Only five days left to [...]
Just came across this image of the Spierig Brothers on the set of their new film Daybreakers and look at that! Michael is wearing an old school Gore-Met/Rue Morgue shirt. That shirt design must be close to ten years old and it really took me back… crazy! And go see the film when it hits [...]
As a footnote to Dave’s post below with director Oren Peli, here’s a little radio interview I do every year with my friends at 1031 Fresh FM in London, Ontario. Every halloween I’m asked to pick my favourite films of the year and Paranormal Activity is at the top of the heap. Click the link [...]
Last weekend while at the Festival of Fear, illustrator Jason Edmiston dropped by my booth and left a postcard with a sample of his artwork. The monster cereal mash-up illustration stared back at me and I immediately felt a rush of nostalgia and artistic envy. The concept is brilliant: merging the real actors with the [...]
The Creepshow have been extended family members with Rue Morgue for quite some time. We’ve watched them grow from a band playing to an audience of 100 people to a band that plays to a crowd of 2000, (if anyone was there when they opened for Rancid last year, you know exactly what I’m talking [...]

Happy Birthday Dave! We thought you should know your twin brother dropped in to help out while you’ve been gone. He didn’t really say much when he arrived, just mumbled something about “how long of a walk it is from Tillsonburg” and ‘How expensive the Junction massage parlor is”. Thanks for mentioning you even had a [...]
I’ve just returned from L.A. where Rue Morgue attended the Forrest J Ackerman tribute as well as jamming in as much fun in the sun as we could in four days. I’m a bit jet-lagged so I’ll keep it brief. The speeches were excellent. Ray Bradbury (who recieved a standing ovation), John Landis (animated and [...]
Gregg Dunning, the son of John Dunning, producer of the 1981 Canuck slasher My Bloody Valentine, is looking to unload the “human shower head” special FX prop from the film. For a gal that’s been in the basement for 28 years, she’s in pretty good shape. I’m just waiting for the inevitable bidding war between [...]
