Happy 40th anniversary to Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI. As a young teen into heavy metal, I totally connected with this hard rock sequel. Jason Lives would also be the biggest midnight show I hosted at the Nuart. A toast to Tommy McLoughlin for giving Jason eternal life.
Fangoria Friday - April 8, 1989. My pictures from the Hellbound: Hellraiser II panel at Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors in LA, featuring star Doug Bradley, director Tony Randel, and host Tony Timpone. Time to play.
Tonight, "Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders", the latest feature documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz, will have its Los Angeles premiere at OutfestNEXT. See the shocking true story behind one of the most controversial films ever made. I hope to see many familiar faces there!
A flyer I removed from a telephone pole for an iconic L7 show I saw at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, April 5, 1993. I also caught L7 on October 22, 1999 at RKCNDY in Seattle, right before that legendary rock club closed its doors on October 31st. In memory of L7’s Jennifer Finch.
Back at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for Tommy McLoughlin’s Annual Crypt-Warming, where I found Santa Claus. Happy birthday, Tommy!
They should have called that Evil Dead ROCKS. A concert of carnage and heavy metal horror.
I’m excited to dive into this gorgeous official novelization of Slaughter High by Caleb James Pecue. Remove the hardcover’s dust jacket and it looks like a Doddsville County High yearbook! A stellar release from Terrorcore Publishing. It’s time for a class reunion… with Marty!
I can think of no American film that captures our country at this moment of the semiquincentennial better than this. Happy 4th of July.
Cruise with us on Saturday July 25 when "Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders" has its LA Premiere at OutfestNEXT! Tickets are now on sale to the general public. I'm one of the interviewees in this latest feature documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz ("I Am Divine", "Vito", "The Fabulous Allan Carr").
Taking in the words and wisdom of these maverick artists I’ve been following for decades. Learning from the best.
Back for one last ride with the gang for Jackass: Best and Last. I give it five dicks, balls and buttholes.
I was thrilled to see Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew rolled by in the West Hollywood Pride Parade earlier this month. They were clearly having a blast, and I appreciate their longtime allyship with the community. I’ll return the love and show up when Jackass: Best and Last opens next week.

A couple of fifty somethings at Rush Fifty Something, June 9, 2026. From the second show of their reunion tour at the Kia Forum.
I was too young to visit Mineshaft when it was in operation, but its reputation in the gay community is legendary. Find out how I connect to the establishment’s legacy in Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders, the latest documentary from Jeffrey Schwarz, premiering this weekend at Tribeca Film Festival.

Remembering my friend Anthony Hickox with Waxwork on 35mm at midnight at New Beverly Cinema.
Unleashed into the world this week, it’s Nos plus beaux effets, the latest collection from Editions Faute de frappe. Featuring my short story Face Mask, along with stories by Joe R. Lansdale, Lamberto Bava, Edward Lee, Alan Shivers, Duncan Ralston, and many more.
Happy birthday to Happy Birthday to Me, released on this day 45 years ago. I've adored this quirky Canadian slasher film since the ‘80s, and it was an honor to write the official novelization for Cinepix in 2024. Hopefully the book will get a second printing in the near future. Time to cut the cake.
