Lots of zombies, lots of clowns, lots of zombie clowns…

Halloween Horrors: 2020 Transworld Animatronics Show
Saturday, October 3rd, 2020Halloween Horrors: The Pedophile Living In Your Daughter’s Closet
Friday, October 2nd, 2020Remember the spider man of Denver and the Japanese woman that secretly lived in a man’s cabinet for a year without him knowing?
Well, the wackiest state in the union manages to one up that one:
A Louisiana man has been arrested after a 15-year-old Florida girl’s parents found he had been living in their daughter’s bedroom closet for more than a month after he met the teen online two years ago and traveled to meet her for sex.
Jonathan Rossmoine, 36, was arrested and charged with multiple sex crimes Sunday after the child’s parents learned he had been secretly living in her bedroom at their family home in Spring Hill, Hernando County.
Rossmoine allegedly confessed to traveling from Louisiana to Florida on multiple occasions to have sex with the child, who described the 36-year-old as her boyfriend.
Police said he then moved into the girl’s room in August, where he would hide out from her parents in the closet and emerge when they left the house.
Even creepier: It’s not the first time this sort of thing has happened, a father found a 42-year old man hiding in his 12-year old daughter’s closet:

So they next time your children ask you to check their closet for monsters, remember that there are some in human form…
Shoegazer Sunday: The City’s Gates’ “On The Road”
Sunday, September 20th, 2020“On the Road” sort sounds like Slowdive crossed with a touch of Mazzy Star, which sounds like a winning combination.

Shoegazer Sunday: The Telewire’s “Head on Straight”
Sunday, July 12th, 2020Been a long time since I featured something from The Telewire, but “Head on Straioght” is part of my regular Shoegaze rotation.
Would You Believe William Shatner As Archie Goodwin?
Friday, April 17th, 2020Seeing is believing:
That’s the unsold pilot for a 1959 Nero Wolfe TV show, with Shatner as Goodwin and Kurt Kasznar (probably known best, most unfairly, for a role in Land of the Giants) as Wolfe.
I could definitely see myself watching this on METV…

Interviews with Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy on MST3K
Thursday, March 12th, 2020I came across these interviews of Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy from Mystery Science Theater 3000. These were evidently an extra on Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders from Volume 5 of the Rhino boxed sets (and presumably on the Shout! Factory reissue). Talks about the early days of the show and some of the films too awful for them to riff.
Shoegazer Sunday: Sara Rachele Covers “Fade Into You”
Sunday, March 1st, 2020I’d never heard Sara Rachele before I went looking for covers of “Fade Into You.” She’s good enough to provide a close approximation of Hope Sandoval’s voice. The arrangement is more sparse and lonely than the Mazzy Star original, accentuating the sad, twangy, “coming home from a honky tonk alone at 3 AM” vibe of the song.
