Back from Monsterama!

After the show, I enjoy a relaxing Jack and Ginger outside...

It was a fabulous weekend in Atlanta at Sinbad and the Eye of Monsterama. On behalf of all those who attended with me, I want to thank the guests, the fans, and the convention staff for a wonderful time.

Here's a photo round up!

Arrived!

Come See Me at Fantasci this Saturday

I'll be speaking at the Fantasci Tenth Anniversary Convention in Chesapeake, Virginia, this Saturday morning, and I hope to see some readers there.  

I go on at 10:30 am to give a talk I call "The Horror Genome Project," about the horror films of the 1990s.  The premise is basically that genetic science is to horror films of the nineties (like Mimic, Deep Blue Sea, Jurassic Park, X-Files: Fight the Future, etc.) what the atomic bomb was to horror films of the fifties: a galvanizing theme and a reflection of fears about science (and scientists) run amok.

Check out the link to the party, here, and if you happen to be close-by, come and see me and watch the presentation!  I plan to attend the con from 9:00 to noon, or thereabouts and would love to say hello.

I’m really looking forward to being back at Fantasci.  It was at this show, five years ago, where I premiered my web series, The House Between (2007 – 2009), which I hope to have fully available – all 21 episodes, newly re-edited – on DVD and streaming soon.

And remember, if you work at a University or for a convention that would like to have me speak (or deliver one of my seminars, like "Savage Cinema,") contact me at Muirbusiness@yahoo.com and we'll see what we can work out.

Don't Forget the Mad Monster Party

One more heads-up before the show: If you're in Charlotte N.C. (or thereabouts), come see me at The Mad Monster Party this weekend.  I'll be selling books, meeting fans, and making trouble.

Well, not the last part...

Hopefully, I'll get the chance to take some pictures and upload them to the blog.
