The original Python (2000) was an OK giant-snake flick, cheap and made by a first-time director, but not without merit -- it had some good giant-snake scenes and generated decent levels of suspense. The plot was a paranoid body-count exercise, of course, seguing into desperate attempts on the part of the main characters to kill the titular genetically enhanced CGI perp. WATCH ME INTERVIEW WITH SAM VOUTAS Watch Me (Australia-2006, dir. Melanie Ansley). Watch Me is a new Australian ghost movie, directed by Melanie Ansley and starring Frances Marrington, Sam Voutas and Tanya McHenry. It follows in the aesthetic tradition of films such as the Japanese Ring, Ju-On: the Grudge, Dark Water and Kairö.It tells the story of a film-school student caught up in a supernatural infection spread via email SERPENT LAKE INTERVIEW WITH JOEL TRUJILLO There is a long-running tradition of lake monsters, both in local legend and on film. Deep, dark waters seem to spark the imagination; stories of monstrous aquatic fauna go way back and have surfaced in every part of the world wherever such lakes occur. INTERVIEW-BRIAN LONANO Attackazoids! is a short SF film that offers a 7-minute, impressionistic glimpse into a world invaded by an army of giant war machines. Its clear, well-imagined visuals and tight direction go a long way toward suggesting much more than the running time can directly depict on screen.

No, not the Mesopotamian DEMON OF THE WINDS (see _The Exorcist _films), but one of my three cats. He _can_ be demonic, but in a cutely vicious feline way. _Photo by Cat Sparks ._ Sadly, Pazuzu (the cat) died of heart failure on September 17, 2018. He lived with us for 16 years, which was all his life. I miss himdeeply.
Scene with Pazuzu from THE EXORCIST Wikipedia entry for Pazuzu (the demon, not the cat). Handsome, isn't he!QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
"ANYONE WHO'S EVER WORKED IN MOVIES KNOWS THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE MAKING FILMS IS IN A HORROR FILM. DRAMAS ARE BORING AND COMEDIES ARE HARD, BUT HORROR FILMS - THE MINUTE ANYONE BRINGS OUT KNIVES AND BLOOD AND RUBBER, EVERYONE'S GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME."JOHN CARPENTER

What's cooking? That burnt-toast smell is probably coming from the horror novel I've been writing for over three years now. The lingering scent of succulent herbs and automotive oil is the makings of a cyber-punk SF novel that I may or may not complete. The crusty bread odour comes from the short stories sitting in the scone tray. Anyway, sit back and breathe in the aromas of creative toil. "WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SURROUNDED BY TERROR AND BY THE BEAUTY THAT IS AN INSEPARABLE PART OF IT."JOSEF SKVORECKY

FAQS
To save time, I've cobbled together a variety of popular questions and answered them here for you. Should your particular query be absent, however, feel free to email me at the address provided below. Your interest will probably be enough for me to classify it as 'frequentlyasked'.
BIOGRAPHY
This is where I reveal sadly uncontroversial information about my past. I've tried to keep the fiction out of this bit, and I've mostlysucceeded.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
This is as complete a list of my written works as I can manage. I left out the first real (non-school) story I wrote, which was submitted to GALAXY magazine in about 1964 and subsequently rejected; it never again saw the light of day. Nor does the list include my first novel — THE DARKNESS BEYOND — a tome hand-written in two exercise books during approximately a year of math lessons. As you may gather, this bibliography only includes published works. The remainder may rest inpeace.
SCRIBBLINGS
This is a metaphor, of course. Very few of the enclosed pieces were scribbled. (Pen? What's a pen?) Some of them were talks delivered at conferences or readings; others were published in online e-zines; some have never seen the light of day 'til now. Eventually there will be stories, extracts from this and that, and rambling thoughts about writing. Some film reviews, too. Oh, and a couple of poems� yikes! Mental scribblings, all of them.OBSESSIONS
An obsession is the fluff that keeps appearing in your navel, the itch in your armpit that won't go away, the Godzilla paraphernalia that appears randomly around the house� oops, who put that in there? An obsession is the zombie sitting on your telly and the phantom shape that forms in the darkness at the end of the hall. It's the fifty-odd Jethro Tull CDs and the similar number of Hawkwind albums that sub-human friends mock at when they come to visit. Your obsessions define your inner fannishness. Here are some of mine.OLDER NEWS
