A bout of insomnia last night led me to the discovery of a very fun thing caled Trailers from Hell.
Basically it’s directors, screenwriters and other noted professionals presenting and commenting the trailers of their favorite movies.
Nothing fancy, but really fun.
Here’s John Landis, and one of his (and my!) favorites, King Solomon‘s Mines…
This Sunday, a double feature.
From the absolutely excellent “radio drama” Thrilling Adventure Hour“, a two-part episode of what’s my favorite segment…

It’s Sunday, let’s go back in time.
Here’s some footage from the Roy Chapman Andrews expeditions in Mongolia and the Taklamakan/Gobi desert in 1913.

Giacomo Dacarro, the webmaster of the blog Trasmutazioni and my long-suffering cover artist Giordano Efrodini had a go at a LEGO version of Bride of the Swamp God.
It’s great, and I think the world needs to see it.
My series work has just begun, and already I have fan-art and action figures!
A friend just pointed out this old pulp cover to me, and I had to blog it here.
And Break the Noose Gently is a hell of a title.
Addendum: yes, both my current editors are gorgeous young ladies.
And no, I never though about boxing them and sending them elsewhere.
Just in case someone wondered.
Today something a little different.
An example of how much the Indiana Jones vibe was felt thoughout the media in the early ’80s.
About the song, YMMV – but the video has some fine touches, and nails the Bogart-Ford continuum masterfully.
Enjoy.
This week, something different – the teaser for a documentary on the long forgotten pulp hero, Dr Obsidian!
Judging from the teaser, the the planned documentary will cover both the movie serials and the pulp novels, and will feature commentary from well known luminaries in the field of pulp collecting and pulp writing.
This is really worth a look – and thanks to my friend Story Foru, back at Miskatonic University, for suggesting it!
Enjoy!
