Piranha 3DD sinks to the bottom

I loved Alex Aja's remake of the Roger Corman classic killer fish tale, so I had no doubt in my mind that Piranha DOUBLE D would knock me off my jet ski. Well not only did I get knocked off, but I fell on concrete! The first one is so much better on every level. This one is actually pretty embarrassing to watch. I was disappointed in this sequel in almost every way. No fun deaths, the fun cameos overstayed their welcome, the writing was done by a nine year old. I mean I don't expect a masterpiece about killer fish. Just up the fun for your sequel! It reminded me of Hangover 2 compared to the first Hangover. You have seen all this already and want something more but John Gulager (director of FEAST) delivers less. WAY less. It's not looking good for horror this summer at the box office. Both Piranha 3DD and Chernobyl Diaries are tanking. Anyone have a lifesaver?

An E-mail I received this morning

"Also saw Cabin in the Woods. Mom and I didn't like it. Was different. Started out as Your typical teen slasher flick , The puppet masters institute, running the show was a bit much. Just wished I saw it on cable or dvd. Not worth $20 bucks. The Three Stooges was ten times better......" -Dad


Ouch.

Goodbye old friend

So this is an update I wish I did not have to make. It looks like after six spooky, scary, cranked up to eleven years singing for the my band Sharkteeth I'm hanging up the mic and the band is going it's separate ways. It has been an amazing six years with the band and showing you all what I love to do. Entertain you all with some of the best horror rock out there and give you something more at a show then just a band on a stage. From Wolfman masks to shitty CD battles to broken tombstones and jack o' lanterns covered in beer. I have so many good memories, and those are the ones that I will keep. Will I be involved in music again? You bet! Something a bit different I think you all will like. Until then, thank you everyone who supported us at shows or bought a record! We did it for you. Stay scary!

A lonely sleigh ride

Working at Universal, holidays come and go like daily meals. Most just trudge through the seasons not really caring. "It's just a job" most of them say. Even though I'm 26 in my own home, I still want to enjoy the holidays. Halloween made a huge impact in my lifestyle (most cannot say that.) As a kid my father showed me monster movies and took me trick or treating. It taught me that if the world can be scary for a month, why can't it be scary all year round? I never stopped loving Samhain and I now pretty much experience it 365 days a year, so that's the 4-1-1 on my favorite holiday.

This doesn't mean I dislike Christmas in the least. In fact I love it! Though it is true that the holiday season is a lot more fun when you have someone by your side. I can remember taking past girl friends out window shopping and going to winter parades and festivals. These past few years I have not been so lucky with the ladies. The only reason my holiday spirit was up so high last year was due to my old roommate Pez. This was her holiday and she made sure to help me out with anything possibly Christmas related around the house. Well girl and guy roommates are totally different! It seems like I'm the only person in the house this year that really cares. And that's fine. The Christmas season isn't for everyone and I totally get that. It's just kind of lonely I guess.

So I throw a Christmas gathering every year to kind of bring that joy and warm feeling to a lot of my friends who work nonstop and are kind of stuck in their own world. Scary horror movies and monsters aside, I'm a very kind hearted person who enjoys dressing descent, smooth jazz and a nice glass of chardonnay. I just like to break the basic Keenan mold every once and a while.

Why do I keep doing this? Why do I put tons of Christmas lights on the house, decorate the tree next to the fire and buy presents every year even though I'm getting older and should be enjoying my bachelor life style? I really think it has to do with wanting a mini Keenan. I want to keep the spirit alive for my future son or daughter. I couldn't imagine being in a family that didn't celebrate a joyful and fun holiday like Christmas. So I guess you could say you all are my children at this years party until I acquire one for myself, haha! But really, I just want experience these months through my child's eyes. I think this would uplift my spirits and remind me that this is what the holidays are for.


Here are a few pictures form past Christmas gatherings:

Shit Talkers

It has come to my attention that I've been getting shit talked and ragged on more now then ever before. Sure everyone does it. I do time to time. Hell most of us do! But the things I'm hearing now are just hurtful and down right awful. I sit and rack my brain wondering what I did to these "friends" to deserve all this back talk. The answer is simple. Nothing. People shit talk to make themselves look better. Is it jealousy or just conversation? Or maybe both? The fact of the matter is I could now care less.

For years I hated when people were mad at me and hated me. I would do everything in my power to make sure everyone of my friends liked me. One day I just woke up and didn't care anymore. If they are really my friends they wouldn't talk bad about me. It just hurts to hear negative things about someone you really felt was a great friend. Though in the Orlando production world everyone here pulls the two faced act like they matter in the industry. This is a reason I don't want to move out to California for work. If I think it's bad here I KNOW it can only get worse there. Now I'm not saying everyone in the production industry is fake. It's just now rearing it's ugly head at me. I just hope I get proven wrong in the near future.

Couldn't have said it better myself...

Are we saying goodbye to Elvira's Movie Macabre???

So I had a chance to chat one on one with mistress of the night herself, Elvira in Atlanta a few weeks ago. We talked a bit about her new TV show, Elvira's Movie Macabre. She was so excited to tell me about future plans for the shows next season and where things were heading in the near future. I'm now sadden to hear that Movie Macabre is in limbo with the CW. This really pisses me off! There are no more late night horror hosts showing cheesy yet classic horror and sci-fi films anymore. Elvira's show was always on top when it came to making fun of classic low budget films next to Mystery Science Theater 3000. If Movie Macabre is not picked up for a second season you can expect me to raise some hell on Bloody-Disgusting Radio show. We have many listeners in the horror community and they (along with myself) will raise some hell!
