A magazine cover that says We Belong Dead that features An American Werewolf in London prominently (a collage painting) and insert pics for Ripper movies, King Kong, giant bug movies, and Dr. Who

Me too! I wrote a feature on the lesser-known big bug flicks of the 50s for this issue of #webelongdead

Two hardcover books. One is titled ‘Animals Attack!’ and the other ‘Trog: The Ultimate Tribute.’ The first shows wild animal movie creatures in caricature: a bear, shark, zombeaver, killer hornet, razorback, rat, piranha, and snake. The second shows the eponymous character looking very threatening. It is a troglodyte wearing furs in a forest

Just arrived - my contributor’s copies of two books for We Belong Dead. I’ve 12 or so essays in the Animals Attack! book and a short piece in the Trog special. I’ll have to assemble my full collection and do a post some day (my library is disorganized at present)

A picture of Boris Karloff as the Frankenstein Monster for a magazine article called “The Brain of Frankenstein, or Who’s Knocking Around in that Noggin?”

Cover is a painting of a still from the 1966 film The Black Cat. It shows a woman with an axe buried in her skull - pretty gruesome!

Just received my contributor’s copy of issue 45, in which I explore the different brains and associated personalities of the Frankenstein Monster through the classic Universal film, 1931 - 1948. Nothing like seeing your work in print! #webelongdead #frankenstein

Hazel Court is menaced by a rotting green zombie in Dr. Blood’s Coffin. They are in a mine

Writing an essay on Dr. Blood’s Coffin for an upcoming book on British 60s horror. It’ll be published by We Belong Dead Magazine in late 2025. I’m going to treat myself to a falafel wrap when I hit 1000 words. Using Akira Ifukube’s score for Destroy All Monsters as mood music. #webelongdead

Picture is an adaptation of the Italian movie poster for Four Flies on Grey Velvet. It shows a black background with an orange-red mask (featuring prominent white eyes) split in half. In the split there is the face of Dario Argento, who appears to be shrieking.

Received my contributor’s copy of #webelongdead magazine’s tribute to Dario Argento. I have essays on The Five Days and The Cat o’ Nine Tails. #darioargento @simonjballard.bsky.social
