Hell, Michigan. It's a beautiful little place that's a helluva lot of fun to visit.

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein
I've never met a soul who remembers this whacked out show, yet Canadians Bill Strutt and Ben Kane have created this excellent tribute site.

More dancing monsters. This time with lyrics.

A Russian site. I don't know what they are saying, but it looks so COOL!

Necropsy
A fledgling Horror site hosted on the Louisiana State University servers. Not much there so far, but the roster of reviewers, including S.T. Joshi, is impressive.

Not Haunted or Horror but being this twisted, where else would he have a link?

The Ossuary In Sedlac

EDO'S BACK IN TOWN
After five years in publishing limbo, Edo van Belkom's long lost gaming novel ARMY OF THE DEAD is back from the dead and finally in print.

ARMY OF THE DEAD is a novel of war and peace, crawling with freshly resurrected zombies who have no other purpose in unlife but to kill. And, how exactly does one go about killing an army of undead zombies?

Any way you can...

HAPPY HORROR / THRILLER BIRTHDAY TO -
These days, the central cast figures who play the four Hobbits in LORD OF THE RINGS, go to autograph sessions and act like members of some pop boy band. They get the fans all riled up with their fun antics. They jump on chairs, goof around, applaud themselves and get the fans to cheer them over and over; then leave way before they've signed even a quarter of the autographs. Enjoy the ride boys! The last movie is in November and 2004 is just around the corner. And a Happy Birthday to
Billy Boyd (URBAN GHOST STORY, LORD OF THE RINGS: The Fellowship of the Ring, LORD OF THE RINGS: The Two Towers) who is 35.

His entire career has been Horror!
James Marsters (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER [TV], THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL [1999], ANGEL [TV]) is 41.

AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT
Okay, when I didn't snap to and wish Alfred Hitchcock a Happy Birthday, some of you got all nuts about it. Gang, how can you wish a Happy Birthday to a corpse? THEY AREN'T HAPPY! They aren't ANYTHING! It's not like they are gonna rise out of the grave moaning, "Where's my cake, Bedelia?" So how is this? Instead of saying Happy Birthday, I will simply point out that today is the birthday of writer
Howard Philips Lovecraft (AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, THE WALLS OF ERYX, SHADOW OVER INNSMOUTH, THE HAUNTED PALACE, "DIE, MONSTER, DIE", THE SHUTTERED ROOM, THE DUNWICH HORROR, RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, THE CURSE, THE RE-ANIMATOR II, CASTLE FREAK, BLEEDERS) who would be 113 today.

SUMMER KILL
What's going on in Europe regarding the weather is pretty rough, but in France it's horrible! People are dying from the heat and I'm not talking a few sickly folks here and there. As many as 3,000 people have died from the summer heat as of today. This story isn't Science Fiction, but it is Horror.

I HEAR YA!
I knew as soon as I saw the google search engine today that I had messed up. Sure, I rarely wish a happy birthday to dead folks, but corpses like Hitchcock deserve special mention long after their bodies have turned to dust. But when I got home, some o' you REALLY let me have it! Mea Culpa! (not the first time I've had to say that today!) I was wrong already! So Happy Birthday
Alfred Hitchcock (REBECCA, PSYCHO, THE BIRDS, FAMILY PLOT) would be 104.

READY FREDDY? LET'S CHAT
Robert Englund, star of the brand-spanking new film, FREDDY VS. JASON, will be chatting live on Thursday, August 14, at SCIFI.COM. The fun begins at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PT). URL for the chat is scifi.com/chat.


WHEREGO MISS CLEO?
Longtime readers of Feo Amante's Horror Home page will recall how phoney Jamaican Miss Cleo tried to seduce me back in her heyday. She dreamed about me. I gave her vibrations. She had visions about me. Talk about obsessive! Well now Youree Dell Harris, the Psychic con artist formerly known as Miss Cleo, has gone legit. She is the voice of Auntie Poulet in the popular kids videogame, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Yes, I know it has an "M" rating. But I only see kids play it and parents buy it for their kids. Oh, you are an adult and you play it? Well aren't you special?). What's more, today is her birthday! So Happy Birthday, Youree Dell Harris!

Soliel Moon Frye will forever be remebered by some as TV's Punky Brewster. Ugh. But the same year the child actress was pushed into that tripe, she also starred in Wes Craven's Invitation To Hell (considered Wes Craven's worst! Oh well). Soliel is an RCS (Recovering Child Star) these days and is working in a lot of Horror and Thriller movies. So give her kudos for that!
Soliel Moon Frye (INVITATION TO HELL, PUMPKINHEAD II: Bloodwings, TWISTED LOVE, PIRANHA, BLOODWINGS III: Pumpkinhead's Revenge, MIND GAMES, MOTEL BLUE, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH [TV]) is 27.
Writer / Director M. Night Shyamalan started out great and has been slowly sliding down hill ever since. But he's also ready for a great come back!
M. Night Shyamalan (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS) is 33.
Okay, so Michelle Yeoh hasn't been in a lot of Horror / Thriller / Mystery / Suspense movies - but I'm just CRAZY about her and her chop-socky action flicks!
Michelle Yeoh (THE HEROIC TRIO, HEROIC TRIO 2) is 41.
