This just in --
Comic artists S.R. Bissette (SWAMP THING, TABOO, TYRANT) and Denis St. John (MONSTERS & GIRLS) will be doing a signing for THE VERMONT MONSTER GUIDE (illustrated by Bissette) and MONSTERS & GIRLS at Comic Boom in Keene, NH (just up the block and around the corner from the Colonial Theatre) earlier in the day on the 24th. They'll also be donating signed copies of THE VERMONT MONSTER GUIDE, THE VERMONT GHOST GUIDE, and MONSTERS & GIRLS for us to give away at the show, but attending the signing is the only way to guarantee that you go home with copies of these terrifying tomes and get a chance to chat with the artists, who are both big-time horror fans and great guys.
Details as they develop can be found at

Also, the Keene State College Film Society will be running a 35mm print of the freaky French classic DIABOLIQUE that weekend (starting Friday 10/23, nightly at 7 & 9 PM, Sat/Sun matinees at 2PM), and nearby Brattleboro VT will host the annual Vermont Samurai-Kaiju Festival, which will feature two of the newer Gamera films on Sunday, though I suspect they may be video projections. If they do turn out to be shown on 35mm, you know where I'll be that day...
Anyway, just wanted to let folks know about the embarrassment of horrific riches going on in the Keene, NH area on the weekend of the 24th...
