So, how is your weekend going? Mine started out with a conversation with horror writer/director William Malone. Malone created quite a few scares in his career with the likes of FeardotCom and the Masters Of Horror highlight Fair-Haired Child. Malone’s latest film is the impressive Parasomnia. I recently reviewed the film here at Upcomingdiscs on DVD. Malone was kind enough to arrange for me to get a Blu-ray, which I’ll talk about later.
Until then, enjoy a conversation with William Malone. Bang it here to listen in: William Malone Podcast

Years ago I was fishing at an isolated hidden mountain lake with my friend, local DJ Willie Nelson. It was midnight just as my birthday was to begin on June 21st (Summer Solstice). We both witnessed something that neither of us were ever able to explain. What can only be described as a UFO, was what we saw. Bright lights moving silently close to the ground and over us. I wrote this song about the experience years later and included it on my Invented Memories album. Enjoy this real-life horror tale:

In the year 2000 the horror community awarded me song of the year for a song I wrote about my love of monster films. When I played the song for Sarah Karloff she nearly busted my guitar because she was hugging me so tight. With the help of my wife Ellen Sassani on cello and Daniel Swartwood on keyboards we recorded the song as a tribute to Boris Karloff. Enjoy this completely original song. It’s available as a bonus track on the In Cold Blood CD. Check out the ad to the right to get one.
