"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." – H.P. Lovecraft.

In this new millennium, the information age, this era of instant communication, it is more difficult than ever to truly frighten an audience. Everyone knows so much. Therefore, time and again, graphic violence and shock become easy substitutes for that unique, spine tingling dread that truly captivates an audience. Disgust and revulsion are easier than suspense, intrigue, and terror. It is our mission with WildClaw Theatre to engage our audience by appealing to their imagination, taking them on strange journeys of dread, suspense, terror and wonder. In other words, Horror Theatre. Deathscribe continues that pursuit of intelligent, imaginative horror storytelling. After the success of our inaugural production, Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan, we continue exploring the history and evolution of the horror genre through a performance of live horror radio plays. Horror radio gave millions of radio listeners their weekly fix of terror from the 1930's through the 1960's, until television finally pushed it out of the picture. Horror radio directly engages the imagination of the audience, using only deft storytelling to arouse fear and terror in the collective mind of the listener.

Deathscribe, Ten Minutes of Terror Radio Play Festival will consist of five original ten minute horror radio dramas, with live foley sound and a live band for accompaniment. Admission for this evening of horrific entertainment will be $20.This guarantees to be a unique and thrilling evening of horrific entertainment, as well as a grand kickoff to WildClaw Theatre's thrilling second season, which includes H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dreams in the Witch House" directed and adapted by Charley Sherman, and Scott T. Barsotti's "The Revenants", directed by Anne Adams.

Take time to reconnect with SlayAlive Forums

Tim pointed out at Slayathon that the Slayalive forums are very groovy. I have been oh so wretched about visiting the forums recently...and I see that I have been missing alot. In addition to being a viable and active online community, both Scott Allie of Dark Horse Comics, as well as Brian Lynch from IDW Comics are regular visitors and posters on the forum. So if you want to hear comics news straight from the source and share in your love for Buffy and Angel and all things Whedon...please check out the Slayalive forums!

Huzzah New Buffy DS Game!

huge thanks to Kassi for letting me know...I am very excited. I adore my little pink nintendo ds and will be super pleased to have a Buffy game for it!

Here's the skinny:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice combines third-person and first-person gameplay to create an all-new experience in the Buffyverse. The stakes are high for players as they take on the role of Buffy to seal the re-opened Hellmouth in an original story penned by Rob Deshotel, a writer from the TV series.

This action-packed 3D survival horror game sees Buffy using a range of special weapons, powerful spells and martial arts to take out vicious vampires and demons. In addition to these enemies, players also come across recognizable characters from the show, including Spike, Angel, the Master, the First Evil, Caleb and, of course, the Scooby Gang.

I am still alive..podcast coming...

I know you are all sick of my lies on the subject...but contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and there is a podcast coming. I have had one recorded for eons...but at this point it's probably better to just re-record the thing and have done with it. I will probably throw up a sloppy unedited version this weekend. While at the Comic Con...which was awesome...I got really sick and lost my voice, which I only just got back yesterday...so my plan is to get some cheap wine...drink it...then record a podcast for ya all about Destiny, The Twlight Saga, and the song "Wild Horses" from Buffy "the Prom"...so if you have any last words on the subject, speak now.

In the meantime, the last of the Twilight novels has come out and I am steadily reading it. There is also a press and promo blitz for the upcoming Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire novels tv show on HBO called Bad Blood...I am sooooo looking forward to this. For on this and other vampire fiction laters....

And now.....me and a wookie.
