Update for May
I'm not even going to try for a snappier title for this month's newsletter! April was a grind... Lots of work, and very little time to concentrate on anything else.
That said, I have a lot of projects – some TV movie related – that should be announced at some point. I’m very excited about all of it. But, for now, thanks to time and having so little of it, I don’t have much to report on except for a couple of announcements and another list of titles to keep us rolling through 365 Made for TV Movies that Need a DVD/Blu Ray Release. Here we go…
Summer is coming, so let’s celebrate with a watchalong party with Wes Craven’s classic 1978 TV movie Summer of Fear. We’ll be meeting up on BlueSky May 24th at 1pm CST. Use #TVMParty and you can watch the movie here. See you then!
Announcements
Here’s what new this month:
Vinegar Syndrome announced two horror titles last month that I am so pleased to be a part of. I wrote essays for Murderock and The Nesting. They were a real treat to work on. For Murderock I wrote about dancing in 1980s horror films and for The Nesting, I got to take a dive into the Female Gothic movement of the 1970s.
I am forever grateful for work like this because I love cheerleading these movies and I love that people trust me enough to tackle very diverse topics with the idea that I can help enrich the viewer’s experience. To say that has been my lifelong dream would be an understatement. And thank you to everyone who supports my writing, commentaries, etc. Means so much.

Summer of Fear #TVMParty, you say? I’m there! Sx
I picked up a bunch of vhs from an estate sale and so far have found 1986 Triplecross, 1983 Carpool, and 1984 I Married a Centerfold… which I can’t tell if Tim Daly had fake buckteeth or they were natural and he had them corrected before Wings? I was mainly focused on commercials before, which TV Movies do have great commercials, but you’ve given me a new appreciation for finding them in the wild!
