For the Love of Science

Okay, so maybe it’s not really science, but all the best B Movies have ridiculously-named gadgets, gear and technology, not to mention alien species and newly-discovered planet-saving meteor specimens.

The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us is the new Kick-Starter project by crazy-clever Larry Blamire and his devoted Bantam Street troupe of actors, and it promises plenty of silliness for the whole family.

If you haven’t seen The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, get a copy now! Watch it and love it. You know you want to. Then race over to THIS KICK-STARTER PAGE and empty your bank account (pledge responsibly) for the sake of this movie.

Attack of the 50 Foot B Movie

Genius writer/director/actor Larry Blamire is at it again with his new Kick-Starter campaign for the third installment (three-quel?) to his cult favorite The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us.

If you love the beautifully cheesy B Movies of the 50’s and 60’s like I do, you will join the throng of screaming fans of the series. Perhaps we’ve all fallen under the mind-control of the Boney One, or maybe it’s just because it’s incredibly refreshing to see a family-friendly comedy/ horror spoof with witty (however silly) humor.

As a movie-lover and devoted Blamire fan, I implore you to make all Lost Skelton dreams come true by helping to fund this movie!

Just visit the Kick-Starter page HERE and throw as much money as you possibly at this film!

Need a tiny bit more? Here’s a trailer!

Please take a minute to hop over to THIS SITE and pledge a crazy-silly amount of cash to this movie project from the genius mind of Larry Blamire!

The Skeleton Next Door

Anyone who follows my blog on a regular basis knows that I LOVE cheesy B movies from the 50’s and 60’s. You know how I adore silly monsters with visible zippers and wires. You know I revel in the oft-disconnected and stilted dialog that overreaches science-fact. (That’s why it’s called science-fiction, right?)

I also LOVE the movie makers—writers, directors, actors, crew—that love their projects and pour out their hearts and souls into their films. I am especially fond of one absurdly arrogant skeleton who happens to be bent on world domination.

A few years ago I watched a film that changed my life. Really. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra reminded me that family-friendly movies could still be made. That not all comedies revolved around bathroom humor. That special effects can still be special, even without state-of-the-art computer animation. It refreshed my perspective on what it means for a cast and crew to come together and have fun telling a ridiculous story for the pure entertainment of their audience.

The sequel, Lost Skeleton Returns Again, followed up the homage/spoof with another fun jaunt into the silliness of writer/ director/ actor Larry Blamire’s world. Not only did he answer Animala’s Rock Dance with Chinfa’s Cantaloupe Dance (both of which I do on a regular basis), but he also assures us that even when you reach “the point of no return” you can pretty much “turn back anytime.”

When I heard that the Lost Skeleton was planning yet another take-over of the planet, my heart leapt for joy. Yes, a new Kick-Starter campaign has been launched to raise capital to fund the third installment, entitled The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us!

So here is your assignment my faithful friends: First, grab a copy of both The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and The Lost Skeleton Returns Again and watch them. I have included links on the pictures above. If you really want to be a teacher’s pet, invite everyone you know to your house and have a movie-watching party. (If you do this right, you can ask them to bring food, and then perhaps you won’t have to shop for groceries for another week.)

Next, visit HERE and make a pledge to help back the production of The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us.

Third, share the page with all of your social network and remind them that if they really loved you, they would back the movie, too.

Lastly, share this blog post and mark your calendar for the premier. It’s going to be swell!

Hurry Up and Write!

I have a confession to make. I’m not an extremely patient person. Oh, for some things I can bide my time, but for things that really get me excited—not so much.

So when I hear about sequels that are in pre-production, such as The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us, I get anxious for release. You see, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra and The Lost Skeleton Returns Again are some of my favorite satirical films. They pay brilliant homage to the B-Movies of the 1950’s. Writer/ director/ actor, Larry Blamire, has this third installment of his franchise just about ready for the Kickstarter campaign launch, and I can hardly wait.

He’s tweeted sneak-peeks of his script to his fans, and these little glimpses inspire me to do the happy dance! It also inspires me to get to work on my own stories.

It’s a common saying—Write the story you want to read. With that in mind, I have been working on a few writing projects.

I have a new children’s book out, called Pockets. It’s beautifully illustrated by my son, Sean Black.

I’m also working on a Historical Christian novel set in first-century Europe. This one is challenging me with lots of research. I love it, but I need to get it done!

When it is finished, I’ll get back to fleshing out my spy novel trilogy. (Think Audrey Hepburn/ James Bond mash-up.) I have a lot going on right now.

When I think about my characters and the stories I’m writing, though, they are already real to me. I know them, and I’m anxious for you to meet them, too! I just need to hurry up and write!
