BOOGEYMAN (1986) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28" X 17"

I love doing covers for anthologies, and I especially enjoy doing covers for horror anthologies. This piece was commissioned for one of DAW Books' annual collections of The Year's Best Horror Stories. 1/3

A tall, slender boogeyman with exaggeratedly long arms quietly slides open the closet door of a child's bedroom. Jostled hangers slide to either side as the creature emerges from behind the cover of clothing. Red dots glow like molten beads set in deep sockets. A double wrinkled ridge defines a wide brow while elfish ears knife out and back, framing a sloped dome that nearly touches the top shelf. The closet rod bars its way forward, crossing just below its round, snub nose. Salivating, its jaw hangs open in a V-shaped smile lined with short sharp teeth.

This Sunday at 9pm Eastern (1am Monday UTC) once again rises #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come join us as we watch a cheesy monster movie and toot about it!

This week we're watching VAMPIRE CIRCUS (1972) a Hammer horror flick about circus vampires preying on children in 19th century Serbia! Given who made it, we can probably expect lots of arterial spray and maybe some bare boobs.

The flick's free over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/100004533/vampire-circus

Or on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbG7lnzccI

Or you can download in advance from archive.org: https://archive.org/details/vampire-circus-1972-1080p-blu-ray-yts.-mx

See you there!

I watched Bring Her Back and then I needed WolfCop as a palate cleanser.

(Bring Her Back is sad and gory and a lot. Mostly sad. Someone needs to tell the foley people to tone it down like 3 notches please.

WolfCop is completely unhinged, unapologetically B-horror and extremely Canadian, about a cop who is also a werewolf. So you can see how that helps.)
