   My friend Bert Edens has put together a horror anthology of stories inspired by
   the music of Alice Cooper. Dismember the Coop will be released on February 15,
   2024, and some of the proceeds will benefit the Solid Rock Foundation, which runs
   teen centers and was founded by the Coopers.

[34]The Sword and the Sorcerer Ephemera

    [35]The Sword and the Sorcerer  [36]No Responses »
   May 182022

   Albert Pyun's 1982 film The Sword and the Sorcerer has been one of my favorite
   films since I first saw it in its opening weekend. I have a few items related to
   the film. My most recent acquisition is the UK Press Book for the film, which
   provided theater owners with promotional information and advertising images. I
   also have a vintage Japanese program that was published to promote the film.
   Click on the images or links below to view the books and/or download PDF and CBZ
   files.

   Since originally posting this on April 5, I've added scans of the French lobby
   cards, as well as scans of the packaging for the two CD releases of the
   soundtrack!

   2022-06-20: Scans of seven U.S. promotional stills have been added.

   2022-11-29: Newspaper ad templates from the press kit have been added.

   [37]The Sword and the Sorcerer Ephemera

   Albert Pyun died on Saturday, November 26, 2022. RIP, Albert.

    [41]King Kong  [42]No Responses »
   Nov 062021

   [43][kong-banner.png] At the end of May 2021, I launched a new archive website
   devoted to the 1976 film King Kong. I was 12 when it came out, and I loved it. It
   was the first film I saw in a theater twice. All of these years later, I still
   love it.

   Over the decades, I have held on to some Kong stuff I had back then, as well as
   expanded my collection. I finally decided to share what I have with other fans of
   the film. You can find scans of newspaper and magazine articles, books, bubble
   gum cards, scripts, home video releases, and much more.

[46]VAX Professional: VMS Privilege Masks

   My ninth article for VAX Professional was entitled "VMS Privilege Masks," and it
   explained the various privileges VMS supported and how they were set and cleared.
   Most of this information is still accurate.

[51]Meeting Alice Cooper

   With Alice Cooper at the Grand Ole Opry, August 4, 2019

   I've been very lucky to get to meet and to know, to some degree, Alice Cooper.

   After the opening of his Theatre of Death Tour in 2009, his managers, Shep Gordon
   and Toby Mamis, invited me to write a blog post about the night for Alice's
   website. I did, and then I wrote similar posts for three other great experiences
   I had.

   [54]The First Time I Met Alice Cooper - September 30, 2000

   [55]Wonders in AliceLand - July 30, 2009

   [56]The Opening of the No More Mr. Nice Guy Tour - May 12, 2011 (the time our
   intrepid hero had his own personal concert)

   [57]The Original Alice Cooper Group - May 14, 2017 (and Lynda Carter, too!)

   I've seen a total of 30 Alice Cooper concerts, plus two dress rehearsals and the
   original group performance described in the 2017 post above.

[60]VAX Professional: The Callable TPU Interface

    [61]OpenVMS  [62]No Responses »
   May 132020

   Two in one day! My fourth [63]VAX Professional article was about the callable TPU
   interface. TPU stands for Text Processing Utility, and it was a language
   introduced in VAX/VMS V4.2 for writing editors. The EVE editor was written in
   TPU, and it was easy to extend or modify EVE by writing new TPU routines or
   modifying the existing routines. My FLIST program was also written in TPU (and
   C).

   In addition to describing the callable interface, I provided a MACRO module that
   provided a simplified callable TPU interface. The article describes why I did
   that.

[66]VAX Professional: The Extended LOGIN Program

    [67]OpenVMS, [68]Uncategorized  [69]No Responses »
   May 132020

   After way too long, I've finally posted another of my vintage [70]articles
   originally published in VAX Professional.

   [71]The Extended LOGIN Program details a MACRO program I wrote to perform the
   functions of my LOGIN.COM. Back when I was working on a VAX 11/785 and a VAX
   11/730, some serious performance gains could be achieved by replacing LOGIN.COM
   with a program, depending on what your LOGIN.COM did. Mine defined dozens of
   logicals and symbols, set terminal characteristics, and lots more. As noted in
   the article, the head of Professional Press told me that his login time dropped
   from 15 seconds to 5 seconds when he replaced his LOGIN.COM with LOGIN.MAR.

   You won't see those kinds of dramatic increases on modern OpenVMS systems, but
   it's still a lot faster and more efficient to use a program.

[73]Rick Baker interviews

   Nov 082019

   Rick Baker has had an amazing career, and I've been a fan of his for ages. He has
   a new, two-volume book out now, [76]Metamorphosis, and he's been doing interviews
   to promote it. Great stuff here!

   The video below is a 20-minute excerpt from Joe Rogan's interview with Rick
   that's all about An American Werewolf in London.

[83]Robert McCammon interview in Alabama Living magazine

    [84]Robert McCammon  [85]No Responses »
   Oct 012019

   My friend and favorite author, Robert McCammon, is the featured author in the
   October 2019 issue of Alabama Living magazine, which is the official statewide
   publication of the electric cooperatives in Alabama and the largest magazine of
   its type in the state, reaching some 400,000 electric cooperative consumers.

   The article is titled "Alabama's Own `Great American Read'" and can be
   read [86]on their website. You can read the [87]entire digital issue online at
   Issuu.com. The McCammon article is on page 24.

[89]One of my favorite books: Making a Monster

    [90]Books, [91]Planet of the Apes  [92]No Responses »
   Nov 302018

   Note: These have been removed from Archive.org, but I'm leaving the post because
   I do love these books....

   One of my first hardcover book purchases was Making a Monster, by Al Taylor and
   Sue Roy. The 1980 book looks at all of the great film makeup effects of the 20th
   century and the creators behind the effects. I can't tell you how many times I
   pored over this book. I still do.

   The book has been out-of-print for many years, and copies can be hard to find.
   Though no doubt illegally uploaded, scans of the book are available on
   Archive.org. I highly recommend it!

   Speaking of books on Archive.org, this wonderful book about the making of the
   1933 King Kong is also available there. There are newer editions of this book
   that are in-print and expanded, but this is the original 1975 publication.
