Yes, Chilly Billy! I loved and looked forward to Saturday nights when he was
hosting that program! The first time I saw "Night of the Living Dead" was on
Chilly Billy's show (what the hell is it called again?). I think that is the
main reason why I will never forget Chilly Billy! I love the part in NOTLD
when Bill asks the sheriff about the zombies and the sheriff says "They're
dead, they're all messed up." Last thing I saw was that Bill was doing a lot
of PR work for WPXI. Seems he has been doing a lot of that ever since I first
heard of him (at least). As far as I know he is still doing commercials for
WPXI. Well, I wonder if they'll ever bring the show back?

up over ol' H.P. and the Necricomicon (however its spelled) does anyone know
where a body could obtain a Miskatonic U. sweatshirt?  (preferably swim team

is no real place called Miskatonic U.

I enjoyed Gerald's Game.  I'm not into the bondage/handcuff thing
(yes, I know I'm boring :-) ), which I think made it that much more
horrible.  Also, it was one of the few King books that really doesn't
have any elements of the supernatural in it - it all goes on in
Jessie's head (which maybe means that this won't be turned into a
terrible movie a few years down the road)
One thing that bothered me was that the picture on the front of the
book is not the bed that is described in the book.  Very poor double-
checking.

  Yeah! _Book of the Dead_, edited by John Skipp & Craig Spector, is a good
one... if you can find it. It's good (especially David J. Schow's "Jerry's
Kids Meet Wormboy"), but it's a wee bit guilty of false advertising; it 
says that it's a collection of stories in George A. Romero's zombie mythos,
but some of the stories either (a) don't feature Romero-style zombies (some
times even traditional Haitian voodoo ones) or (b) muck around with the
"rules" too much (having zombies talk, etc.). Some of you probably won't
care about this, but _Dawn of the Dead_ is my favorite horror film, so
I'm a bit of a purist. :-) I also have the sequel, _Still Dead_; haven't read
it yet, but review forthcoming if anyone cares. The Stephen King collections
_Night Shift_ and _Skeleton Crew_ are also very tasty.
  On the SF side, I strongly recommend any anthology edited by Isaac Asimov,
Martin H. Greenberg, and Charles G. Waugh. Somehow they manage to unearth all
manner of rare gems. The "Best Science Fiction Stories of the Year" series 
of the early '70s, when it was edited by Lester Del Rey, is also very good.

  Day of the Dead was filmed at Sanibel Island and Fort Myers, Florida. Also
  the Nike missle base outside Pittsburgh and a 125-acre limestone mine in
  Wampum, Pennsylvania became Seminole Storage Facility.

  The interesting part about the exterior shots of the storage facility is
  that when you see the cast standing on the elevator above ground it's a
  unworking reproduction built at Romero's summer home on Sanibel Island.
  The actual working elevator is at the Nike missile base in Pennsylvania.

I saw it.  Taped it in fact.  Not a bad movie.  I winced to see Lovecraft
and Bradbury reduced to the status of inside jokes but overall I enjoyed
it.  They did a damn spiffy job with the Big Monster at the end.  There
was one long shot where it looked kind of cheesy but other than that I
was impressed with how they carried it off.  It's definitely not a movie
to take seriously and it seems to be aimed at middle-to-low-brow tastes.

I saw an old Night Gallery episode last night on the sci-fi channel
in which Vincent Price hires Bill Bixby to translate from Arabic an
old book of magic which, he says, was the precursor to the Necronomicon.
Price says the Necromonicon was taken from this older book, but the
older book was so much worse, even the evil warped people who created
the Necronomicon refused to propagate some of the stuff in this older
book.

Gee, if I heard about the Necronomicon on TV, then it *must* be
real!!

Yup. I think her name is Lori. She was in Day of the Dead, the one in Florida
set in the underground base-type thing.  This movie would seem to break the
'filmed in the Pittsburgh area' mold, but it doesn't.  OK it sorta does. The

Universal put 4 million into the film, and will not put it out until Dino
D. Ent. allows them the use of the character of Hannibal Lector for the
sequel to "Silence of the Lambs".  To get the 4 million to finish the film,
supposedly someone allowed them the right to use it, but it was denied later.
In early August, they supposedly settled out of court, but it seems that has
changed.

the last thing I heard (this may be totally inacurate, but here goes) was
that the distributer was black-mailing (sp?) the producer or someone, and
was going to hold up the release date until he got what he wanted.  Anybody
know any details? or even if this is true?

unfotunatlkey very few people will honour the newgroup unless its been
discussed on alt.config beforehand. This all came up when alt.vampyres
was being discussed on alt.gothic  - I've added alt.config to the newsgroups
since it is appropriate for that group.
