Setting off the Halloween weekend, here’s my latest column in which I wax rhapsodic over some fave femme films (oh dear, alliteration overload):

Spooky Chicks: 4 Films Full of Female Mayhem

It’s nearly Halloween and if you’re like most people these halcyon days, you’re feeling more than a mite pinched in the wallet and depressed about your status in the world. Doubly so if you are female, because we always bear the brunt of austerity measures.
Well, nothing raises the spirits and boosts the ego like a little female mayhem. Sure you want to go on a rampage through the high street and smash windows, but you’d also like to have the possibility of keeping your job and acquaintances. Better to snack on your favorite high fat snack and let these women carry out the bloodshed for you.

A busy weekend ahead: of course! So many Halloween things going on, it will be hard to choose. Definitely a bonfire out at Mandi’s tonight with a bunch of folks and probably Sunday out at Mary’s in Berne, but in between…? Still making up my mind. Maybe I’ll just stay home and watch scary movies 🙂

I have been quoted in this article from the Schenectady Gazette, but as it’s behind a paywall, so you may need to take that into consideration. It’s in conjunction with a spooky dramatic reading program that’s going on Sunday afternoon by the Schenectady Civic Players. Not quite in time for Halloween, my zombie Western “High Plains Lazarus” will be available in the anthology Rotting Tales from Pill Hill Press next week. If you’re on Facebook, you can see a teaser of the story there.
